Women’s Health

Traditional Chinese Medicine has supported women through every stage of life for thousands of years. The female body changes continuously, and it is best served by a medicine that changes with it. Through careful pulse and tongue diagnosis, Kristi identifies the underlying channel imbalances specific to each patient at a given point in her life. This shapes both the acupuncture treatment and the herbal prescription.

Treating the root of an imbalance matters. When an underlying pattern is resolved, it stops generating symptoms, not just at this stage of life, but at the next one too. This is where Traditional Chinese Medicine as a preventative medicine shows its greatest strength.

Conditions Treated

MENOPAUSE AND PERIMENOPAUSE

Traditional Chinese Medicine has addressed hormonal transitions for centuries. Hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood changes, weight gain, low libido, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating all respond well to acupuncture and herbal medicine. Kristi has guided many women through this transition more comfortably. FSM adds a layer of nervous system support that is particularly valuable when anxiety, sleep disruption, or physical tension are prominent.

GENERAL GYNECOLOGY

Acupuncture and herbal medicine are effective at balancing hormones and regulating blood flow. Conditions Kristi has treated successfully include amenorrhea, endometriosis, hormonal imbalances, irregular menstruation, ovarian cysts, PCOS, and uterine fibroids. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary guidance are generally incorporated together.

FERTILITY SUPPORT

Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and FSM can each play a supportive role in fertility. Treatment addresses the underlying channel imbalances and overall constitutional health that create the conditions the body needs to conceive. Please note that these services are offered as complementary support alongside your medical care and are not a substitute for medical fertility treatment.

PREGNANCY SUPPORT

Acupuncture and dietary guidance support healthy pregnancies. Fatigue, nausea, muscle pain, and insomnia during each trimester all respond to treatment. Certain acupuncture points are contraindicated during pregnancy and are not used in this practice. Please let us know at booking.

POSTPARTUM RECOVERY

Traditional Chinese Medicine nourishes and restores the body after the demands of pregnancy, labor, and birth. It supports breastfeeding, the return of menstruation, and the resolution of postpartum imbalances.

FSM and women’s health: Frequency Specific Microcurrent helps shift the nervous system from a state of chronic stress into rest and regulation. For women navigating hormonal transitions, this parasympathetic shift supports better sleep, reduced anxiety, and improved hormone balance. FSM is available to established patients.

Book an Appointment

Women’s health conditions benefit most when treated at the root rather than the symptom. If you are navigating a hormonal transition or a gynecological concern that has not responded to conventional care, a thorough intake is the first step.
