Women’s Health

Your body is not a problem to be fixed.

Women move through many seasons - menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause and menopause. Each stage brings its own changes, and sometimes the transition can feel anything but smooth. I work with women to support a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Stress & nervous system

    When life feels full, the body can become stuck in a state of doing. Acupuncture can offer a space to slow down, settle and reconnect.

  • Menstrual health

    Irregular or painful periods, PMS, cycle-related symptoms and supporting a more balanced menstrual cycle.

  • Fertility

    Supporting women through their fertility journey, including preparation for conception and alongside assisted fertility treatment where appropriate.

  • Pregnancy

    Gentle acupuncture support throughout pregnancy for common pregnancy-related discomforts and wellbeing.

  • Postpartum

    Gentle support for rest, recovery and wellbeing after birth, with space to focus on your own needs as you adjust to life with your baby.

  • Hormonal transitions

    Supporting women through perimenopause and menopause as the body moves through a significant period of change.

Your treatment is individual

Acupuncture, under the framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine, looks beyond a single symptom. Two women can arrive with the same concern and need completely different treatment.

Your constitution, your history, your current symptoms, your cycle, your energy and the season of life you are in all help shape your treatment.

My intention is to create a space where you feel listened to, cared for and supported - not simply treated for a symptom.

My approach

  • Gentle

    I work gentley with your body and adapt treatment to what you need on the day.

  • Holistic

    I look at the whole person rather than treating a symptom in isolation.

  • Personal

    There is no standard treatment. Your health history, constitution and current needs guide the way.

  • Empowering

    I share practical tools and knowledge so that you can better understand and support your own wellbeing.

“At seven years of age, a girl's Kidney energy becomes abundant...

At fourteen, the Tian Gui (the precious dew/menstrual essence) arrives, the directional pathways open, and the flush of blood flows regularly...

At forty-nine, the directional pathways grow empty, the Tian Gui dries up, and the body yields to a new season of life.”

Huangdi Neijing
(The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine)

The Three Golden Opportunities

 

Menstruation

 

Your cycle is a direct mirror of your internal harmony. We don't accept painful periods, PMS, or irregular cycles as just something you have to live with.The Goal: By regulating the flow of Qi and Blood, acupuncture works to harmonize your hormones and make your monthly transition effortless.

 

Postpartum

 

The month following childbirth is the ultimate window for deep recovery. Ancient texts teach that proper nourishment during this phase can even cure old, chronic ailments.The Goal: We focus entirely on nourishing your reserves - using gentle acupuncture to replenish your blood, boost energy, and support emotional healing.

 

Menopause

 

In TCM, menopause is celebrated as a beautiful rebirth called your "Second Spring." Energy previously directed outward is redirected inward to fuel your wisdom and longevity.The Goal: Acupuncture helps clear excess heat (hot flushes and night sweats), calms the nervous system, and smoothly anchors your energy into this empowered new season.
