ACUPUNCTURE
Support for natural conception, IUI, IVF, sperm health, threatened miscarriage, unexplained infertility and regulation of the menses. Deal with issues like PMDD, PCOS. Whether you’ve just begun to think about conceiving or you’ve been trying for years, I have worked with someone just like you.
FERTILITY
Relief from morning sickness, back ache, sciatica, breech baby and other common pregnancy issues. Why ride it out until baby arrives? Prepare your body for labor so it’s likely to begin spontaneously. If you’re planning a medical induction, this preparation will support its success. You can begin preparing your body for labor at 34 weeks.
PREGNANCY
Unless it’s your jam, being in pain wears our spirits down. It muddies our ability to think, cope, and care about the things that light us up. We become less animated, more contracted and cranky. Why should your favorite childhood memory be your back not hurting? Acute injury or chronic pain, you have options.
PAIN
Recovery from birth - vaginal or surgical. Combined with pelvic floor rehab therapy, acupuncture significantly improves pelvic function and relieves pain. Depression and anxiety interfere with your enjoyment of life and your child. Low milk supply can chip away at your confidence. You don’t have to weather it alone.
POSTPARTUM
Balancing the erotic and the domestic is not a puzzle we solve, it’s a paradox we manage. It’s not enough to simply not be dead. I will want to know about what sparks your hope and keeps you engaged with possibility. And how it is that vitality seeps out of you. Our work is to help you connect with your aliveness. If you are in a romantic relationship, it can be helpful for your partner to be part of our sessions.
SEXUAL VITALITY
Your skin keeps careful notes on your life: every delight, every worry, every frustration, every all-nighter, every cigarette. You’re not alone if you want to lighten your past from your face. Microneedling and facial acupuncture are a gentle, relaxing, and non-invasive way to maintain your radiance and de-stress.

“People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures.”
We start with a conversation about what brings you in. In your first visit, we go over your health history in depth and you receive a full acupuncture treatment. Your first acupuncture visit will be about 80 minutes.
Follow up visits are 50-60 minutes, depending on your current needs, and include any bodywork I feel may help you: cupping, moxa, gua sha, tui na, etc. I customize each treatment with care and treat only one person at a time.
I suggest herbal formulas, dietary changes, home follow up care, and/or lifestyle adjustments if I feel they would benefit you. I might send you home with acupressure homework if you’re seeing me for labor preparation.
WHAT TO EXPECT
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR A SESSION?
It would be helpful if you were not on an empty stomach so have at least a light meal before our session. Remember to let me know if you have any allergies or sensitivities. Loose fitting clothes are the easiest to work around.

I recommend checking with your insurance company to see if you are covered for acupuncture and, if so, what specific conditions your insurance covers acupuncture for.
