After 25+ years in clinic, I don’t say these things to be controversial. I say them because these things are empowering for women when you understand them.

Women are not living in bodies that are failing them- rather bodies that are responding to their internal and external environment.

Responding to depletion
To cold.
To pressure.
To excessive stimulation.
To living in survival mode.

In Chinese Medicine we don’t separate all the systems of the body into separate boxes. They’re all open conversation happening inside the body at all times. When there’s disruption and scarcity of the essential energetic requirements of the body- symptoms appear such as menstrual irregularities and pain, burnout, and issues with fertility.

So yes.. these are things I will always stand by when I’m supporting my patients and the woman in my community:

➡️ Painful periods deserve investigation.

➡️ You can’t just throw supplements at problems and expect a fix.

➡️ Cold and restriction in movement weaken reproductive function.

➡️ And healing rarely comes from intensity - it comes from steady, gentle consistency.

My job isn’t to make up rules you need to follow- It’s to help guide you towards a deeper understanding of your body, so that it stops feeling unpredictable.

Comment ‘YIN’ for more information on my new CEU program for acupuncture and herbal practitioners that want to specialize in women’s health and fertility.

but still feel unsure with complex women’s health cases — you’re not alone.

That’s exactly why I created The Yinstitute for Women’s Medicine.

It’s a space to slow down, think deeply, and actually integrate what you’re learning — so it shows up in your clinic with clarity and confidence.

Our first lecture is coming up, and I would love to have you inside!

I don’t believe AMH is the most significant predictor of female fertility.

And that will always be one of the hills I’ll die on as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine with 25 years specializing in women’s health and fertility…

What I’m paying MORE attention to is the environment that your egg has to live in.

Anti- Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a biomarker that tells us a lot about the quantity, or reserves, of your egg supply- it’s an estimate of remaining follicles.

Helpful? YES!
The whole story? NO. Not even close.

Because eggs don’t just exist in isolation, they go through a maturation process inside the body over a course of several months. The way that they develop is heavily influenced by factors such as:

~ blood flow
~ inflammation
~ stress hormones (such as cortisol)
~ sleep
~ nutrient availability and absorption
~ nervous system stability
~ hormonal signalling

Put simply- egg quantity may be fixed, but egg QUALITY is responsive.

I’ve seen women with ‘hopeless’ AMH levels of

On International Women’s Day this year, I find myself thinking about one thing that stands out to me the most: The need for support 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼

Support that goes beyond Google. Beyond a 5 minute doctor’s appointment. Beyond those ‘Hope you’re doing ok”” texts from well meaning friends.

After 25 years in women’s health, as a doula, educator and practitioner of Chinese Medicine, I’ve learned this:

Women are remarkably strong, but far too often this strength means that we try to carry things alone. And often the narrative is so fixated on rewarding women for their strength and endurance, that we forget that women are supposed to thrive in environments of safety, calm, and community centred support- not chaos, uncertainty and isolation.

Too often women are:
Alone in pain
Alone in confusing diagnoses
Alone in their fertility struggles
Alone in pregnancy loss
Alone in hormonal changes and cycle transitions that they weren’t fully prepared for.

My work has never just been about formulas and acupuncture points. It’s about providing a safe space where a woman can feel heard- where her symptoms are not minimized or dismissed as normal. Where her instincts are respected, and her body is treated as intelligent rather than problematic.

Women don’t need more pressure to ‘fix’ themselves. Especially those of you that are navigating struggles and challenges with fertility.
What’s needed above anything else is informed guidance and compassionate care.

This is the foundation of my work and it’s reflected in everything I do to support women through all stages of life. From general wellbeing, to managing cycles, fertility, pregnancy and menopause- my social pages, free online communities, and my acupuncture clinic (📍Mother Nurture Wellness, LA) are safe spaces where women support women, with professional clinical oversight so that you’re never left guessing.

✨✨So let today be a reminder: your story matters. Your experience is real and valid. And you were never meant to walk alone✨✨
