Getting pregnant isn’t just about timing—it’s about preparation. Your body needs the right foundation for fertility, a healthy pregnancy, and a thriving baby, and that starts before conception. Acupuncture is a powerful tool to help balance your hormones, regulate your menstrual cycle, improve blood flow to the uterus, and support overall reproductive health. It can also reduce stress, which is one of the biggest hidden factors affecting fertility.

Prenatal blood work is another essential step. It allows us to check your nutrient levels, hormone balance, and other key markers so that we know exactly what your body needs to optimize fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Many people don’t realize that deficiencies in iron, folate, vitamin D, or thyroid function issues can quietly impact your ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term.

Targeted supplement support fills in the gaps that diet alone can’t cover, ensuring your body has the building blocks it needs for egg quality, hormone balance, and a strong start for your baby.

I offer all of these services—acupuncture, lab testing, and personalized supplement guidance—because preparing your body before pregnancy gives you the best chance for a healthy, smooth journey. I’m here to support you every step of the way, answering questions, providing guidance, and helping you feel confident in your preconception plan.

There’s been a lot of talk about the “tradwife” lately…but let’s set the record straight.

The original traditional wives weren’t just homemakers.
Thousands of years ago, women tended to their homes and their communities. They cultivated herbs, mixed potions, delivered babies, and served as the healers and wisdom-keepers of their villages. They weren’t “just staying home”, they were holding the fabric of society together.

To me, honoring traditional values means embracing both roots and evolution: nurturing my home, my relationships, and my work with the same devotion.

I’m so grateful to live in a time where I can run a business, help others heal, and still stay connected to the rhythm of home.

Modern womanhood isn’t a rejection of tradition — it’s a reclamation of it ♥️

Most people think facial acupuncture is just about looking younger. That’s only part of the story.

The real magic happens from the inside out. By improving circulation, calming your nervous system, balancing hormones, and supporting your body’s natural healing, facial acupuncture allows your skin to reflect your internal health.

So yes, you’ll notice a brighter tone, firmer skin, and a natural glow. But the bigger benefit? Feeling calmer, more balanced, and truly radiant from within. 🌿

Most people hear “fall” in Chinese medicine and think lungs and letting go. That’s true.. but only on the surface.

This season is about hidden currents, subtle energy, and quiet preparation. Fall asks us to notice what we’ve been carrying all year, integrate what matters, and store what nourishes us for the depth of winter.

Are you listening to your body this autumn? 🌿

Thank you 🤍

I’ve been spending a lot of my evenings lately curled up with textbooks and case studies, working toward my FABORM certification, a fellowship that focuses on advanced reproductive medicine from both Eastern and Western perspectives.

Right now, I’m especially drawn to prenatal care through the lens of Chinese herbal medicine. The more I study, the more I fall in love with how elegant, safe, and individualized this medicine can be for pregnant women.

In the clinic, I often see women struggling with the very normal yet deeply uncomfortable parts of pregnancy:
🌿 Nausea and morning sickness
💤 Fatigue and low energy
🔥 Heartburn and digestive issues
💧 Swelling and water retention
😴 Anxiety, mood shifts, or trouble sleeping
🌸 Preparing the body for labor and postpartum recovery

Chinese medicine offers such gentle ways to support each of these, not by suppressing symptoms but by restoring balance. Herbs can nourish blood and fluids, acupuncture calms the nervous system, and small dietary adjustments can make a big difference in comfort and energy.

There’s something incredibly special about helping someone feel well while they’re growing life. The more I study, the more awe I feel for the body and for this medicine that’s been guiding women’s health for thousands of years.

If you’re pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or simply curious how acupuncture and herbal medicine can support your journey, I’d love to share more. 💛

I know this will get me in trouble… I said what I said:

Cupping fixes what massage can’t.

I love massage. I love chiropractic care. Both have their place. But let’s be honest, there are layers of tension, fascial restrictions, and stagnant energy that hands and adjustments simply cannot reach. These are the knots you feel but can’t get rid of, the chronic tightness that comes back no matter how often you get worked on, the subtle blockages your body carries from stress, injury, or poor circulation.

That’s where cupping comes in. The suction penetrates deeper layers of tissue, stimulates circulation, drains stagnation, and unlocks energy in a way that massage alone cannot. It’s not just surface relaxation, it’s profound internal release. Those circular marks? They’re proof that your body is actually moving, letting go, and healing itself.

Cupping isn’t comfortable in the traditional sense, it’s transformative. It’s for the people who want real results, who want their bodies to feel lighter, freer, and alive. It’s why athletes, chronic pain patients, and high-stress bodies swear by it.

It looks intense. Some people judge it before they try it. But the truth is simple: hands can relax. Cupping transforms.

If you’ve been stuck, stagnant, or holding tension that won’t budge, it’s time to try something that actually reaches the parts of your body that need it most. Your muscles, your fascia, your energy will thank you.

Stories like this are why I do what I do.

Fertility journeys can be full of monitoring, medication, and uncertainty. So much energy goes outward into appointments, lab results, and timing that many women start to feel disconnected from themselves.

Acupuncture offers a space to return inward. It supports IVF outcomes physiologically by improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, regulating hormones, and reducing stress hormones, but it also helps women feel safe in their bodies again.

The body is not broken. It’s communicating, adapting, and always capable of healing. Sometimes all it needs is the right environment to do what it already knows how to do.

If you’re preparing for IVF or trying to conceive, acupuncture can be one of the most grounding parts of your journey — a reminder to breathe, to trust, and to stay connected through it all. 🌿

What’s actually happening when you get needled 🪡

A sterile acupuncture needle creates a precise micro signal in your body, a tiny invitation for healing. That signal wakes up local tissues, releases natural pain relievers like adenosine, and sends messages through your connective tissue and nervous system that help calm pain, reduce inflammation, and rebalance your whole system.

It’s not magic, it’s physiology. Needling activates sensory nerves that talk to your brain and spinal cord, triggering the release of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine, which down regulate pain and stress responses. Over time, with consistent sessions, your nervous system starts to relearn what calm, balanced, and pain free feels like.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine this is called moving and harmonizing Qi, the flow of life energy that connects every organ and system. Modern research calls it neurochemical and connective tissue signaling. Two languages describing the same truth: your body is wired to heal when it’s given the right signal.

💡 Most people leave treatment feeling lighter, grounded, or deeply relaxed. That is your nervous system shifting gears. Healing happens in those subtle moments of recalibration.

IVF is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make—financially, physically, and emotionally. With each round costing between $10,000 and $50,000, every choice you make matters. What many people don’t realize is that research shows acupuncture can increase IVF success rates by nearly 60%. That’s a huge difference when the stakes are this high.

So how does it work? Acupuncture improves blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, which helps with egg quality and creates a more receptive uterine lining for implantation. It reduces stress and lowers cortisol, which can interfere with hormones and fertility. It supports overall hormone balance, helps regulate the menstrual cycle, and improves the body’s resilience during such an intensive process. In other words, it’s working with your body to maximize your chances of success.

For about $400/month, weekly acupuncture is one of the simplest and most effective ways you can support your IVF journey. If you’re already making the commitment of time, energy, and finances, why not do everything possible to stack the odds in your favor?

IVF can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it unsupported. Acupuncture not only helps increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy, but also helps you feel more grounded, calm, and resilient every step of the way.

✨ PSA: You’re probably not in perimenopause at 35 ✨

Weight gain, hot flashes, and cycle chaos? That’s not early menopause, it’s stress + cortisol imbalance.

Here’s the thing: when your body is stuck in “fight or flight,” cortisol stays sky-high. That throws your cycles, sleep, and mood totally off.

💆‍♀️ Acupuncture helps regulate cortisol.

How? By shifting your nervous system into “rest + digest,” improving blood flow, balancing hormones, and calming the stress response. Studies show acupuncture can lower cortisol levels, reduce stress, and help your body reset.

So before you panic about perimenopause, remember—your adrenals are just screaming for a break.

Acupuncture gives them one. 🫶

👉 Save this for the next time stress symptoms sneak in.

Came in for cramps, PMS, fertility, or hot flashes… left realizing how much your body can heal with just a little support.

One small shif like better sleep or calmer moods quickly snowballs into more energy, clearer thinking, and a stronger sense of yourself.

Acupuncture isn’t just needles; it’s a roadmap to feeling like you again. I’m here to guide you, support you, and celebrate every change along the way. Every session is an invitation to listen, respond, and thrive. Start small, see it grow, and watch your health transform.
