Stress & Anxiety
Acupuncture can be a helpful tool for managing stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and restoring balance to the body’s energy flow. It can help in many ways, including by:
Stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system: Acupuncture can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the “rest and digest” functions of the body. This helps reduce the fight-or-flight response triggered by stress, lowering heart rate and blood pressure, and promoting deep relaxation.
Balancing neurotransmitters: Acupuncture has been shown to influence the levels of certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and endorphins, which are involved in mood regulation. By balancing these chemicals, acupuncture may help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, improving overall emotional well-being.
Reducing physical symptoms of stress: Acupuncture can help relax the muscles and improve circulation, reducing the physical manifestations of stress and promoting a sense of physical ease.
Improving sleep: Chronic stress and anxiety often interfere with sleep patterns. Acupuncture can help regulate sleep by addressing imbalances in the body and promoting relaxation, which can lead to better quality sleep and reduced symptoms of insomnia.
Encouraging emotional balance: In TCM, emotional health is closely linked to physical health. Acupuncture aims to balance the body’s internal energy, helping to stabilize emotions, reduce mood swings, and alleviate anxiety.

We may suggest things like acupuncture, herbal supplements, and easy lifestyle changes to help you balance your hormones naturally.

Are you dealing with perimenopause, menopause, adrenal fatigue, thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, or digestive problems? We identify the root causes of your hormonal imbalances and help restore balance throughout your body. With our support, this balanced state can become your new normal. We also are happy to collaborate with your Western medical provider, to enhance the effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy.

Our goal is to guide your body back into balance, as it naturally desires to be healthy, balanced, and thriving. We help remind it how to get there and provide you with simple steps to maintain your well-being.
We remind your body how to be in balance.
Our bodies are naturally wise and aim for efficiency. We pinpoint exactly where imbalances occur and systematically address them. Are you experiencing hot flashes or night sweats? We can help you achieve a restful night’s sleep. Struggling with brain fog or fatigue? We assist in rebooting and re-energizing your system. Dealing with acne or digestive issues? We work to clear your elimination pathways, promoting balance and clearer skin. Experiencing low testosterone or a reduced libido? We support your adrenal health to restore energy and vitality. Regardless of the cause of your hormone imbalance, we provide effective natural solutions.
Our approach always includes lifestyle recommendations.
We meet each patient at their current stage in their health journey and provide tailored recommendations accordingly. Sometimes, this involves suggesting a short meditation break. Other times, it might mean making small lifestyle changes or dietary adjustments. Occasionally, we focus on helping you get a bit more sleep. Our goal is for you to feel good in your body and in your life, and we offer tools to help you reach that goal more quickly.
We focus on how you feel, not just on what the lab reports show.
In the realm of hormone imbalance, there is an important aspect involving numbers. It’s about staying within specific ranges and optimizing those figures. While we help you achieve those goals, we also prioritize how you feel. Your body is not just a machine; it is a vessel for your wonderful self. We treat the whole person, not just the numbers. Ultimately, the true measure of success lies in how you feel—how well you sleep and how you navigate your day.

Herbal Supplements
Herbal supplements can nourish, harmonize, and cleanse the body to achieve balance. This approach is crucial for regulating hormones. At times, we may need to focus on clearing, while other times we might need to provide support; often, both are necessary. Herbal medicine is especially effective for addressing hormone imbalances and restoring the body to optimal functioning.
Nutrition
When your tissues receive the specific nutrients they need, they function optimally. This high level of tissue performance enhances hormone balance. We offer specialized, straightforward dietary recommendations for all our patients dealing with hormone imbalances.
Relaxation & Stress Reduction
When your body is relaxed, it has the opportunity to repair itself at a fundamental level. In this state, your tissues, muscles, bones, and nerves become more synchronized and calm, creating an ideal environment for health and healing. As a result, you may experience reduced inflammation, improved circulation, balanced hormones, a calmer mind, increased energy, and an overall better mood.
