Acupuncture for Hormone Balance

Do you turn into a different person one week of the month? Are your hot flashes and night sweats interfering with your life? Is your post-partum journey proving to be a struggle with insomnia, anxiety or depression? Imagine being free from physical and emotional discomfort every month or as you enter a wiser more audacious phase of your life. You don’t need to continue suffering through the physical and emotional discomforts that accompany Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), peri-menopause, menopause and the post-partum experience.

Our hormones are impacted by our age, genetics, stress level, our lifestyle and diet. Modern society has us moving at a fast pace. We as women show up in our careers, families and communities to lead and boldly craft the lives that we want. With this showing up in the world, we participate in it:  working late to meet deadlines, staying up with sick children, having a cocktail at a networking event, or grabbing pizza with a friend. Some of it is required and non-negotiable and all of it contributes to our hormone imbalances.

I have had successful treatments for everything from a crick in my neck, modifying monthly hormonal cycle stuff, to reversing general low energy. I am always amazed that my sessions with Marie are so magically effective.

Not only do I support my patients with acupuncture and herbal medicine, I also look at each patient holistically. How are all body systems functioning? What are the diet and lifestyle contributions? What is the role of stress on your hormone imbalances? I consider the whole person, mind, body and spirit when treating any complaint. In addition to acupuncture, I prescribe herbal formulas and diet and lifestyle therapy to help to make shifts in your health and create a shift in your experience.

I offer a deep knowledge and experience with women’s health, including Western Gynecology, Traditional Chinese Medicine Gynecology, internships in women’s health and fertility clinics and post-graduate training in treating women’s health and fertility. I focus on supporting women dealing with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Cycle Irregularities and Menopause. 

Now almost seven months pregnant, I feel fortunate to have Marie on my health support team during this important time in my life. I have no doubt she’s contributed in a major way to the ease with which I’ve experienced my first pregnancy. I look forward to not only her invaluable care, but as well, her warm and caring nature. She’s improved my quality life. I can’t recommend Marie enough!
