Our Approach: A Holistic Path to Hormonal Balance

Regulating Cycles & Ovulation

We support ovulation and menstrual regularity by enhancing thyroid function and restoring harmony between estrogen, progesterone and other hormones. Acupuncture and herbs move stagnant Qi, nourish blood and yin, and help reestablish healthy cycles, especially in cases of irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, delayed ovulation, or anovulation.

PCOS & Thyroid Support

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often presents with insulin resistance, elevated androgens, and irregular cycles. We use acupuncture and herbal medicine to improve insulin sensitivity, support ovulation, and regulate androgens naturally. For both hypo- and hyperthyroidism, acupuncture and herbs can help regulate the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑thyroid axis and support the liver’s detox pathways to optimize hormone detox.

PMS, Perimenopause & Menopause

From disabling cramping, excessive bleeding and mood swings to the intensity of menopausal transitions, acupuncture offers relief. Perimenopause to menopause is a spectrum. These shifts can change gradually or swiftly. Sometimes just a few treatments can make the hormonal transition symptom-free. Treatments address symptoms like breast tenderness, bloating, hot flashes, insomnia, night sweats, and irritability. Herbs, nutrition and lifestyle changes can support adrenal health, regulate temperature, and ease emotional fluctuations during this shift.

Postpartum Hormone Shifts

After childbirth, your body undergoes rapid hormonal changes. Herbs and acupuncture can help stabilize mood, support milk production, and prevent postpartum depression and anxiety. We offer postpartum hormone balancing and help monitor for thyroid shifts such as postpartum thyroiditis. Herbal formulas and nutrient-dense food recommendations help replenish blood and Qi, gently restoring your vitality.

Empowerment Through Education

We believe knowledge is powerful. To better understand your unique hormonal rhythms, we’ll teach you how to track your menstrual cycle using basal body temperature, cervical mucus, and ovulation signs. You’ll also receive personalized recommendations for:
  • Nutrition & supplements
  • Environmental toxin awareness
  • Gentle movement & breathwork
  • Sleep hygiene & nervous system support
Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, easing into perimenopause, or simply seeking better hormonal balance, we empower you to make informed decisions with confidence.

patient PRAISE

I never had cramps my life until a year ago. They were so bad I thought I had endometriosis or something seriously wrong. After undergoing a round of ultrasounds with no abnormalities and an "it is what it is" diagnosis from my OB, I knew I needed a better path forward. After seeing Abby consistently for 2 months, my cramps completely dissipated. I have now been working with Abby for 6 months and I have been cramp free and have had a significant reduction in migraines overall. I couldn't imagine keeping up with my lifestyle as a constantly traveling career gal without her intervention.

Prior to seeing Abby, I had not had a normal period since I was about 15. And when I came to her, I had not menstruated in six months. I got my period about a week after our first session. Ever since, I have gotten my period without fail every 28-30 days.

A few years ago I started feeling more emotional and had more pain before and during my menstrual cycle. I had never had to take painkillers to cope with the pain, but I know so many women who do, so I thought it was normal. Working with Abby has completely removed my pain and mood changes. I can’t tell you how empowering it is to not blame your period for your feelings.

As I approach my mid 50’s, I have begun to have pre-menopausal signs. Sometimes, I came to Abby feeling bloated and concerned that I’ll skip another period. And for each time I came in feeling that way, I left feeling less bloated and I inevitably got my period within a few days after the session. This is great, but the other real win is the ease I am now starting to feel around the shift. Thanks to Abby’s encouragement, I don’t feel much, if any, anxiety leading up to this new phase of life.
