Hormonal health
Support through every stage
Hormonal changes can affect sleep, mood, energy and comfort for months or years. Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at these symptoms together and treats the pattern behind them, not just one complaint at a time.
Your practitioner will ask about your cycle, sleep, energy, digestion and stress, then combine acupuncture, herbal formulas and practical lifestyle guidance into a plan that is reviewed as you progress.
We can support you with
- Perimenopause
- Menopause symptoms
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Sleep problems
- Mood changes & irritability
- Fatigue & low energy
- Stress & anxiety
- Irregular or painful periods
- Hormonal balance
Individual responses vary. TCM is used alongside — not instead of — care from your doctor. If you have new or unusual symptoms, please see your doctor first.
How we treat

Can I have TCM while taking hormone therapy (HRT)?
Many people do. Tell your practitioner about hormone therapy and any other medications or supplements, so acupuncture and herbal formulas can be chosen safely. TCM works alongside — not instead of — care from your doctor.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your symptoms and how you respond. Your practitioner will suggest a plan at your first visit and review it at each follow-up.
Is it covered by insurance?
Acupuncture is covered by many extended health plans, and we direct bill most major providers. Coverage for herbal medicine varies by plan, so please check with your insurer.
Does acupuncture hurt?
It’s a common misconception that acupuncture is very painful — it isn’t. Our acupuncturists are highly skilled in the placement of needles, both in location and pressure, and we offer gentle styles such as superficial needling if you’re new or sensitive. Just let us know your preferences.
