‍ Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for Fertility, Pregnancy, and Women’s Health

My Journey to Integrative Women’s Healthcare

For more than four decades, my life’s work has been devoted to nurturing and supporting women and families through their most cherished and significant life experiences.

I began my career as a Certified Nurse-Midwife, supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and reproductive healthcare. Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping build Nurse-Midwifery programs, educating future healthcare professionals, and caring for women in diverse clinical settings.

As my practice evolved, I became increasingly interested in the ways Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine could complement conventional healthcare. I saw how an integrative approach could provide additional support for fertility, pregnancy, postpartum care, women’s health, and overall well-being. Each experience reinforced a simple truth- healing is about more than treating a diagnosis-it is about caring for the whole person.

As I listened to my patients’ stories, I wanted to offer even more support, especially to those facing fertility challenges, pregnancy, and the many transitions of women’s lives.

That calling led me to become a Doctor of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, allowing me to combine two lifelong passions: evidence-informed women’s healthcare and the time-honored principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

My vision is simple: to listen carefully, understand your unique story, and provide compassionate, individualized care that supports your health and wellness.

Experience matters.  Compassion matters.  Listening matters. Every patient deserves both.

I believe healing begins with listening.  Every patient has a story, and it is my privilege to be part of yours.

I did not leave one profession for another.  I brought them together.
