I have a particular interest in helping people who are dealing with chronic stress and associated problems such as migraines, insomnia, anxiety and hormone imbalance.
In TCM, quality sleep allows the body to restore blood, regulate the nervous system and support emotional balance.
Tip: aim for a consistent bedtime and reduce stimulation after 9pm.

🌸 Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life, signaling the end of menstrual cycles, typically occurring between ages 45-55. It's caused by a drop in hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
Menopause is a new beginning, not an end. 💪#MenopauseAwareness #NewBeginnings #HealthyAging

Multiple studies have found that a series of #acupuncture treatments (typically 2-3 visits per week for 8-10 weeks) can have reduce both frequency and intensity of #migraine headaches. These results last for months after treatment stops.
