Perimenopause & Menopause Support

A new phase deserves a new kind of care - Restoring balance, vitality, and ease through holistic care

Perimenopause and menopause are profound transitions — not declines. Your hormones are shifting, but this chapter can bring strength, clarity, and renewal when your body is supported. Through acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and targeted lifestyle strategies, I help women move through this phase with calm, confidence, and lasting energy.

Understanding the transition

Perimenopause marks the gradual hormonal shift leading up to menopause — a transition that can last anywhere from four to ten years, depending on your body’s natural rhythm. During this time, estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate, and over time, both estrogen and testosterone gradually decline.

These changes can bring symptoms such as hot flashes, disrupted sleep, mood shifts, and changes in metabolism, skin, or libido. But this isn’t a stage you simply have to push through. With the right support, your body can adapt more smoothly — reducing symptoms, improving energy and sleep, and helping you feel balanced and grounded through this transition.

My approach

Every woman’s experience is different — which is why your plan is individualized and rooted in both modern insight and holistic care.

  • Acupuncture promotes hormone balance, reduces hot flashes and night sweats, calms the mind, and supports restorative sleep.
  • Herbal medicine offers gentle, targeted support to regulate hormones, improve circulation, and ease mood and temperature fluctuations.
  • Lifestyle & nutrition guidance provides practical, phase-specific shifts in diet, movement, and daily rhythm to help you feel steady and strong.

Common symptoms I support

  • Hot flashes / night sweats / temperature changes
  • Insomnia, anxiety, brain fog, mood changes
  • Vaginal dryness, urinary changes, low libido
  • Weight gain, joint pain, fatigue
  • Irregular or disappearing cycles

You don’t have to wait for symptoms to worsen. Early support during perimenopause can smooth your transition into menopause and strengthen long-term health.

What to expect

We begin with a detailed consultation — exploring menstrual and hormone history, sleep, mood, energy, and digestion — to identify the root causes of imbalance. Your treatment plan combines acupuncture sessions, customized herbal formulas, and personalized lifestyle recommendations to support your body’s rhythm. Most women notice gradual yet meaningful improvements in sleep, mood, and thermal regulation within the first few weeks or months.

Take the next step

You don’t have to navigate this transition alone — and you don’t have to settle for feeling “off.” Book an Appointment to begin restoring balance and vitality for the years ahead.

Common Questions: Perimenopause and Menopause Treatment

Can I combine this with hormone therapy?

Yes. Acupuncture and herbs complement HRT or bioidentical therapy beautifully, helping the body adapt and respond more smoothly.

When will I notice changes?

Many patients begin to feel improvement within a few weeks; deeper, lasting balance typically develops over 2–3 months of consistent care.

Does it replace medical care?

No — it works alongside it. If you’re addressing bone density, cardiovascular, or metabolic changes, we collaborate with your existing providers for a fully integrated plan.

Can I still get pregnant during perimenopause?

Yes — pregnancy remains possible during perimenopause, as hormonal shifts can still trigger ovulation at various points, even when your cycle pattern begins to fluctuate.

Supporting your hormonal balance, egg quality, and cycle regulation during perimenopause can improve your overall well-being and help preserve fertility potential for as long as possible.

As a fertility specialist, I often help women in their forties navigate this unique stage — whether their goal is conception or simply feeling balanced through the transition. Understanding your individual hormonal landscape allows us to create a plan that aligns with your intentions and brings peace of mind every step of the way.
