The western medical quick fix to PCOS and it's many symptoms unfortunately often leaves many women feeling lost and frustrated. My approach focuses on addressing the root cause of your unique PCOS presentation by utilizing a variety of holistic tools to positively impact your health - physically, mentally and emotionally.
How We Begin
During our initial consultation, we dig deep with a complete detailed health history, examining the underlying causes that may currently be contributing to hormonal issues. How you sleep, eat, move, handle stress, digest, and menstruate are all key components to your patterns of hormonal rhythm or dysregulation.
I work closely with my patients to create a customized and dynamic plan that incorporates all relevant and important aspects including stress management, appropriate diet, the right amount of exercise, targeted supplements, Chinese herbal support and regular acupuncture.
In over a decade of specializing in women's health, my practice of Chinese medicine, with its powerful tools for reducing inflammation and benefiting the reproductive organs, has seen great success in a variety of challenging PCOS presentations. We incorporate acupuncture and herbal medicine, as together they have been shown to profoundly effect hormonal balance through mechanisms in the endocrine system and sympathetic nervous system.
In treating women with PCOS, one of the main goals of acupuncture, in addition to hormonal and metabolic support, is to improve hemodynamics, or blood flow, to the ovaries and uterus. This can not only help improve egg quality by nourishing the environment in which those eggs do all of their development and maturation, but reduce the tendency to congestion and inflammation that leads to chronic pelvic pain.
Klara is amazing! I started seeing her in July 2021 for PCOS. I had experienced a lot of weight gain in the past couple years, I was always tired, my period was irregular, and overall I was not very happy with life. Klara created a personalized treatment to help with my specific needs, with lifestyle recommendations, supplements, tinctures, and acupuncture treatments. After seeing her for 1 year, I completed my treatment. I have lost 20 pounds, my sugar cravings have subsided, my period is regular, my mood fluctuations are less severe and less often... The list goes on. Needless to say, Klara changed my life for the better. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she is one of the kindest people I have met. She creates such a comforting and encouraging healing environment. I cannot stop raving about Klara to everyone I know. If you have PCOS, I would highly recommend seeing her.
