Menstrual Health & Menopause
I help my clients achieve flow and ease in hormonal life.
This includes having peaceful menstrual cycles, the ability to conceive, healthy pregnancy and postpartum periods, a vibrant sexual life, and a smooth perimenopause and menopause transition. I am dedicated to helping clients navigate through these transitions with grace. Reproductive health is my passion. I work with all ages, from late teens into the 70s. I am in my 50’s, am menopausal myself, so understand these transitions personally, as well as from decades of clinical practice. I do also treat men, for general health, pain, and for male factor fertility issues.
Chinese medicine can be used alongside Western medical treatment, including hormone replacement therapy, hormonal birth control, and assisted reproductive techniques. I recognize that you know your body better than anyone, and I aim to support your choices, while doing what I can to help you feel better, and achieve your reproductive life goals.

Already healthy and rocking it?
Let’s keep it going! Regular monthly acupuncture tune-up treatments help keep all systems clicking along. My patients value how good and balanced they feel with ongoing treatment. I have seen my patients through menstrual issues, conception struggles, pregnancies, and menopausal challenges, all while treating various injuries, colds, and health issues that arise along the way.
LGBTQ
I have long treated LGBTQ patients. Cultivating a practice that is welcoming, safe and without judgment for all has always been paramount. I strive to use gender-neutral language, and welcome thoughtful input if I don’t, or if there are other ways I can foster an even more inclusive environment.
“I’ve experienced debilitating menstrual pain where I couldn’t be out of bed for the first two days of my cycle.
After my first visit, and one month of herbal remedies, I felt a profound shift. After 2-3 months of treatment my cycle shifted significantly for the better. Currently, I can work during my menstrual cycle, hormonally I feel more balanced, my general PMS and cramping has drastically decreased. I’m so grateful to Kristi, for her healing work and knowledge.” — Heidi B.
