Reproductive & Hormonal Health Care

Our bodies go through so many changes over the course of a lifetime—from the first menstrual cycle to pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and everything in between. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can be wonderful tools for supporting you through these transitions and helping you feel more at home in your body. At Heartwood, I offer personalized care for reproductive and hormonal health at every stage of life.

Chinese medicine has supported reproductive health for thousands of years, and it offers a different way of looking at the body—one that considers the whole person, not just a collection of symptoms. Acupuncture can be a helpful part of care for a wide range of menstrual, hormonal, and reproductive concerns, supporting the body’s natural processes and helping bring things back into balance.

Care is available for people with ovaries and a uterus, regardless of gender identity.

  • Menstrual Health

    Your period can tell you a lot about what’s going on in your body. You’re not meant to spend each month working around painful or difficult symptoms. PMS, heavy or painful periods, missed or irregular cycles, digestive changes, fatigue, and other symptoms can all affect your work, relationships, and quality of life.

    With acupuncture and herbal medicine, we look at your cycle as part of the bigger picture and work together to support more regular, comfortable periods and a greater sense of balance and ease.

    Acupuncture and Chinese medicine may also be helpful in supporting people with PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory conditions, and other menstrual or reproductive concerns.

  • Fertility

    Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can offer gentle, personalized support while you're trying to conceive. Care may help support circulation, regulate the menstrual cycle, and create a more supportive environment for reproductive health. Whether you're trying to conceive on your own or alongside fertility treatment, we can work together to support your body through the process.

  • Pregnancy Support

    Pregnancy is a time of profound change, and while many symptoms are considered a normal part of pregnancy, you don't have to simply suffer through them. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can offer gentle support throughout pregnancy, helping ease common concerns like nausea, fatigue, pain, anxiety, swelling, sleep difficulties, and more.

    Together, we can support your body as it changes and help you feel more comfortable, grounded, and prepared for birth.

  • Postpartum Care

    The postpartum period is a time to rest, recover, and replenish after birth. Chinese medicine has long emphasized nourishment and gentle support during this period, helping the body recover while addressing common postpartum concerns such as fatigue, mood changes, hormonal shifts, constipation, sleep difficulties, and lactation concerns.

    This is a time when you deserve care, too—not just care for your new baby.

  • Menopause Wellness

    In Chinese medicine, menopause is sometimes called the “Second Spring”—a time of transition that can also be a time of growth, self-discovery, and renewed attention to your own well-being.

    For some people, menopause comes with symptoms that can make everyday life harder, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, insomnia, brain fog, and aches and pains. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can offer personalized support to help ease symptoms and help you feel more comfortable and grounded as your body moves through this transition.

    Your Second Spring can be a time to come back to yourself, too.

  • “I originally sought acupuncture because I was experiencing intense stomach and pelvic pain, emotional imbalances, and extremely difficult menstrual cycles. My periods were very heavy, often lasted seven days or longer, and the pain and PMS were sometimes so severe that they caused me to vomit. After multiple hospital visits, I still didn't have answers or relief. From my very first appointment, Tylre was compassionate, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me understand what was happening with my body. She provided thoughtful acupuncture treatments, personalized herbal recommendations, and practical self-care that I could incorporate into my daily life. Over the course of my treatment, my periods have become shorter, my cramps are now minimal, and my cycles are much more manageable. These improvements have made a significant difference in my quality of life. Tylre's compassion, knowledge, and holistic approach have made a lasting impact on my life. If you're looking for an acupuncturist who truly listens, takes the time to understand your concerns, and genuinely cares about your well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

  • “I wish every expecting mom could experience the kind of prenatal and postpartum care I received from Tylre. Throughout my pregnancy and postpartum recovery, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine provided relief in several ways when nothing else could. I experienced daily pregnancy headaches for the first several months, and after just one session with Tylre they drastically reduced. After a second treatment, they disappeared entirely for the rest of my pregnancy. Acupuncture also supported me through severe pain from a degenerating fibroid and my recovery after a C-section. Tylre’s care transformed my entire pregnancy experience from one of potential discomfort to one of strength, ease, and comfort.”

    —Heartwood Client

  • “I’ve always had difficult periods involving heavy flow, painful and often debilitating cramping, mood swings, energy fluctuations, and acne. During my perimenopausal years, these symptoms worsened to the point where every stage of my cycle had become uncomfortable or difficult. From my first session with Tylre, my periods were different—lighter flow, minimal cramping, with my mood and energy becoming more steady. Five months later, there has been no recurrence of my former symptoms. Most significantly, my energy has become much more consistent throughout my cycle, a vast improvement in my daily life. I’m so grateful to Tylre, a compassionate and gentle healer who is curious, caring, and thorough in her treatment. I so appreciate that her approach has not only addressed the symptoms I came in for, but supported my whole body.”
