Women’s health has always been at the heart of East Asian medicine, and it is at the heart of Julie’s practice. Drawing on more than 20 years as a Licensed Acupuncturist, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Licensed Herbalist, she offers calm, individualized support for fertility (for both partners), pregnancy and labor preparation, postpartum recovery, menstrual concerns, and the perimenopause-to-menopause transition.

The evidence here is nuanced and worth stating plainly: acupuncture and mind-body care may help with stress, sleep, cycle-related discomfort, and quality of life, and are widely used alongside reproductive medicine — but they are supportive, complementary care, not a replacement for your OB-GYN, midwife, or fertility specialist. Julie coordinates with, rather than competes with, your medical team.

Explore the guides below for honest, research-grounded answers to the questions women ask most — and book when you’re ready for care that treats you as a whole person, not a single symptom.

Questions people ask

01Can acupuncture improve my chances of getting pregnant?

Research is mixed and evolving. Some studies suggest acupuncture may support relaxation, blood flow, and quality of life during fertility treatment, and many people use it alongside IVF or IUI. It is best understood as supportive care that may help — not a guaranteed fertility treatment, and not a substitute for a reproductive specialist. Julie works in coordination with your medical team.

02Is acupuncture and massage safe during pregnancy?

For most healthy pregnancies, gentle acupuncture and side-lying prenatal massage are considered safe and are widely used to ease back pain, swelling, and stress — ACOG describes massage as a good way to relax and improve circulation. Certain points and positions are avoided, and some conditions need your provider’s clearance first, so always share your history and any complications.

03Can acupuncture help with perimenopause and menopause symptoms?

Some research suggests acupuncture may help reduce the frequency or intensity of hot flashes and support sleep and mood for some women, though results vary. It is a gentle, low-risk option to explore alongside — not instead of — the guidance of your physician, especially when considering hormone therapy or other medical treatment.

04Do you offer herbal medicine for hormonal and menstrual concerns?

Yes — as a Licensed Herbalist, Julie may incorporate Chinese herbal medicine into a personalized plan. Herbs can interact with medications and are not appropriate in every situation (including some stages of pregnancy), so she screens carefully and coordinates with your medical providers.
