Gynaecological Health

Period Health - Hormone Health - Gynaecological Health

Your period does NOT have to be painful or uncomfortable.

You do NOT have to exist with tumultuous emotions affecting your everyday life.

You do NOT have to be scared to leave the house because you are afraid you will overflow your protection.

Intercourse does NOT have to be painful.

You do NOT have to live with chronic yeast infections or UTIS.

We are here to provide you with answers and to bring Relief of the symptoms that are so often considered normal.

Our goal is to empower you and your relationship with your gynaecological health.

After finding limited answers surrounding women’s health within the existing medical model we set out to learn everything we could through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

TCM theory specializes in balancing (and understanding!) the intricate fluctuations that drive a woman’s body. Womb related illness is only just now becoming relevant in conventional medicine, yet TCM has been supporting women for a millennia.

Gynaecological problems are one of our favourite things to treat because they respond so well, especially when dedication, patience and time are given.

  • "Hi Christine, I was a patient of yours right before your mat leave, I hope you are well and your time off is much needed and full of excitement! I needed to reach out because I have really amazing news! I started my period this month, 3 days ago, it was a complete SURPRISE to me! I didn’t get any pre-menstrual symptoms. I’ve had absolutely NO pain, and it’s a light-medium flow (almost done actually). I’m beyond happy, I’m so happy I made the decision to start acupuncture, it’s been such a game changer for me. I feel amazing! I needed to thank you and tell you asap <3 I hope to see you again in the future!"

  • "I was having a super hard time around my period, my emotions were daunting to say the least, the "period poops" where horrible, I would miss a day of work. I knew I had one person to call, Christine. She listens to all my concerns and asks me questions so that she could tailor a treatment for me with herbs so that I could have a better time around my period and boy do they work!! I can't believe I waited as long as I did to ask for help. I have also gone to Christine for acupuncture, this past time I got a huge emotional release which I'm not sure what I let go but I definitely needed it. I have gotten acupuncture for physical pain in my shoulder aswell and it works!! I personally don't know how but it does work and I truly believe adding it into your health routine is great if you're able. Just so many benefits to be had!! The space itself is extremely clean and welcoming!! Thank you!!!"
