I am passionate about empowering you with treatment options
and supporting you on your path to vibrant health.

Acupuncture vs. Hormone Therapy

Acupuncture can be used as a natural alternative, or as an adjunct, to hormone therapy (HT).

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is right for you if you prefer:

• natural, hormone-free treatment
  
• treatment without major risks or side effects
  
• personalized medicine
  
• relief of both physical and emotional symptoms
• a time-tested approach for self-healing
• deep relaxation and greater energy

Acupuncture & HT

Whether as a natural alternative or a safe adjunct, acupuncture is a powerful treatment option for you if you are on HT, but:

• your symptoms aren't sufficiently controlled
  
• you're experiencing side effects
  
• you're concerned about risks
  
• you'd like to stop, but still need symptom relief
  

Our understanding of the risks and benefits of HT is constantly expanding.
For women who choose HT, the current standard of care is
to use the smallest dose possible for the shortest amount of time possible.
Now, more than ever, it is essential for women to know we have more options.
