Pregnancy and Postpartum
Perhaps you’ve just recently read your positive home pregnancy test and are wondering about options for safe, effective, and natural health care during your gestation. Maybe you’re already enjoying cuddles and getting to know your new sweet baby while wondering how to improve your energy or ditch some pesky postpartum ailments. Wherever you are in the childbearing process, Chinese and Maya medicine can be an immense support for your body and mind, for prevention of problems, getting to the root of undesirable symptoms, and supporting your body in order to optimize your long term health.
Menopause
Menopause is referred to as a “Second Spring.” It's an opportunity to balance the energies of the body to experience future good health. It's also an opportunity for a rebirth of yourself, for yourself, and is a chance for you to prepare your body, mind, and spirit for a long, healthy life. During this time, you move from the role of caring for others to rediscovering yourself and to sharing the wisdom you’ve gained throughout your life.
Gynecology
Chinese medicine provides a very special insight into menstrual periods and how to optimize them. Every detail of the menstrual cycle is an important indicator of the underlying pattern of imbalance in that individual. All of these details, combined with the signs and symptoms from other systems of the body, including Chinese medicine diagnostic information such as tongue and pulse, allow an experienced Chinese medical women’s health specialist to determine the one specific, underlying pattern of imbalance.
Sleep, Anxiety, and Depression
Sleep, anxiety, depression, or any other mental or emotional concerns may be your main reason for treatment with Stephanie, or may be secondary. Whatever the case, this holistic style of medicine generally results in significant improvement in these areas.
Pain and Injuries
Pain in the body signifies an obstruction to proper flow of energy and blood. This obstruction can be due to a sudden injury, chronic overuse, or persistent tension. Classical Chinese medicine can resolve such pain, as well as reduce likelihood of it happening in the future by optimizing flow of blood and qi (energy).
