Women’s Wellness
Jeannie has a passion for women’s health that began with her own family history, having grown up hearing stories of her own mother’s difficulty conceiving. Through her studies of Chinese medicine since 2000, Jeannie came to appreciate the importance of menstrual health for overall wellbeing. She supports women throughout their reproductive life, from hormone and cycle regulation, to fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum care, through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Jeannie is a Fellow of the Acupuncture and TCM Board for Reproductive Medicine, demonstrating expertise in both Western and Chinese reproductive medicine and is a candidate in the Institute for Functional Medicine, the most rigorous functional medicine program.
Jeannie has extensive experience and knowledgein treating reproductive conditions such as:
- Perimenopause and menopause symptoms
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Endometriosis
- Dysmenorrhea (painful periods)
Digestive & Autoimmune Support
Jeannie’s empathetic approach to helping patients with digestive and autoimmune issues is informed by her own journey to wellness. For more than a decade, she stems from her personal struggle with Hashimoto’s disease and eosinophilic esophagitis. Refusing to accept a dire prognosis (she was literally told her condition “would only get worse”), she successfully overcame her health challenges by combining nutrition, supplements, herbs, meditation, acupuncture, and bodywork.
Jeannie is dedicated to helping her patients understand that healing is possible and to guiding them on their path to wellness.
