Women's Health
Care Across Cycles, Transitions, and Life Stages
Women’s health is not one condition or phase—it’s a continuum. Hormones, cycles, nervous system health, and life transitions all shape how the body feels and functions over time.
At ECHO, women’s health care is rooted in East Asian Medicine and guided by careful listening. Treatment supports the whole system—working with rhythms rather than overriding them—whether you’re preparing for conception, navigating pregnancy, adjusting to hormonal transitions, or seeking steadier balance month to month.
This is care designed to meet you where you are, without pressure to “fix” or rush the process.
How We Approach Women's Health
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, care focuses on the patterns beneath them—how circulation, digestion, hormones, stress, and the nervous system interact across different stages of life.
Support may include:
-
Acupuncture to regulate circulation, support hormonal balance, and calm the nervous system
-
Herbal medicine when appropriate, tailored to your constitution and current phase
-
Thoughtful assessment that adapts as your body changes
-
Gentle guidance to support rhythms without overwhelm
Care evolves as your needs evolve.

Pregnancy Care
Gentle, supportive care during pregnancy, including support for nausea, fatigue, pain, sleep changes, emotional shifts, and preparation for birth.
A Phase-Responsive Approach
Hormonal health, fertility, and pregnancy are shaped by timing—within the menstrual cycle, across life stages, and through periods of change. Care here is designed to respond to where your body is now, not where it’s “supposed” to be.
Some people come seeking support for cycle-related symptoms or hormonal transition. Others are preparing for pregnancy, navigating fertility care, or adjusting to the physical and emotional shifts of pregnancy itself. Care unfolds over time, adapting as patterns shift and stabilize.
The goal is not to force outcomes or chase quick fixes, but to support regulation, resilience, and steadiness—so the body can meet each phase with greater ease.
