Exploring Pelvic Health Tools: A Guide for Practitioners
Pelvic health is often overlooked, yet it impacts so many aspects of overall wellness — from sexual function and reproductive health to emotional wellbeing and quality of life. In this blog, we’re exploring a variety of pelvic health tools that can support healing, extend treatment beyond the clinic, and give patients practical ways to care for themselves at home.
Upcoming Pelvic Care Practicals for Acupuncturists
At The Pelvic Acu, we are dedicated to helping acupuncturists expand their skills and bring vital pelvic health care into their practice.

Are We in Fear Mode as Acupuncturists?
I have the pleasure of teaching around the country and interacting with acupuncturists on a daily basis. I hear success stories, major milestones, transformations—and lately, a resounding sense of fear. This fear stems from so many questions about our collective identity as acupuncturists. With a good number of acupuncture schools closing their doors, it makes sense that we have a lot of questions.
Understanding the Vaginal Microbiome: An Acupuncturist’s Perspective
At The Pelvic Acu, our mission is to empower acupuncturists to successfully and sustainably support clients with pelvic health conditions. Sustainable care means more than short-term relief—it means helping clients experience long-lasting improvements in their pelvic health across every season of life. One important piece of that work is understanding the vaginal microbiome—a complex and dynamic ecosystem that plays a key role in reproductive, urinary, and overall pelvic health.

QIOLOGICAL E396 - ROOT AND POWER-ATTENDING TO THE PELVIS
The body holds experience in layers—some are structural, some energetic, and others deeply emotional. Nowhere is this more evident than in the pelvis, a place of both power and vulnerability, stability and flow. It’s the root of movement, the center of balance, and a space where emotions and history are stored, often in ways we don’t fully recognize.
The Pelvic Acu Featured on the Acupuncture Marketing School Podcast
I am excited to share that I was recently featured on the Acupuncture Marketing School podcast which is hosted by the amazing Michelle Grasek!

My Why: A Journey into Pelvic Health
Since 2009, I’ve been on a transformative journey—a journey rooted in bringing Pelvic Care to Acupuncturists. What began as a seedling of an idea has blossomed into a mission to empower practitioners to address pelvic health challenges at their core. 🌱I teach pelvic health to acupuncturists because I believe we are uniquely positioned to treat not just the symptoms of dysfunction but its true source. This means addressing the physical, emotional, and energetic patterns that underlie pelvic health challenges.✨ My journey to this understanding has been deeply personal and profoundly transformative.
