At The Pelvic Acu, our mission is to empower acupuncturists to successfully and sustainably support clients with pelvic health conditions.

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.

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.

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.

Since our launch in July 2024, some amazing things have happened! Let’s take a walk down memory lane. We are so grateful for these amazing opportunities!
