Customized Nutrition Plans to Address Your Unique Health Needs
Conditions We Treat
Hormonal Imbalances
Chinese herbal medicine offers a powerful and safe holistic approach to supporting the reproductive system. It is commonly used for people trying to conceive, people who have fertility issues, and those who have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss.
Chronic Inflammation
Digestive Health
Chinese medicine plays a significant role in pain management by addressing the root causes of discomfort rather than merely alleviating symptoms. Through the use of carefully selected herbs, it aims to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and restore the body’s balance.
Autoimmune Disease
Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis, can be difficult to manage. Functional nutrition can help support the body’s natural healing processes and reduce inflammation.
Fertility
Chinese herbal medicine and targeted nutrition work together to support reproductive wellness and increase chances of pregnancy. This powerful combination can help regulate cycles, boost vitality, and create the best conditions for conception.
Chronic Fatigue
Chronic fatigue can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor nutrition, hormonal imbalances, and underlying health conditions. Functional nutrition can help support energy levels, restore balance, and improve overall health.
Food Is Medicine.
All day, every day you make choices about what you put in your body: This food is healthy, that food is not. Drink more water, drink less coffee. One more brownie at the office party. Juice fast before the reunion.
There are all kinds of rules, systems and diets out there that make claims that if you follow them, all of your health issues will magically disappear. The problem with these diets is that
- they tend to be incredibly restrictive and therefore hard to stick with, and
- there is no diet that is right for Everyone.
Sugar, wheat, dairy, meat — all have been called The Most Dangerous Food by different health professionals. You are looking for answers, for the magic bullet. So you follow the diets out there, along with their hard and fast, all or none, good or bad categories.
That is not my method. Food is medicine.
Eating the right food can be the difference between life or death. It can be the difference between horrible digestive disorders and feeling good. It can be the difference between an active autoimmune disease and one in remission. Heart disease or health.
Food is medicine and eating the right or wrong food can make a dramatic difference in your health, but it isn’t as simple as a prescription. You can’t just spend your life dividing food into “eat” and “don’t eat.” You can’t just follow the rules that worked for your sister or your friend or the person in the magazine. You need to eat the food that works for you.
As your health evolves, so will your treatment plan. The goal is to get you back to a place of health, happiness and well being!

Testimonials
Erin brings a vast knowledge of fertility and reproductive concerns to her practice, as well as an experienced and comfortable command of Chinese Medicine. She has an uncanny gift for sensing and identifying just the right points and her application of needles is gentle. She brings a warmth and engagement to her appointments and throughout the course of my treatment we have tackled sleep issues, pain from old injuries, stress, and anxiety. I very much look forward to every appointment and feel, as a whole, far more educated, confident in the process, and in touch with myself than when I started. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Erin is a magician and true miracle worker. I had read about acupuncture being able to improve fertility outcomes so I decided to do a consultation with Erin. She is thorough, kind, supportive, optimistic, and provides a thoughtful, personalized care plan to support desired patient outcomes. I have been thrilled with the results and added benefits like improving my energy and stress levels. I always know that I will leave treatment feeling better than when I came in and feel so lucky to have found Erin. I highly recommend her and her team.
