Acupuncture & East Asian Medicine for Women’s Reproductive Health & Wellness

Honor your feminine flow and reconnect to the lost wisdom of nature’s cycles to heal your body, mind, and spirit from within.

Hello friend,

Do you have painful periods with symptoms that sometimes feel unbearable?

Does your cycle seem “off” leaving you feeling completely out of rhythm?

Are you seeking to understand and balance your hormones?

I see you. You don’t have to go through this alone anymore.

Helping You Go with the Flow…

Whether you’ve just gotten your first period, you’re struggling with painful period symptoms that seem beyond help, you need help starting, maintaining or coming off hormonal birth control… Or you simply want to attune to your cyclical nature to optimize your menstrual and reproductive health…

Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine can bring genuine healing and relief from your unpleasant hormonal and period issues… So that you can blossom and thrive during every season in your reproductive cycle. 

Together, we’ll tap into your feminine flow and the timeless, restorative practices of East Asian Medicine to reclaim your health, balance your menstrual cycle, and resolve your painful period symptoms.

You’re in the right place if you experience:

  • Painful, heavy or irregular periods

  • PMS or PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder)

  • Missing periods, very light, or short periods

  • Recurring yeast infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs)

  • PCOS

  • Endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids

  • Moodiness, irritability, stress, anxiety, and depression

  • Low sex drive

  • Headaches

  • Hair loss and acne

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Digestive issues

With the right tools, our menses can be a beautiful rite of passage into a new month filled with creative possibilities… Instead of the resented curse and feared taboo that Western culture has made it to be.

Let’s honor your feminine cycles. 

With acupuncture and East Asian Medicine, women across cultures have found ways not only to cope with the physical discomfort and emotional upheaval that often accompanies our menses… But to finally make sense of their monthly hormonal shifts (and completely transform their reproductive health in the process!).

No matter where you’re at on your health journey, I’d love to help you honor and embrace the natural shifts and the organic ebbs and flows of your feminine cycle. So that you can feel at ease in your skin, confident in your wellness journey, and joyful to start each day anew.

I’ve supported thousands of women in being able to:

  • Banish unpleasant PMS symptoms

  • Get rid of fatigue and brain fog

  • Heal PCOS and other reproductive conditions

  • Feel more centered, balanced, and joyful

  • Embrace the natural fluidity of their monthly cycle

  • Become pregnant after years of struggling

Let’s work together to resolve your menstrual issues and restore a healthy balance to your feminine cycle, body, mind, and spirit.

Testimonials

  • "I have been working with Maureen for nearly four months. She is a pleasure to work with as I pursue better health for myself. She is a great listener, and conscientious practitioner, using each visit to target the areas of health that I am focused on. I have seen and felt increased wellness, and symptoms that were troubling me have been resolved as the result of Maureen's treatments. She came highly recommended by close friends, and I would offer that same recommendation to others."

  • "Maureen is a gift and I am grateful to have found her. Her presence is warm and her approach feels just right — she is professional with a gentle, thoughtful, mindful way of tending to the whole body. Maureen has helped me find a regular, fertile ovulation cycle after nearly 20 years of being on birth control pills. Now that my cycle is regular again I continue to see her as it feels very nourishing. She always addresses whatever I arrive with beautifully. Highly recommend Maureen! xo"

  • "Maureen is such a wonderful, calm, and relaxed professional. I drive all the way from Edmonds in traffic, just to see her and receive treatment! Maureen has a calming presence, listens attentively, checks in thoroughly during each session, and explains her thought process clearly. I come out from my session feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated - the effects are lasting for days. She has been so kind to me during periods of loss and really helped me through, I would highly recommend seeing Maureen!!"

  • "Whatever I bring to Maureen's attention — stress, allergies, physical injuries, PMS — is greeted with genuine caring and capable treatment. Maureen follows up on issues from previous visits. In short, I feel healthier having Maureen on my health care team."

  • "I was a little nervous about my first acupuncture visit, but I am now hooked! I had so much energy afterwards. Maureen is just wonderful. She takes time to understand your personal background, needs, and goals. Cannot wait to come back!"

  • "This is the best place for Acupuncture! I've used Full Bloom for years. She's keeping me healthy. It's not a quick fix like Dr's. Keep coming back."

Why trust me to guide you?

I’ve been there!

I personally spent years dealing with painful, debilitating periods. Like many other women, I started taking oral contraceptives after my doctor told me it would resolve my symptoms. But the pill just wreaked more havoc on my body and ultimately wasn’t the right solution for me.

Deep down I knew that struggling to get through my period each and every month wasn’t “normal.” That needing medication and time off from school/work wasn’t “normal.”

I thought I was alone. And it was on my desperate quest for answers that I found true healing in acupuncture and East Asian Medicine.

I was so very grateful to finally experience some relief from my painful periods. To learn that my symptoms weren’t just in my head. To reconnect with the lost wisdom in my body so that I could honor and celebrate my monthly menses. And I can help you do that too!

I’d love to guide, support, and empower you on your healing journey.

Are you ready to tackle your PMS and period problems?

You shouldn’t have to dread your time of the month. You don’t have to keep living with your period problems forever. Dismissive doctors and drugs aren’t your only options.

I’d be honored to guide you along your healing path to help you get to the root cause of your symptoms. So that you can learn how to stop fighting against your body and become empowered to live in harmony with your feminine cycle.

Let’s get to know your unique flow and body’s rhythms.

FAQs

  • Effective 4/3/23, Washington State Department of Health will end the mask mandate in health care settings. It will be a personal choice to continue wearing a mask at your appointment or not.

  • $165 New Patient Exam, Acupuncture Treatment and/or Herbal Consultation

    $110 Established Patient Acupuncture Treatment and/or Herbal Follow Up Consultation

    All herbal supplements are charged separately.

  • I accept payment by cash, check or credit/debit card. There is a $35.00 fee for a bounced check and only one occurrence is permitted. If a second check bounces, I will require cash-only payment from then on.

  • If you are unable to keep your appointment for any reason, I ask that you call my office at least 24 hours in advance to cancel or reschedule the appointment. Otherwise you will be charged the full fee for the missed appointment. If you are 20 or more minutes late, your appointment will be canceled and you will be charged for the reserved appointment time.

  • I currently do not bill insurance directly. I am an out-of-network provider and can offer a superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

    Most insurance plans have out-of-network coverage which allow you to get reimbursed for treatment. For some plans, the benefits for in or out-of-network providers are exactly the same. The best thing to do is call your insurance company and ask what your out-of-network acupuncture benefits are and how to submit a claim for reimbursement. Often this can be done easily online.

    This patient-centered approach allows me to design treatment based on your individual goals and needs as well as spend more one-on-one time with you.

    Payment is due at the time of service.
