There’s a silent epidemic sweeping through modern womanhood. We normalize it, pop painkillers, push through meetings, cry in private, and pretend we’re fine. But beneath the surface of PMS rage, hormonal acne, crushing fatigue, fertility struggles, and menstrual irregularity… something deeper is speaking.


Woman in a floral dress dances joyfully on a calm beach under a tree. Waves gently touch her feet, creating a serene atmosphere.

It’s not just “hormones.” It’s your womb, calling you back to yourself.


As a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and a womb healer walking between two worlds, the clinical and the mystical, I’ve come to see hormonal imbalance not as the problem, but as a messenger. A sacred flare from the depths of your feminine body saying, “There’s a rhythm you’ve forgotten. And it’s time to remember.”


The root of hormonal chaos? A disconnected womb


In Chinese medicine, we don’t separate the physical form from the emotional or spiritual. The uterus, or 'bao gong', is seen as a spiritual organ, a vessel of creation and wisdom. It is connected not just to the reproductive system, but to the heart, liver, kidneys, and your ancestral line.


When there’s too much heat in the Liver, we see PMS, mood swings, and migraines. When the Spleen is weak, we see spotting, fatigue, and poor digestion. Cold in the womb leads to painful periods and infertility. And when Qi stagnates, the blood stops flowing, and with it, your creative life force.


Most women I work with don’t just want symptom relief. They want their power back.


They’re tired of being handed a birth control pill or told their labs are “normal” when their body is clearly crying out. They’re looking for a deeper kind of healing, one that honours their body’s wisdom, not overrides it.


A new (ancient) way: Returning to cyclical harmony


Chinese medicine offers a map. A map not just to treat symptoms, but to restore flow.

Through personalized herbal medicine, acupuncture, womb massage, and spirit-level work, we guide the body back into its natural rhythm.


But here’s the truth: this isn’t just about better periods.


This is about reclaiming your body as sacred.


In my practice, I merge the clinical precision of Chinese medicine with the spiritual practice of womb awakening. This includes working with the Extraordinary Vessels, the rivers of destiny that govern our hormonal and emotional tides. Through spiritual acupuncture, we not only balance the body but also open gateways to soul remembrance.


Your body is not broken. She’s speaking


Whether you’re struggling with hormonal hell, fertility challenges, endometriosis, or just feel off, know this:


Your womb holds memory.


She also holds the medicine.


You don’t have to walk this path alone.


Ready to begin your healing journey?


If you’re ready to move from hormonal chaos to cyclical harmony, I invite you to take my free Womb Quiz to discover your unique womb type according to Chinese medicine and receive guidance to restore balance naturally.


This isn’t just about physical health. It’s about reconnection.

With your body. Your rhythm. Your magic.



Next steps on the healing path


Once you discover your womb type, you’ll receive custom guidance straight to your inbox. If you are ready to go deeper, I offer:


A Womb Medicine Bundle: self-paced teachings, rituals, and womb care designed for your specific type, whether you are dealing with cold, heat, dampness, stagnation, or deep vitality.


And for those who are truly ready to transform their relationship with their body and feminine essence, I offer a limited number of 1:1 Womb Mentorships, where we blend clinical diagnostics, body-mind reconnection, and soul-level healing.


Sister, your womb is not broken. She’s waiting to be heard, held, and honoured.


Take the first step today. Take the quiz. Begin the reconnection!


Because your cycle isn’t a curse. It’s your compass home.
