Ease the transition, thrive in the next chapter.

The transition through perimenopause to menopause can be challenging as your body navigates intense fluctuations in hormones. We can help ease this transition by alleviating disruptive symptoms and supporting your body as it adapts and thrives in its new normal.

Acupuncture & Herbs for Perimenopause & Menopause in Wheat Ridge

Making this transition more comfortable.

Perimenopause and menopause bring new changes and new symptoms — sometimes gradually, sometimes all at once. These changes can affect nearly every part of daily life. The goal of our work is straightforward: to help you feel better, sleep better, and move through this transition with your quality of life intact.

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine supports the underlying systems—nervous system, circulation, sleep regulation, hormone metabolism—that drive how your body is responding to the change.

The Role of Classical Chinese Herbal Medicine

We have completed advanced training in classical Chinese herbal medicine for hormonal and menopausal symptoms. Custom herbal formulas are tailored to your needs and adjusted over time as your body responds. They work alongside acupuncture to address the underlying patterns at the root of hot flashes, night sweats, sleep issues, and mood shifts.

A Complement to the Care You Already Have

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine work well alongside alongside treatments you may be receiving from your physician or specialist. If your hormone replacement therapy has left you with some symptoms unaddressed, acupuncture and herbal medicine may be the key to restoring your equilibrium.

We're not here to replace your physician. We're here to add another support for you during this transition. 

What to Expect at Your First Perimenopause or Menopause Appointment

Your first visit is more in-depth than a typical acupuncture intake. We'll go through your full health history, current symptoms, cycle patterns (if you're still cycling), medications, sleep, stress, and the lifestyle factors that influence hormone health. From there, treatment includes acupuncture and, often, a custom herbal formula prescribed specifically for you.

Perimenopause and menopause symptoms typically respond over a series of treatments. Many patients notice meaningful improvement in sleep, hot flashes, or mood within the first few weeks, with deeper changes building over the following months.

Acupuncture for Perimenopause and Menopause is for…

  • Anyone in perimenopause noticing new symptoms or changes in their cycle

  • People dealing with hot flashes, night sweats, or disrupted sleep

  • Patients navigating mood shifts, anxiety, or depression during this transition

  • Anyone experiencing brain fog or fatigue

  • People managing vaginal dryness, low libido, or bladder symptoms

  • Patients on HRT looking for additional symptom support

  • Anyone who can't or prefers not to use hormone replacement therapy
