As an established patient, we’ll continue working together through comprehensive treatments (60–75 minutes) designed to support your unique needs—whether you're focused on fertility, hormonal balance, menstrual health, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or perimenopause / menopause.

TCM & Acupuncture:
Return visits are fully customized to your current goals and may include acupuncture along with adjunct therapies such as cupping, low-level light therapy, moxibustion, electrical stimulation, and/or gua sha—at no additional charge. These TCM sessions help restore balance, regulate cycles, ease symptoms, and support long-term wellness.

Maya Abdominal Therapy:
For pregnant patients, we offer Pregnancy Maya Abdominal Therapy. This deeply nurturing session supports your body through all stages of pregnancy—relieving discomfort, improving circulation, reducing stress, and preparing for labor (especially in the third trimester or in cases of breech presentation).

Follow-up Maya Abdominal Therapy sessions for non-pregnant patients may be booked separately and include both anterior and posterior techniques to further support pelvic, digestive, and reproductive health. All treatments work together to enhance well-being and support you through every phase of your women’s health journey.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Individually formulated herbal prescriptions tailored to your diagnosis, constitution, and cycle. Designed to regulate hormones, support menstrual and reproductive health, and restore systemic balance. Herbs work internally between sessions to create deeper, lasting change. For established patients only.

Dr. Monica Dayanand DAOM, L.Ac.

Dr. Monica Dayanand, L.Ac., DAOM, FABORM is a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, licensed acupuncturist in the state of Texas, as well as in California, and is a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine and certified through the NCCAOM to practice acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, including herbal medicine. Her special interests include women’s reproductive health (specifically fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum), pain management, and pediatrics, and is currently one of only six acupuncturists in all of Houston that is a Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (FABORM). She has always had a deep appreciation for the human body and its fascinating possibilities, and she integrates her knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathology with ancient holistic therapies to develop individualized treatments for physical, mental, and emotional balance, flexibility of body and mind, and optimal overall wellbeing for those with whom she has the opportunity to work.

Dr. Dayanand holds a 4-year master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from ACAOM in Houston, Texas, with whom she participated in a month-long externship training in the gynecology and pediatric departments at the top Chinese medicine hospital in Tianjin, China in 2015. She finished her doctorate of Traditional Chinese Medicine from ACTCM in San Francisco in 2019 with special training in obstetrics and gynecology and worked extensively shadowing midwives, seasoned acupuncturists, and pediatricians. She is a certified postpartum doula, is trained in infant massage, and is a certified fertility, prenatal and postnatal yoga instructor. In 2021 and again in 2025, she studied with Dr. Rosita Arvigo in Central America and the UK, respectively, to learn the art of Maya Abdominal Therapy.

When she is not working you may find her hanging out with her hunky husband and three beautiful children. In addition, she enjoys traveling, learning different languages (French, Spanish, Italian), studying Kiiko Matsumoto-style (KMS) acupuncture & Japanese Hara diagnosis, as well as flipping around with friends in the Acroyoga community.
