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 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.
