Empowered Menstrual Health.
Living life with a period is just different.
You are a caregiver, spouse, mother, parent, partner, co-worker, cook, housecleaner, schedule-juggler, lover, employee, business owner, and/or so much more. At the end of the day it is a lot to have a reproductive cycle that is constantly affecting temperature, pain level, energy level, vitality, libido, digestion and sleep. The menstrual cycle can either rule your life or you can comfortably co-exist and enjoy the cyclical changes.
Window of Heaven Acupuncture & Yoga, Inc is the nurturing home for all your menstrual needs and questions. The practice is based around parents–whether kids are full grown, in the womb or a future plan. I understand that if parents are nourished and strengthened the whole family can flourish. Make time for yourself so you can sustainably support your family.

Yes, come in and let's discuss your specific circumstance. I treat lots of people on hormonal birth control.
I'm not an auto-immune disorder specialist. I treat a lot of the symptoms associated with auto-immune disorders but do not utilize that diagnosis or language. There are lots of good auto-immune specialists in the Pioneer Valley. I may not be the best fit.
I don't do fertility work in my practice. I send all interested patients to Kindreth at Integrity Women's Health in South Hadley. She is really wonderful!!!
My work as an herbalist sets me apart from other local practitioners. I use herbs in an immediate results-oriented way. If you are not seeing results from herbs or supplements in two to three days it isn't right for you. I treat people frequently in the beginning and do a lot of education around quantity of necessary rest and sleep as well as diet suggestions.
Getting the period back is a tricky endeavor. The more recent your last period, the faster we can get it back. If it has been a way for a year or more, this is a substantial process. Not an impossible one. I work without hormones and encourage women to chart their basal body temperatures to know more about what is actually happening with the cycle. This is a complicated process and one that requires a substantial examination and organization of sleep patterns to actually regulate the cycle.
Yes. Absolutely. If you said you turned green on day 27, I would say it was cycle related. The tricky part is if you keep treating that symptom as digestive or sleep or emotional, instead of treating it as menstrual, it won't get better. You are not crazy. There are zillions of symptoms that happen at very regular points in the cycle, even if they are not right before you bleed. They can be on day 5, right before ovulation, right after ovulation or as soon as the bleeding arrives. Those are all other markers of big changes in the body and things can happen cyclically at those times of change.

A menstruating body is influenced by emotions, the cycle, the immune system, the nervous system, one’s life’s trauma experience, a partner’s support, one’s life’s work and connection to spirit.
