Supporting Women Through Life’s Transitions

Fertility, monthly cycles, and menopausal years can each be supported through acupuncture, herbs, botanical-based point injection therapy, and nutrition.

Ballard Acupuncture Center is excited to announce that we will be hosting a 3-part workshop series this upcoming Fall on all things related to the various transitions that women enter in and out of throughout their life. 

The series will begin in September and end in November, segwaying our community from the activity of the Summer months into the more routine, less active, and darker Fall and Winter months—a perfect time to restore the body with self-care, seasonal recipes, and regular acupuncture treatments.

As a health center with a focus on Women’s Health, we will be making sure to target each of the demographics that come to see us. Whether you are in a phase of wanting to begin a family, phasing into peri-menopausal years, or you would like to get your cycle and hormonal health back on track, we want to lend a helping hand. 

Below we share each of the workshops that we will be discussing and focusing on over the course of the three months. All three of the workshops will be held at Ballard Acupuncture Center.
