From cycle health and fertility to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause — personalized care for every season of womanhood.

Acupuncture for hormone health

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture Services in CHASKA, MN

At Verdae Wellness, I provide personalized acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine for women through every season of life—from fertility and IVF/IUI support to cycle and hormone health, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and general wellness.

My approach is rooted in whole-person, integrative care. Rather than looking at a symptom in isolation, we take the time to understand the bigger picture—your health history, current concerns, lifestyle, stress, sleep, and the changes your body may be navigating.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer another lens through which we can support your health, while working alongside the Western medical care you may already be receiving. Every treatment is individualized, every visit begins with listening, and care can change as your needs change.

Because at Verdae, the goal isn’t simply to provide treatment. It’s to make sure you feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for along the way.

Frequently asked questions

Acupuncture is generally very gentle. The needles used are extremely thin — much finer than those used for injections. Most people feel little to no discomfort, and many find treatments deeply relaxing. It’s common to feel calm, grounded, or even sleepy during and after a session.

Verdae Wellness focuses on women’s health, including:

• fertility and preconception support (I do recommend fertility support treatments for your partner as well!)
• pregnancy care
• postpartum recovery
• hormone support, cycle health, perimenopause and menopause support
• stress and nervous system regulation

Each treatment is personalized based on your unique health picture and goals.

This depends on your individual situation and goals. Some women come in for short-term support, while others benefit from more consistent care over time — especially for fertility, hormone balance, or postpartum recovery.

We will discuss a personalized treatment plan after your initial visit so you know what to expect moving forward.

No. While you may notice some of the same acupuncture points used from visit to visit, every treatment is tailored to what your body needs that day. Where you are in your cycle, whether you’re trying to conceive, new symptoms or health concerns, changes in sleep or stress, or even the beginnings of a cold can all influence your treatment.

We’ll check in at every visit and adjust your treatment accordingly — because your body isn’t exactly the same every week, and your acupuncture treatment shouldn’t be either.

Yes — when performed by a licensed acupuncturist trained in women’s health, acupuncture is considered a safe and supportive option during pregnancy. Treatments are always adapted to your stage of pregnancy and individual needs, with a focus on comfort, safety, and gentle support. Acupuncture can also be used safely alongside assisted reproductive treatments such as IVF and IUI. Care is tailored to support your body throughout each phase of treatment and can be coordinated alongside your medical care.

After a session, many patients feel more relaxed, grounded, and clear. Some notice improvements in sleep, stress levels, or overall energy.

Because acupuncture works by supporting the body’s natural processes, changes can be subtle and build over time with consistent care.
