At Mulberry Acupuncture and Wellness, we specialize in helping women navigate the complex hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause with greater ease, clarity, and confidence. Whether you're just starting to notice subtle cycle shifts or are experiencing hot flashes, insomnia, or mood swings, we’re here to help you find lasting relief—without relying on hormone replacement therapy or invasive procedures.

 

East Asian medicine offers a time-tested, individualized approach to supporting hormonal transitions. By working with your body’s natural cycles, acupuncture and herbal medicine help restore balance, improve energy, and reduce the symptoms that can disrupt daily life during this important stage.

​

Reclaim Balance During the Transition

Perimenopause and menopause are not just about estrogen decline—they involve changes across your entire hormonal landscape, including progesterone, cortisol, insulin, and thyroid function. These shifts can lead to a wide range of symptoms that affect your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

We help relieve common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, including:

• Irregular, heavy, or absent periods

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Mood swings, irritability, and anxiety

• Fatigue and poor stress resilience

• Sleep disruptions and insomnia

• Brain fog and memory changes

• Vaginal dryness and low libido

• Weight gain, especially around the midsection

• Hormonal acne and skin changes

• Hair thinning

• Bloating, water retention, and digestive shifts

• Joint pain and increased inflammation

Many women are told that these symptoms are just “part of aging,” but we believe you deserve real solutions and compassionate care that respects the unique experience of this life transition.

​

How We Help

We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your symptoms, cycle history, lab work, lifestyle, and goals. From there, we build a holistic treatment plan that may include:

• Acupuncture, to calm the nervous system, regulate hormones, and improve sleep

• Custom herbal formulas, tailored to address your specific presentation and hormone shifts

• Nutrition and lifestyle strategies, designed to support hormone detoxification and metabolic balance

• Targeted supplements, for adrenal and thyroid support, estrogen metabolism, and mood regulation

• Optional Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), especially useful for managing weight gain, fatigue, and blood sugar fluctuations common in perimenopause

We treat the whole system—not just individual symptoms—so that your body can re-establish balance from within.

​

What to Expect

Hormonal transitions take time. We support your healing in alignment with your body’s natural rhythm and adjust your care plan based on how you’re feeling and responding.

 

Mild to moderate symptoms (hot flashes, insomnia, mild cycle changes):
→ One acupuncture treatment per week for 3–4 months

 

More complex or long-standing concerns (PMDD, severe sleep issues, weight gain, mood instability):
→ Two acupuncture treatments per week for the first month
→ Then one treatment per week for an additional 3–4 months

​

Over time, you may notice better sleep, fewer hot flashes, improved mood, a more regulated cycle (if still menstruating), and a greater sense of well-being.
