A Message From Dr. Krystal
The experience of birthing my first daughter naturally at a Birthing Center awakened a desire in me to support and empower women during the sacred cycles of their lives. My primary focus is on women’s health with a specialty in fertility, pregnancy, and aging gracefully. Knowing that Chinese Medicine is one of the most comprehensive and effective modalities for supporting women’s health, I devoted myself to a four-year rigorous academic graduate program at Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts and received my Master’s of Oriental Medicine. I used acupuncture and herbs to prepare myself to have a successful and gentle home birth at the age of 40 with my second daughter, so I know first-hand how potent this medicine is! I believe that a well-loved and supported mother creates a healthier society.
