Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine for Hormone Balance, Fertility & Emotional Wellness

At Health Blossoms, acupuncture is a central part of our holistic approach to healing. Grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this time-tested therapy supports hormonal regulation, fertility, stress reduction, digestion, and more by restoring balance in the body’s energy systems.

Dr. Kathryn McKenzie, ND, LAc, is a licensed acupuncturist who uses TCM principles alongside naturopathic medicine to help women and teen girls improve cycle health, emotional resilience, and whole-body wellness.

What Is Acupuncture?

The insertion of hair thin needles to specific acupuncture points to support energetic flow through the meridians. The points are selected based on the phase of the menstrual cycle, mood, digestion, energy, quality of sleep, and other hormone related concerns at the time of the appointment.

Treatments may include:
Acupuncture
Fertility acupuncture
The Eight Extraordinary Vessels Acupuncture
Red light therapy
Electro stimulation (gentle needle stimulation)
Cupping therapy with silicone, magnet or laser cups
Biomat (far infrared heating pad)
Castor oil pack
Liquid Moxibustion (supports vitality and the immune system, reduces pain and inflammation)
Aroma Acupoint Therapy (application of essential oils to acupuncture points)
Breathing exercise
Chinese herbal formulas

Yin and Yang: The Foundation of Balance in TCM

Health in Chinese medicine depends on the dynamic balance between Yin and Yang energies. Here’s how they contrast:

Yang	Yin	Yang	Yin
Light	Darkness	Round	Flat
Sun	Moon	Time	Space
Brightness	Shade	East	West
Activity	Rest	South	North
Heaven	Earth	Left	Right

Acupuncture helps realign Yin and Yang when imbalance causes symptoms such as fatigue, menstrual irregularities, or mood disruption.

What Our Patients Are Saying

“Acupuncture has been so beneficial for me. It has not only helped me by improving my digestion and relieving muscle tension but it has also helped me to totally relax and unwind. After an acupuncture treatment, I feel like a new person, totally refreshed! Dr. McKenzie’s office is so calming that when I walk through the door I already start to relax. Her professionalism and calming spirit further relaxes me before the treatment begins. I recommended my mother to Dr. McKenzie and my mom loves her calming spirit!! My mom gets so relaxed during her treatments that she falls asleep! This is the only time I think my mom truly relaxes and gets relief from stress.”

— Donna

“I initially tried acupuncture to help balance my hormones after several rounds of IVF treatments that had left me overweight and with everything from hot flashes to heavy periods. Because of my acupuncture treatments with Dr. McKenzie, I was able to stop taking medicine for my periods, and stopped having hot flashes. Regular acupuncture has also helped with reducing my stress, reducing allergy symptoms, and weight loss. Dr. McKenzie does an excellent job of listening to my concerns and designs my treatments to address whatever issues I may be experiencing.”
