It is all about your
unique story.
According to Chinese Medicine, the face is considered a reflection of one’s inner balance and overall health, and it recognizes the connection between our emotions and our physical appearance.
Facial rejuvenation in Chinese medicine isn't just about creams and treatments; it's about addressing the root causes of skin issues by promoting holistic well-being.
Working on your face is a gentle reminder that our emotions and inner world play a profound role in how we glow and radiate on the outside and that aging is not the problem—lack of resilience is.
A lack of resilience in the skin is often due to conditions like improper home care, nutritional deficiencies, digestive issues, stress, poor sleep, dehydration, unresolved trauma, or hormones. They all play a role in how much visible vitality we have in our skin. Fortunately, Chinese Medicine is uniquely positioned to identify and correct the root causes leading to poor skin health
But because the skin is a two-sided organ that forms the boundary of our outer and inner health, we also dig deeply into the connection between your emotions and your lifestyle and teach you how to increase not only the vitality of your skin but of your life.
Born during the pandemic, Margaret created her signature approach to meet the needs of women who want to minimize the cost of in-person services and learn how to create those results (or better) at home. Because what we do daily is what forms the foundation for health.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ Can you describe what you do?
Sure! I work with womens who need support and a plan to improve their health, energy, mood, and hormone balance. I work from a holistic health perspective which means that I work to uncover the root issues that are blocking your healing, and every treatment plan is personalized--I don't believe in cookie-cutter plans. Together, we will identify your health goals and create a realistic plan that will help you reach those goals. Your plan may include a combination of diet, acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, and functional medicine testing. And, while my focus in on natural healing, I am also comfortable working with clients who are undergoing other medical treatment for their conditions.
+ How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture works by stimulating your body’s own healing chemistry. Scientific studies show that acupuncture releases endorphins (which help the body to heal) and it helps to alleviate pain. It also helps to reduce inflammation — which is at the root of many disease processes. Additionally, it Increases activity in areas of the brain and enhances brain function. As a result it can have a positive effect on all of your body systems including your immune, digestive, hormonal, and nervous systems.
+ How many appointments do I need?
My recommendation for each woman will depend on the individual and will be discussed during your plan of care visit.
If your plan includes acupuncture, then it is important for you to know that the effects are cumulative — the more regularly you come (particularly in the beginning) the better results you will get. So, in the beginning it is helpful to come more frequently. Once you start making improvements the schedule for treatment becomes less frequent until resolution of symptoms is achieved.
If your plan does not include acupuncture then we will have two initial visits: a consult and a plan of care follow-up. After this we will check in every two weeks for a couple months until your symptoms have resolved.
+ What conditions do you treat?
I work with women of all ages and with various complaints. I regularly treat women with: peri/menopause symptoms, PCOS, irregular or excessive menstrual bleeding, fibroids, absent periods, thyroid issues, digestive/gut problems, urinary incontinence or urinary infections, and sexual health concerns.
