Women's Health and Chinese Medicine

Do you want to understand your body better?

Would you like to learn about natural ways to treat your Women’s Health concern?

Do you want to create more balance in your cycle?

Finding the right practitioner that you feel comfortable with is a huge part of successfully treating your Women's Health concern.
That's why we offer free 30-minute consultations so that you can meet Gretchen and talk with her about your specific concern.

Gretchen Belenchia, LAc enjoys working with women of all ages to achieve more balance and wellness in their lives. Gretchen’s approach to Women’s Health comes from a desire to share this amazing medicine and way of perceiving the female form that is distinctly different from Western allopathic medicine.

If you feel like your story is not being heard, Gretchen will take the time to really listen to you and your Women’s Health goals. She strives to inform and educate her patients on drug-free, natural ways to achieve their goals.

Her treatments are very gentle and nourishing, and they focus on building body awareness and appreciation for all that our bodies go through during a lifetime as well as each month.

Monthly Cycles

Monthly cycles are a natural process affecting all women during a large portion of their lives. Many different factors can contribute to an imbalanced cycle. Stress, diet, and lifestyle are just a few factors that can create a difficult or irregular period. Chinese Medicine and CranioSacral Therapy can help to restore balance to your cycle and decrease pain or discomfort.

Please see the list below for some common Women's Health concerns related to the monthly cycle:

• Cramping and difficult periods
• Irregular periods
• No period (amenorrhea)
• Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS)
  • Mood Swings
  • Breast tenderness
  • Bloating
  • Water-weight gain
  • Break-outs (Acne)

Wedding Preparation

The time leading up to your big day can be very stressful. Even though there is generally a strong focus on the exterior, remember to pay attention to the interior as well. Chinese Medicine and CranioSacral Therapy can help bring out your inner beauty and bring balance to this special time in your life.

We can help with:

• Stress Relief
• Emotional Balance

Fertility

Trying to conceive can be a stressful and discouraging time in a couple’s life. Chinese Medicine can bring you gently and effectively back into balance physically, mentally, and emotionally, so that you can have a better chance to become and stay pregnant.

Cancer Patient and Cancer Survivor Support

Chinese Medicine and CranioSacral Therapy can support you physically and emotionally as you undergo cancer treatment. We strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment where you can support and encourage your body’s amazing healing ability.

If you are a cancer survivor, we can help you with the emotional and body-memory processing that you may need to undergo on your path to full recovery.

Pre-Menopause and Menopause

During this time in your life, it is extra important to honor yourself and your body and to be patient and understanding with yourself. Menopause is not a disease, nor is it treated as such at Cloud Gate.

Menopause is a natural transition during a woman’s life. Chinese Medicine and CranioSacral can help support you through this transition both physically and emotionally. We can help with:

• Irregular periods
• Increased heavy periods
• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Mood swings
• Decreased libido

Age of Wisdom 

As you pass menopause and enter the third phase of your lives, recognize that your inner wisdom and inner power as a woman keeps growing. Your energy is not being spent on monthly cycles or carrying children any longer, instead that energy can go to…anywhere you want it to go! This is your time to be a creative powerhouse if you choose to be!

As your inner wisdom keeps growing, you can also support your outer body with Chinese Medicine. We are here to help support your body as you age. We can help with:

• Osteopenia
• Osteoporosis
• Arthritis
• Joint aching and stiffness
