Director of Women’s Health
Fertility, Perimenopause & Functional Medicine
Jeannie leads women’s health at AcuGroup. She has focused on reproductive health and gynecology since graduate school, and she cares for women through every stage of reproductive life, from cycle and hormone regulation to fertility, IVF, pregnancy and postpartum, and on through perimenopause and menopause.
She is a Fellow of the Acupuncture and TCM Board for Reproductive Medicine and a practitioner certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine. She builds each patient’s plan from lab testing, acupuncture, herbal medicine, supplements and nutrition, and she takes the time to do the detective work complex cases need. She created AcuGroup’s 6-Week Perimenopause Wellness Program.
Jeannie’s clinical focus is women’s health across the lifespan. In fertility care, she supports patients through IVF and IUI, including those adding acupuncture after a failed cycle, and coordinates treatment with their fertility clinics. She also treats PCOS, endometriosis, low ovarian reserve and recurrent miscarriage, painful or irregular periods, and pregnancy and postpartum concerns. In midlife, she treats perimenopause and menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, poor sleep, mood changes and irregular cycles. Her functional medicine work extends to digestive and autoimmune conditions, including IBS, SIBO and thyroid disease.
Jeannie’s interest in women’s health began with her family history. She grew up hearing about her mother’s difficulty conceiving. Her approach to digestive and autoimmune conditions comes from her own experience. For more than a decade she lived with Hashimoto’s disease and eosinophilic esophagitis, and she was told her condition would only get worse. She recovered by combining nutrition, supplements, herbs, meditation, acupuncture and bodywork, and she brings that experience to patients whose conditions have fallen through the cracks of conventional care.
