Ease Perimenopause & Menopause Naturally
with Acupuncture, Herbal and Chinese Medicine
Done feeling hot, exhausted and irritable in perimenopause or menopause?
Are you having hot flashes, night sweats, irregular cycles, 3am wake-ups, weight gain, joint pain, vaginal dryness, or low libido that seem to have come out of nowhere?
Perhaps you're feeling brain fog, difficulty focusing, irritability, rage or sudden sadness that doesn’t feel like you.
Maybe hormone therapy isn’t an option, or you’d rather not use it, or you want gentle, effective support alongside it.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can provide natural care that works for your body, so you can reduce hot flashes, sleep, think clearly, and have more regulated moods.
21 Years of Helping Women Feel Their Best Through Perimenopause & Menopause
I'm Jen Cherewaty. A Registered Acupuncturist (RAc), Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (RTCMP), and former doula.
With over 21 years of experience in women's health, I've supported women through many of life's transitions from conception through pregnancy, postpartum and then perimenopause/menopause.
Perimenopause and menopause bring significant changes to your hormones, your energy, your identity and even your relationships. You deserve support from someone who listens to all your symptoms and looks at the whole picture.
My approach blends acupuncture, Chinese and herbal medicine. Care is intuitive, holistic, and evidence-informed. My goal is to help you ease your symptoms so you can feel like yourself again.
Imagine sleeping deeper and longer, getting through a meeting without a hot flash, and feeling calm and relaxed

Why Work With Me
Experienced & Compassionate Support
Fertility care isn't just clinical to me — it's personal. I know this journey can hold joy and grief in the very same week. You don't just need a treatment plan; you need someone in your corner who understands both the biology and the emotional weight of trying to grow your family.
Imagine moving through your cycle — natural, IUI, IVF, or egg freezing — feeling genuinely supported. Trusting that you're doing what you can, and that your body is capable, resilient, and worth believing in.
Over the past two decades I've supported hundreds of women to:
Hot Flashes & Night Sweats
“I was having hot flashes every few hours and dreading meetings at work. After acupuncture and herbal formulas, they became less frequent and much milder. I feel like I have my days back.”

Irritabile, Sad and Brain Fog
"I felt irritable and teary for no reason, and I couldn’t focus. Thank you so much for the acupuncture and custom herbal formula. My mood is steadier now, my head feels clearer, and I feel like myself again."

Waking At 3am
“I was waking hot, sweaty at 3am every night and couldn’t get back to sleep. I’m now sleeping through most nights and waking up rested, which has made everything else easier. The chinese herbal medicine before bed, acupuncture and mindfullness really helped”

Women most often come to me for hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood changes, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain and low libido.
Research is strongest for hot flashes, sleep and mood-related symptoms, and every woman responds differently.
Not at all.
Perimenopause can begin years before your final period, often in the early to mid 40s.
Irregular cycles, heavier or lighter flow, worsening PMS, poor sleep and mood shifts are all common early signs, and support at this stage can make the transition smoother.
Often yes.
Many women use acupuncture alongside HRT for additional symptom relief.
Herbal medicine is always coordinated with your medications and your healthcare providers.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer a non-hormonal option for women who can't or prefer not to use hormone therapy.
Please share your full health history with me, and if you have a history of hormone-sensitive conditions.
Many women notice improvements in sleep and overall calm within the first few sessions.
I typically recommend planning for 8–12 weeks of care to see lasting change in symptoms like hot flashes and mood, then spacing treatments out for maintenance.
Everyone's timeline is different.
