The middle and later years of life present their own richness and unique health challenges. I choose to focus on the person moving through these stages, not just body parts or health problems.
Perimenopause
For some women the middle of life feels a little like the middle of hell. Women in perimenopause will experience feeling too hot, tired, irritable, scattered, achy or sleepless. You are unique and your symptoms during perimenopause and menopause may be very different from what other women experience.
I can help you make sense of what's happening during this transition. This medicine helps balance your body. You can be freed up to move forward with all the new insights and focus that women experience when passing through this phase of life.
Whether it’s hot flashes or lack of energy, too many trips to the bathroom, anxiety, poor sleep, or a ‘fuzzy mind’; or you want help to plan and choose your care options or next steps, Ruth will partner with you to provide great care, help you understand the process, and provide information and resources so you can take action and restore your sense of well-being.

Retirement and Unretirement (The Further Journey)
Ruth helps people prepare and move through finding what's next in life after retirement. She uses multiple tools and techniques to help you get clear about your priorities, shape that into a plan and help you form a new lifestyle. Today, many people choose to do some sort of encore work in this stage. Ruth can help you identify and pursue your interests and start a new direction.
You may be anticipating retiring and are unsure of what's ahead, or you may have retired a year or two ago and have many of the things on your list and are looking for something else. We can partner to help you move forward with purpose.
Aging Well
Quality of daily life is crucial as we age. You have choices about how you take care of yourself.
Chronic aches and pains throughout the body or poor sleep steal your zest. Acupuncture provides a way to relieve much of your pain and helps you sleep better without having to take yet another medication so you can be more alert and add less risk of side effects.
Medication side effects can leave you feeling a little zapped or not quite yourself. Acupuncture is a great natural way to treat many conditions, but it also is a great way to treat many side effects of your medications.
In addition, acupuncture helps nourish and move your circulation on deeper levels for higher energy levels throughout the day. Many patients have said they felt like they had a little drink from the fountain of youth after they've had acupuncture. We've found that some of our best results from acupuncture are in people in their 80's and beyond.
