Hi, I’m Dr. Anne. I’m an integrative women’s health practitioner specializing in embodiment and sexual health.

​

My work brings together acupuncture, chiropractic, Chinese medicine, herbalism, Ayurveda, somatics, pelvic and sexual health, and Tantra to help women understand and care for themselves as whole, embodied human beings.

​

I’ve spent years studying across disciplines because I kept encountering the same problem: women’s health is often divided into pieces that don’t actually live separately inside a woman.

​

Your libido doesn’t exist separately from your stress.

Your pelvic health doesn’t exist separately from your nervous system.

Your menstrual cycle doesn’t exist separately from nourishment.

Your sleep affects your desire. Your relationships affect your body. Your hormones affect your mood. Pleasure affects how you experience being alive.

It is all in conversation.

​

So rather than asking women to divide themselves into increasingly smaller parts, my work asks a different question: What does this woman need in order to become healthier, more resourced, more deeply embodied, and more fully alive? Food. Sleep. Sex.

​

One of the simplest maps for my work comes from Ayurveda, which describes food, sleep, and sex as three pillars of health. I interpret those pillars expansively.

​

Food is nourishment.
What are you taking in? Are you adequately fed, physically and otherwise? How are food, herbs, digestion, blood, energy, pleasure, and the rhythms of the natural world supporting you?

​

Sleep is restoration.
Do you have the capacity to metabolize your life? This includes sleep, rest, stress physiology, nervous-system regulation, rhythm, recovery, and the ability to replenish what you spend.

​

Sex is sexual health, pleasure, creational capacity, and eros.
How are desire, libido, arousal, pelvic health, sensation, intimacy, creativity, pleasure, and your relationship with your erotic self showing up in your life?

​

Sometimes our work focuses primarily on one pillar. Often, we discover that all three are talking to one another.

​

Sexual health is health.

Sexuality is one area of women’s health I’m particularly passionate about bringing back into the larger conversation. Libido, lubrication, arousal, orgasm, pelvic sensation, pleasure, sexual comfort, and desire are not frivolous concerns simply because they involve sex. Nor do I believe there is one correct way for a woman’s sexuality to look. Instead, I’m interested in what your sexual wellbeing can tell us about you.

​

My approach may incorporate pelvic embodiment, somatic sexuality, neuroscience, herbs and traditional medicine, yoni egg and pompoir practices when appropriate, Tantra and Taoist sexual practices, intimacy and relationship work, or conscious kink

.

Sometimes sexuality points us toward physiology.

Sometimes toward relationship.

Sometimes toward the nervous system.

Sometimes toward pleasure.

And sometimes toward the parts of ourselves we haven't yet given ourselves permission to know.

​

An integrative approach to the whole woman

My work is informed by both my clinical education and years of additional study in women’s health, embodiment, herbalism, pelvic care, sexuality, somatics, intimacy, and traditional systems of medicine.

 

But I’m less interested in collecting modalities than I am in what becomes possible between them. Chinese medicine may give us one lens. Ayurveda another. Anatomy and physiology another. Somatics another. Herbalism another. Your own lived experience another.

​

My job is not to force your body into a particular system. It is to listen across those systems, notice patterns, and help you develop a more intimate understanding of your own body and what supports it. Because ultimately, I don't want women merely managing their bodies. I want women to know how to inhabit them.

​

Ways to work with me

​

My work currently includes clinical care, education, self-paced courses, and private mentorship.

​

Offerings include acupuncture, chiropractic, integrative herbal consults, and more.

 

The Erotic Woman is my focused, three-month sexual wellness mentorship for women who want personalized support around libido, pleasure, pelvic embodiment, sexuality, intimacy, and their erotic lives.

 

The Embodied Woman is my deeper mentorship for women who want to work more expansively across health, nourishment, restoration, sexuality, embodiment, relationships, and the larger ecology of their lives.

 

And through my Substack, The Yoni Herbal, I write and teach about the endlessly fascinating territory where women’s health, plants, bodies, sexuality, seasons, pleasure, and embodiment meet.

​

Welcome. I’m glad you found your way here.
