The Happier Period Program
Fully remote care for Painful Periods
What it is
The
Happier Periods Program is a six-month
herbal care program for patients experiencing
painful periods. Care centers on custom Chinese herbal formulas, developed specifically for you and adjusted as your treatment progresses. Consultations are done remotely and your custom formula is delivered to your door.
Six months reflects what we typically see is needed to achieve lasting improvement with this condition, not just temporary relief. This timeline allows us to build a formula that's truly right for you and adjust it as you progress. We work together to address stubborn and longstanding period pain, and address the underlying root causes for lasting relief.
The goal is to resolve your painful periods and for you to graduate from herbal care. In other words, we aim to achieve a transformation during a shorter (~6 month) course of herbal care that provides long lasting relief - not for you to take herbs indefinitely. Some patients benefit from low-dose or as-needed herbal support following the initial treatment period to maintain results.
Who it's for
This program is for women who want to acheive relief from painful periods holistically. Unlike the conventional options (painkillers and birth control), we are not going to put a bandaid on your pain, but rather address the unique root causes of pain and dysfunction. Chinese herbal care is particularly suited to addressing internal issues that cause painful periods. The program is well suited to busy people! Herbs are taken wherever you are, so treatment is daily without having to attend in-person appointments.
We are currently enrolling patients who meet the following criteria:
- Experience painful periods that are not related to known underlying causes according to Western Medicine. This is called primary dysmenorrhea.*
- Experiencing regular (predictable) periods (variation of 3-5 days shorter or longer each cycle is normal)
- Not currently taking hormonal birth control
If you have questions about the criteria please email or call us and we'll be happy to assist. If you don't qualify for our remote program we can still help you in-person at our clinic in Manhattan.
*Have an underlying cause? We'd still love to help you. Please book an in-person Complimentary Consultation at our clinic in Manhattan.

Why I built the Happier Periods Program
Period pain kept showing up! Patients would come in for back pain, fatigue, stress — and I'd spot it buried in their intake. Severe period pain, written off as normal. Some had tried birth control and were still hurting. Some had seen another acupuncturist who never told them what a real treatment plan looks like. Almost none of them knew it was fixable.
Chinese herbal medicine is the single best tool Chinese medicine has for menstrual health.
It's the gold standard in Chinese Medicine for addressing deep seated internal issues that cause period pain. While acupuncture can be helpful (and may even be recommended within the Happier Periods Program), it's not the most important treatment modality for long standing period pain.
I also started seeing how remote care lessens the difficulty and mental load for patients.
The Happier Periods Program brings together the best of Chinese Medicine for painful periods in a format that is accessible and easy to follow. Custom formulas made for you, mailed to your door, adjusted as your body responds. Lifestyle guidance where it's needed. All through telehealth, so it fits your life instead of asking you to rearrange it. We start with daily herbal treatment and add acupuncture only if you need it.
If you're ready to lift the burden of heavy periods, lets collaborate on your health to get you there, all while improving your overall health.
