Are you ready to feel good in your body?

WOMEN’S HEALTH

SCHEDULE

Your body is always communicating. Symptoms- whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, are not the problem. They are the signal. At Starbird Women's Health, we listen to that signal and work to understand what's underneath it.

Through interview and intake, hands-on diagnostics, intuition, and a deep knowledge of Chinese medicine, we reveal the root of imbalance and treat the whole body, mind, and spirit. This is women's health acupuncture the way it was always meant to be practiced, not managing symptoms in isolation, but meeting you as a whole person and supporting your body's innate capacity to heal.

What to Expect 

Your first visit with Kat begins with time. We want to hear your full story- not just the chief complaint, but your history, you story, your patterns, your traumas, your life. From there, Kat draws on her training in Chinese medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine, functional medicine, vibration healing, and intuitive healing to build a treatment approach that is specific to you.

No two patients are the same, and no two treatment plans look exactly alike. Whether you're navigating a complex hormonal condition, recovering from trauma, moving through a major life transition, or simply trying to feel more at home in your body- there is a place for you here.

New patients are always welcome. Our Bend, Oregon clinic serves women from across Central Oregon, including Sisters, Redmond, and surrounding communities.

Women’s Health FAQ

  • Women's health acupuncture addresses a wide range of physical, hormonal, and emotional conditions. At Starbird, we commonly treat PCOS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, menstrual irregularities, painful periods, menopause symptoms, anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, digestive issues, miscarriage, reoccurring loss and fertility challenges, among many others. Chinese medicine looks at the whole body rather than isolating individual symptoms, which means it is often effective for complex or chronic conditions that haven't responded fully to conventional care.

  • Conventional medicine excels at diagnosis and acute intervention. Chinese medicine excels at understanding patterns- why symptoms keep returning, how systems in the body are connected, and what the body needs to come back into balance. At Starbird, we don't replace your other providers. We work alongside them, filling in the gaps and addressing root causes and mind, body, spirit connections, that may not be visible on a lab panel.

  • In Chinese medicine, hormonal imbalance is understood as a disruption in the flow and quality of qi, blood, and vital substances in the body. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle therapy work together to regulate these systems- supporting the liver, kidney, and spleen organ systems that govern hormonal health, the menstrual cycle, and reproductive function. The result is not a quick fix, but a gradual, meaningful shift in how the body functions.

  • Yes- these are conditions we work with regularly at Starbird. PCOS responds well to the combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, which can help regulate cycles, support ovulation, and address underlying inflammation. Endometriosis treatment focuses on pain reduction, improving circulation, and addressing the immune and hormonal factors involved. For menopause, acupuncture is one of the most well-supported natural approaches for managing hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood changes, and the broader transition the body is moving through.

  • Yes- our Bend, Oregon clinic welcomes patients from across Central Oregon, including Sisters, Redmond, La Pine, and beyond. Many of our patients travel to see us specifically because this level of integrative women's healthcare isn't widely available in the region. We also offer virtual wellness sessions for those who prefer to start remotely.
