Women's Wellness Circles- Acupuncture + Education

Written By Anne Chiaramonte, MS, LAc, FABORM

1/1/2020 Update: Women’s Wellness Circles are on pause while Arrive settles into our new home at 550 Water Street. Circles will resume in the Winter or Spring of 2020.

I am pleased to announce a series of workshops, or “circles,” that combine education, community and acupuncture. My monthly Women’s Wellness Circles offer education on a particular topic followed by group acupuncture, and a chance to discuss challenges and tips on incorporating healthy habits in our busy lives. The workshops will incorporate fundamental concepts from biology, functional medicine and Chinese medicine. Each workshop is limited to 6 women. (Pregnant women are welcome if they are a current patient in our practice.)

Anne is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist (2004) and a board-certified fellow in acupuncture reproductive medicine (2009). Anne’s particular interest in women’s health led her to Australia to study with Jane Lyttleton, author of “Treatment of Infertility with Chinese Medicine” and to San Francisco to work with Lifang Liang, author of “Acupuncture and IVF.” In 2009, Anne became part of one of the country’s first on-site acupuncture programs at an IVF clinic, located at Pacific Fertility Center in San Francisco.

Anne founded Arrive Reproductive Medicine as a unique acupuncture practice dedicated to supporting women with cycle-related concerns, fertility challenges and burnout. When she’s not in the clinic seeing patients, you can find Anne listening to podcasts while doing water aerobics, juggling parenting responsibilities or snuggling with her two boys.
