In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a woman’s life is understood to move through a series of 7-year cycles. Each stage reflects a natural shift in hormones, energy, and vitality. These phases begin with the start of menstruation and continue through fertility, motherhood, perimenopause, and postmenopause. At the core of these changes is the flow of Kidney Qi and Blood, which guide development, reproduction, and aging. At Seven Points Wellness, we use this framework to support women through each stage with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and holistic care. Our goal is to help you feel balanced, nourished, and connected to your body through every chapter of life.
