Care through every phase.
Women's bodies are complex, cyclical, and often misunderstood by conventional medicine. At AMMA, women's health is not a niche — it's the center of the practice.
Dr. Nyla uses acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to address the root cause of hormonal imbalance and chronic symptoms, working with your body's natural rhythms rather than suppressing them.
Hormonal Imbalance
Irregular cycles, PMS, PMDD, painful periods, amenorrhea, and the fatigue and mood shifts that come with them. Treatment focuses on regulating the underlying pattern, not masking the symptoms.
Perimenopause & Menopause
Hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood changes, and the transition into a new hormonal baseline. Care that honors the intelligence of this shift.
Hormonal Imbalance
Irregular cycles, PMS, PMDD, painful periods, amenorrhea, and the fatigue and mood shifts that come with them. Treatment focuses on regulating the underlying pattern, not masking the symptoms.
PMOS (PCOS)
Cycle regulation, metabolic support, androgen balance, and long-term pattern management. A condition that responds well to consistent, root-cause treatment.
Pregnancy
Recovery, milk supply, mood, and the physical and emotional recalibration that follows birth. The fourth trimester deserves as much attention as the first three.

How does acupuncture work?
What you’ll feel
Acupuncture is virtually pain-free. At AMMA, fine, high quality needles are used to prioritize patient comfort. You may feel the initial insertion of the needle.
After the needle is inserted, it’s a mixed bag. Some patients drift off for a midday “needle nap” without any sensations felt. Some patients feel the needles working—warm sensations, slight pulling sensations, or even a feeling of energy “moving” through the body.
What the needles are doing
Releases natural pain killers
Modulates how the brain perceives and regulates pain signals
Regulates autonomic (stress & relaxation) response
Influences immune system signaling and regulation
Reduces inflammation
Supports local tissue healing responses
