  • Chinese Medicine

    Treatment with Chinese Medicine involves not just acupuncture and herbs, but also moxibustion, cupping, gua sha, and dietary and lifestyle advice  – according to what’s appropriate to your specialized Chinese diagnosis.

  • Diet

    As part of your Chinese medical consultation your practitioner may suggest dietary adjustments. Many of the programs that form part of the YinOva Method also contain a nutritional plan. You can read more about the Chinese medicine approach to diet here. 

  • Transitions

    We tailor Chinese medicine to the needs of women through all life’s stages and transitions.

    We have programs combining Eastern and Western medicine and nutritional support for each life phase: childhood, puberty, preparing for pregnancy, pregnancy, motherhood and more, general women’s health, menopause, and aging.

    Read more about these transitions here.

  • Support Groups

    New cycles of our infertility support group start regularly at the YinOva Center, and we are always eager to welcome new members. Nell Shanahan Schwartz wisely and compassionately leads groups of women who together explore their experiences – with infertility, yes, but also pregnancy, miscarriage, marriage, work, relationships and all the many intertwining strands of our lives.

     As women come together to find strength, support, and hope, one common theme of discussion is loss — loss of the understanding or expectation of how things would be, how life would look, how becoming a parent would play out. Sometimes acknowledging this and sharing it in a safe space can allow for new awareness, for new strengths to be discovered and actualized, and for new bonds and relationships to be forged that help us feel full of life, despite the challenges of conceiving. Another common topic is love, and specifically, love of oneself, and one’s body, in the midst of this difficult process, when our bodies aren’t always doing what we want them to do. Bringing these feelings out into the light of day is instrumental in finding and nurturing peace and love within, and not solely with another (be it a partner or a child).

  • Events

    The YinOva Center periodically hosts a range of salons and workshops by a broad spectrum of holistic practitioners and thinkers, sometimes including our own staff members; topics we’ve taken on include sex, natural make up, yoga, feng shui, chocolate, and more.

    We also take our show on the road with live radio appearances, panel discussions, book tour stops, and more. To be kept in the loop about future events sign up for our newsletter here.
