Abigail Thomas, DACM, LAc
Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
I help women navigate life’s transitions with personalized, integrative care rooted in East Asian medicine.
Throughout our lives, we move through seasons of profound change—preparing for pregnancy, welcoming a new baby, navigating perimenopause, adapting to a changing body, or learning to age with strength and vitality. These seasons are made up of moments that can feel uncertain, but offer opportunities for growth, resilience, and renewal.
For more than 25 years, I have combined traditional East Asian medicine with evidence-informed care to help women understand their bodies and develop practical, individualized strategies to support their health. My work extends beyond treating symptoms.
As an integrative healthcare provider, I work collaboratively with physicians and other healthcare professionals, offering acupuncture, integrative health consultations, and education that support women through every stage of life. Whether you are seeking relief from pain, support during a major life transition, or guidance toward healthy aging, my goal is the same: to help you move forward with greater ease, vitality, and confidence.
Mission
To empower women to navigate life’s transitions with confidence by honoring their changing bodies and providing personalized, integrative care that supports lifelong health, resilience, and connection to self.
Vision
I envision a world where women move through every stage of life with wisdom, support, and confidence—where life’s transitions are not feared or simply endured, but embraced as opportunities for healing, growth, and becoming more fully ourselves.
