Welcome to Vibrant Acupuncture & Sound!

I'm Ruth, an Acupuncturist and classical Chinese Medicine practitioner trained in sound therapy, tai chi, fertility awareness methods, maternal doula care, and health coaching.

As a sound healer, I love combining acupuncture with music, using the dynamic healing vibrations of the voice, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, flutes, chimes, strings, and percussion to create an immersive healing experience that opens, clears, and restores harmony to the body, nervous system, and mind.

​​

As a practitioner, I hold dearly what traditional Chinese Medicine embraces as a truth: that we all embody Yin AND Yang to infinite degrees — in our sexuality, bodies, genders, self-expression, relationships, and so on. This, to me, represents the ultimate embodiment of inclusivity and connection. It reflects how I wish to connect with the community through this sacred medicine.

​​

As a fertility awareness & sexual health educator, I offer a full spectrum of women's health medicine, supporting women through all cycles of life. I am passionate about helping women build an intellectual understanding of their hormonal cycles by educating them on how to observe, chart, and interpret their ovulatory menstrual cycles. This empowering practice has many applications. Primarily it is used as a way to support optimize conditions for conception and pregnancy, conscious contraception, and identify hormonal imbalances and bring them into balance and attunement.

Now more than ever, our reproductive rights are being challenged, making it critical to understand what it truly means to be "pro-choice." At its core, pro-choice is about informed choice. But how can we make truly informed decisions if we lack an understanding of how our choices impact our own bodies? The foundation of informed decision-making is body literacy—the knowledge and awareness that empower us to choose what’s best for our individual health and lives.

​

Let’s talk about ovulation—because if you have a uterus and ovaries, your body is DESIGNED to ovulate during your reproductive years. On average, that’s about 450 cycles in a lifetime! But here’s the thing: we are not fertile every day. In fact, fertility is limited to a specific window—just about a third or even a quarter of each cycle, centered around ovulation. Knowing when you’re fertile is key if you're trying to conceive, and the most reliable way to pinpoint that window is by tuning into your body’s own signs—not just relying on apps or calendar predictions. And just because we ovulate doesn’t mean we ever have to get pregnant—this level of body awareness allows us to choose. The more we understand and embrace our ovulating bodies and the hormones that guide them, the more we can work with our bodies, not against them, to support our health and our choices.

It is only with body literacy that we are empowered to make informed decisions that truly honor "my body, my choice." If this philosophy resonates with you, I look forward to working together!
