When should we consider period pain ‘normal’? When is it problematic? Join me for an interview with Samantha Avnet.
Samantha is a Nationally Board-Certified and California Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist and a Certified Arvigo® Abdominal Therapy Practitioner.
She has been working with plant medicine for over twenty years with her roots in Western herbal traditions and is a Certified Women’s Herbal Educator with her expertise in gynecological and menstrual health concerns based on advanced functional and integrative training from herbalist-midwife-MD Aviva Romm.
Samantha began this journey as a health care provider when she was a teenager in the 90’s after her own struggles with debilitating menstrual cramps and the physical sensations associated with anxiety. The modalities that she offers are ones she has experienced direct relief from and ones that have been providing healing in her patients.
Her private practice is dedicated and passionate about bringing quality, holistic health care to the community, with a focus on supporting mental & emotional health, the menstrual cycle & body literacy, utilizing Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, and The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®. A root cause approach is taken with mindset, lifestyle and nutrition whenever possible to help reverse underlying causes.
