DANA LAVOIE
Twenty years of practice. Over ten thousand client visits.
One passion most practitioners never explore: Helping women in midlife discover Chinese herbs matched to their specific pattern.
If you’ve felt like nothing quite fits, you’re not alone. Most women who land here have spent years searching—trying every suggestion, working with smart practitioners—and still wondering what’s missing.
What I’ve learned: it’s not about more effort. It’s about finding the right match for your body—and that’s where things can finally start to shift.
My mission is to raise awareness about the power of Chinese herbs for menopause—and make practical, trustworthy guidance accessible for any woman who wants it.

Clients Say
The Baseline Reset
"Peri-menopausal PMS is no joke. I used to be in bed for two days every month in so much pain I could barely move. After four weeks of my protocol, I am now thriving. I haven’t missed a day of work in eight months. My overall vitality has increased to the point that I am now working with Dana on how to make my life as big and rich as possible, rather than just how to get through the month."
The Physical Relief
"I really thought the hot flashes and sweats were going to just be something I had to deal with. I could just cry with relief. I was getting those sweats where you wake up and have to change your pajamas. That's not an issue anymore. I'm sleeping all night, and I'm nice and cozy. I'm so excited the herbs are working."
The Emotional Shift
"I'm so excited to know I wasn't going crazy. My husband went from saying I was so prickly it was 'like trying to hug a porcupine' to saying the last six months have been the best ever in our relationship. I recommend these remedies to everyone, because you do not have to live with these annoying symptoms!"
MY STORY
Why I Do This Work
A Client I’ll Never Forget
Her hot flashes were so out of control, she nearly crashed her car and almost set her house on fire. She was scared to even drive her kids to school. After trying everything, she showed up in my office desperate and exhausted—like so many women do. Because I learned to match Chinese herbal formulas to her pattern, something finally shifted for her.
Watching her finally feel heard and supported didn’t just help her—it honestly blew my mind. It’s what set the direction for everything I do.
Fast Forward Twenty Years…
When perimenopause hit me, it hit hard. Looking back, I can’t imagine having gone through it without these herbs. Functional medicine helped with some things, but when it came to those relentless symptoms? The herbal approach I taught for years was what made the difference for me—and helped me feel like myself again.
I don’t believe in magic pills or overnight fixes. But I do believe every woman deserves support that actually fits. That’s what’s behind every resource and recommendation you’ll find here.
