Good Shen is here to help.

We recognize the importance of specialized 2SLGBTQIA+ health care as we know that transgender, gender-fluid, and non-binary folks often face multiple barriers to accessing healthcare.

We’ve created a positive and inclusive practice using acupuncture and herbal medicine to support queer and transgender health and wellness. We can help support you in various stages of your identity journey, whether you decide to pursue a medical transition or not.

We can help with emotional wellness in any stage of the process, and can help to reduce the side effects of hormone therapy, such as mood swings, hot flashes, insomnia, weight changes, headaches, hypertension, fluid retention, acne, thyroid dysfunction, and menstrual irregularities.

Recovery from gender-affirming surgery:

• Pre-surgical preparation and care

  • Improve blood circulation and boost Qi and Blood to improve surgical outcome and recovery

  • Reduce stress and anxiety

• Post-surgical recovery

  • Provide post-surgical support to reduce pain and dependence on painkillers, and speed up recovery time

  • Soften scar tissue, reduce scarring

  • Improve circulation, speed up recovery

  • Balance hormonal symptoms pre- and post-surgery

We’re committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and affirming environment for people of all gender identities.
