Ashley’s Story

Ashley had been very healthy throughout her childhood, but by her twentieth birthday, she knew something was ‘wrong’. She was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a type of hormonal imbalance, and told that she would face a lifetime of medication and be unable to conceive a child naturally. She was dealing with exhaustion, irregular cycles, depression, and hormonal flares that just wouldn’t go away. The medications the doctors prescribed had side effects that were worse than the symptoms they were supposed to treat. Ashley wanted to get to the root of her health issues, not hide her symptoms behind a regimen of pills.

When Ashley found Eastern medicine, started getting acupuncture, and took Chinese herbs, her life transformed. Her symptoms gradually disappeared while her energy and vitality returned. When she was ready to have children, she again turned to acupuncture and Eastern medicine to conceive without medical intervention. Over time, her condition has completely resolved and she now has 3 beautiful children!

After having such an incredible and transformative experience, she wanted to make Eastern medicine her life’s work and share this incredible medicine with others.

Ashley Flores (she/her) is a licensed acupuncturist and is nationally certified in Chinese herbal medicine and shiatsu therapy. She earned her Master’s in Traditional [o]riental Medicine from Pacific College in Chicago, including a 2-year internship at the Chicago Women’s Health Center. Ashley continued her studies to earn a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University in San Diego. Ashley has deepened her fertility-specialty by becoming a fellow of the Acupuncture and TCM Board of Oriental Medicine (ABORM), earned an Advanced Level Diploma in Fertility Acupuncture, and completed Dr. Aviva Romm’s Functional and Integrative Medicine Professional Training Program. Before finding her way to Eastern Medicine, she earned her BA in Linguistics from the University of Washington in sunny Seattle.

Hannah’s Story

Hannah (she/her) is a licensed acupuncturist and NCCAOM board-certified herbalist. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of South Florida and discovered the effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Medicine while working with an animal acupuncturist. Inspired by its impact, she pursued her studies further, graduating magna cum laude with a Master of Science in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine from East West College of Natural Medicine.

Hannah is particularly passionate about women’s health, having successfully regulated her own menstrual cycles through Chinese medicine, which led to the conception of her first child. This personal experience deepened her commitment to helping women achieve balance throughout various life stages—from menstrual health and fertility support to menopause. Her holistic approach integrates acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance to address each individual’s unique needs.

Beyond her practice, Hannah is dedicated to living a balanced life. She is passionate about nutrition and enjoys both individual and community-based exercise, including yoga, Pure Barre, and bouldering. She cherishes time spent with her pets, husband, and family, and finds joy in relaxing with loved ones, studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, and creating a warm home.

Now based in Chicago, Hannah is excited to support this vibrant community—especially the incredible women who entrust her with their care. She looks forward to working together to cultivate balance, health, and well-being in their lives.
