If you've ever tried to describe what's wrong and ended up saying “I know this sounds weird, but” — you're in the right place.
I help women figure out what their bodies are actually saying.
I'm Deborah Mizeur — a clinical herbalist and nutritionist working at the intersection of Classical Chinese Medicine and Western herbal and nutritional medicine.
The symptoms that bring women to me are often awkward, bizarre, or mysterious. Not because they're unusual, but because they haven't been looked at the right way yet. Hot flashes that don't respond to anything tried. A pregnancy not progressing as it should. Grief that has settled into the body and won't move. Cycles, moods, digestion, energy, sleep — behaving in ways nobody has taken the time to fully understand.
I take the time.
A different kind of looking
In Classical Chinese Medicine, symptoms are not problems to be suppressed. They are information — about how your life force is moving, where it's getting stuck, where it's being depleted. My process for finding the root is methodical and specific. Two women with identical symptoms may leave with completely different recommendations, because the root is never the same twice.
The conversation that gets us there may go in directions that don't seem immediately obvious. I'll ask about things that feel unrelated. I stay curious. People tell me they can share anything without fear of judgment — and that the questions I ask have a way of unlocking something they didn't know they were carrying.
You might be in the right place if -
You've tried the remedies, followed the advice, and are still searching. Your doctors have run the tests and come up short. You know something has shifted and you want to understand it, not just survive it. You're ready to explore what's actually going on rather than manage what's on the surface.
Though my practice focuses on women, I receive referrals to work with all kinds of people. If you think we might be a good fit, reach out.
Ready when you are.
Most people start with a free 20-minute conversation. We figure out together whether this is the right fit and which door into the practice makes sense for you. If you already know, you're welcome to book directly.
