Menopause is often greeted with mixed feelings. Sure, the days of your monthly cycles are ending, but the price you pay in terms of hot flashes, anxiety, sleep problems, and more, can be a high one. Here’s how acupuncture can ease this transition.
Meet Vonda
Vonda Muncy, LAc, DiplAc, provides acupuncture at her practice, Soul Potential Acupuncture & Wellness in Castle Rock, Colorado, where patients find relief from their pain and optimal healing for the full scope of physical and emotional challenges affecting their health. As a highly trained acupuncturist and traditional Chinese medicine specialist, Vonda welcomes all patients including the LGBTQ community.
Vonda’s journey to acupuncture began in her younger years when she experienced recurring, painful bladder infections that failed to respond to medical care. As medical doctors continued to do nothing but prescribe multiple rounds of ineffective antibiotics, she turned to homeopathic care, receiving treatment that immediately relieved her pain and healed the bladder infection. Eventually, her need to take the remedy was reduced and she rarely, if ever, got another bladder infection.
While Vonda continued seeing the homeopath for other conditions, she found that the remedies sometimes worked, but an effective remedy couldn’t always be found. That’s when she tried acupuncture.
Her acupuncturist effectively helped her with a range of problems. Whether Vonda had a common cold, debilitating menstrual cramps, problems during pregnancy, or shoulder pain due to a repetitive use injury, she always felt better following her acupuncture session. Along with symptom relief, she also felt a sense of well-being. At that point, Vonda knew it was her destiny to become an acupuncturist.
Acupuncture is the go-to treatment for every ailment affecting Vonda’s family. As she became an acupuncturist, she effectively treated her husband’s chronic back pain, decreasing the frequency of his pain and weaning him away from pain killers and muscle relaxers. Now he never needs medications or misses work due to back pain.
Her love of acupuncture is only exceeded by her love of learning. She is completing a second master’s degree in Chinese medicine while concurrently working on her acupuncture and Chinese medicine doctorate. She also spends a significant amount of time attending continuing education courses, learning advanced and highly specialized acupuncture techniques. She’s one of a few acupuncturists who have completed advanced training in Micro Acupuncture 48 with Dr. Andy Rosenfarb, a leader in the field of ophthalmologic acupuncture.
When Vonda isn’t in the office helping patients or learning more about acupuncture, she enjoys Aikido and spending time camping, biking, and hiking with her husband and two active teenagers.
