On “A League of Our Own,” host Ashley Blum sat down with Dr. Krystal Couture to explore how Chinese medicine and acupuncture support women at every turn of life’s great cycle. Here’s a closer look at their conversation—and why these time‑honored practices deserve a place in modern women’s health care.

The Pelvic Bowl: Deep Conversations with The Pelvic Acu, Dr. Krystal Lynn Couture, DPT, LAc is a video podcast dedicated to acupuncturists bringing pelvic health to the forefront of their wellness practices. In this episode we feature Dr. Ilana Harms of Ilana Harms Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine, based in Oakland and San Francisco, California.

We’re honored to share that The Pelvic Acu was recently featured in Acupuncture Today! Our article, “The Spirit of Water and the Pelvis”, explores the deep and often overlooked relationship between the water element and the pelvis from an East Asian Medicine perspective.

Dr. Krystal Lynn Couture, PT, Lac from Pure Balance in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, discussed the three pillars she uses in treating pelvic health.

Dr. Krystal Lynn Couture, PT, Lac from Pure Balance in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, discussed the results of Pelvic Care.

Dr. Krystal discusses the various conditions that can be treated with pelvic care for all genders. She explains that pelvic acupuncture can help with urinary issues such as incontinence, frequency, retention, and recurring infections, as well as rectal conditions like hemorrhoids and constipation.

Dr. Krystal discussed her approach to pelvic care services, emphasizing the importance of understanding both the patient's medical history and the patterns of their symptoms. She explained that her approach combines Western and Eastern medical perspectives, aiming to identify the root cause of the patient's condition. Dr. Krystal also highlighted the importance of setting realistic expectations and providing education about the pelvic floor. She noted that each patient's case is unique and requires a nuanced understanding of their specific condition to ensure successful treatment.

The body holds experience in layers—some are structural, some energetic, and others deeply emotional. Nowhere is this more evident than in the pelvis, a place of both power and vulnerability, stability and flow. It’s the root of movement, the center of balance, and a space where emotions and history are stored, often in ways we don’t fully recognize.

Dr. Krystal Lynn Couture, PT LAc discusses the anatomy of the pelvis, focusing on the bony structure, joints, and muscles. The pelvis consists of the iliac crests, pubic bone, and ischial tuberosities.

I am excited to share that I was recently featured on the Acupuncture Marketing School podcast which is hosted by the amazing Michelle Grasek! In this episode, I had the opportunity to discuss my passion for pelvic health acupuncture and share insights on how I have grown my practice through strategic marketing.

During the podcast episode, I share some of the key marketing strategies that have helped me build my practice, especially after relocating.

If you’re like me, you care about what’s behind the scenes of the companies you support and connect with. Transparency is essential, and I want to share with you what The Pelvic Acu stands for and what drives our work forward. Today, I’m excited to unveil our Mission Statement and Ethos—the foundation of everything we do.

Dr. Krystal joined the American Acupuncture Council for another exciting episode of TO THE POINT as guest host! She presented: Pelvic Floor and Pregnancy.

Since 2009, I’ve been on a transformative journey—a journey rooted in bringing Pelvic Care to Acupuncturists. What began as a seedling of an idea has blossomed into a mission to empower practitioners to address pelvic health challenges at their core. 🌱I teach pelvic health to acupuncturists because I believe we are uniquely positioned to treat not just the symptoms of dysfunction but its true source. This means addressing the physical, emotional, and energetic patterns that underlie pelvic health challenges.✨ My journey to this understanding has been deeply personal and profoundly transformative.

Since our launch in July 2024, some amazing things have happened! Let’s take a walk down memory lane. We are so grateful for these amazing opportunities!
