Welcome!

My name is Maggie Flood. I’m a California state licensed Chinese Medicine Doctor / Acupuncturist & Herbalist, certified Somatic Sex Educator, Holistic Pelvic Care™ provider and Visceral Manipulation practitioner.

My story starts over a decade ago, when I developed severe pelvic pain and painful sex after a series of traumatic events, leading to a struggle with endometriosis. In my long journey through healing I began to understand that whatever was happening in my body was in direct relationship to my mind, emotions, past experiences and family lineage. Through dedication to honoring my body and my pain as my teacher, I’ve learned that no two aspects of body-mind-spirit existence are ever separate, and that in order to truly heal we must be present to every aspect of ourselves, our histories, and our relationship to others. For over a decade I have been on a mission to bring this message and hands-on healing to women in all phases of life.

We forget that female health and sexuality are so incredibly multidimensional, and are overlooked in the wake of fertility and pregnancy being the main focus of a woman’s health throughout her life. We are programmed to ignore our sexual and pelvic health until we want to have children, only to discover that we have emotional, physical and spiritual knots to unravel. Through the combined efforts of acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, boundary work and embodied pelvic care we can offer our bodies the full spectrum healing necessary to achieve all we’re meant to, at every stage of womanhood.

This is why I created Sacral Spaces, an experience through which we can explore the most sacred area of ourselves through the lens of embodiment, where we can learn to release the shame that brings us physical and emotional pain, and bring us to the place where our bodies will allow themselves to heal. My life’s work is to assist in the creation of a movement of somatic understanding, to help give rise to a new kind of body empowerment for women, by women.
