Acupuncturist 

Interests

I believe that healing comes from within, and that we all have the capacity to heal ourselves. This ability to heal can be compromised by lifestyle, diet, stress, and pathogens, just to name a few. My role as a Chinese medicine practitioner and acupuncturist is to provide additional resources that assist your body’s ability to heal.

Chinese medicine has been a tremendous gift in my life, and it is my passion to share the wisdom from this ancient healing system with my patients. I strive to help my patients wherever they are in their healing process. Whether it is an acute injury or chronic health concern, I work with them to provide the necessary resources they need to heal. These resources may include acupuncture, CranioSacral therapy, Tui Na (Chinese medical massage), cupping, and exercises.
