I work to find the root cause of ailments so that we can bring mind and body back to balance. As a Registered Acupuncturist and holistic healthcare practitioner, I help people understand and resolve their healthcare issues so they can feel and be better. In the past I had a career that was creative, challenging and collaborative but it never resonated with who I was at the core. I’d always felt driven to help people on a more personal level and I knew that something else out there would be the right fit. But change and transition can be a struggle and the stress of feeling “stuck” can manifest physical pain. Having grown up with healthcare that included Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I went to see an acupuncturist to help manage my stress pain and those sessions ended up changing my life. Not only did my pain resolve but the more I learned about acupuncture the more I wanted to know and it wasn’t long before I realized that this was what I was truly meant to be doing. As TCM practitioners we are able to treat many common conditions that people often just accept and live with because they haven’t found an effective solution. Conditions like migraine headaches, menstrual cramps, chronic anxiety and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be debilitating and disruptive but they’re resolvable with the right treatment approach. I love my work and it’s very rewarding to be able to share my knowledge and empower people so they can take charge of their own health and improve their quality of life. I strongly believe that healthcare is a partnership between practitioner and client. I’m committed to working with you to provide relief and as well as to establish the root cause of your imbalance in order to foster long-term change and healing. I work primarily with acupuncture needles, supported by a variety of other TCM modalities including cupping, tuina massage, moxibustion, and take home therapies like auricular seed therapy, nutritional and lifestyle counseling. Every person is unique and the body’s needs shift from day to day, so treatments can vary from visit to visit.
