Elements of Balance. Operating in Westlake Village, Ca. I am a California Licensed Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist. I hold a certification in hypnotherapy, reflexology and Reiki 2nd degree. My journey has come a long way to where I am today. I spent the first 13 years of my career working in various sales and marketing roles in the semi-conductor industry. Although a great experience and quick
to climb the ladder of success, there was the feeling of something milling in my life. I came to the realization that my passion was in people & making a difference in their lives. This was the turning point in my life. My mother being a western medical nurse, I was familiar with putting the needs of others before yourself. After the .com crash and things shifting in 'my' corporate America, I wanted a change. In 2001 I enrolled at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI), the Country’s First and only Nationally Accredited Program. While in residency, I became interested in ‘Alternative Medicine’ utilizing the body, mind, spirit as a whole. I believe holistic medicine focuses on restoring balance to one’s mind-body-spirit connection, where as Western Medicine is symptom or branch based. Upon graduating, I began to explore additional holistic therapies, going hand-in-hand with hypnotherapy. Reiki and reflexology are two additional modalities or healing methods I incorporate in my healing practice to complete the mind-body-spirit circle. I wanted to take my healing practice one step further by incorporating the respected ancient healing principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I enrolled at YoSan University – Los Angeles, CA. After four years of intense study, I graduated with a Masters Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, L.Ac. Diplomat Oriental Medicine (Dipl. My mission as a holistic practitioner is to promote and facilitate a healthy balance between mind-body-spirit for my patients. I invite each patient to actively participate in their own healing process through healing treatment, education and action. I’m confident that with the combination of Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Guided Imagery and personalized healing modalities, these tools offer a powerful and effective means for replacing old patterns, with new healthy intentions.
