About Me:
I came to acupuncture after an exhaustive journey with several major health problems. I landed at the Mayo Clinic and even their help felt unsatisfactory. I began a search for a sustainable healthcare model that would not only help me to recover but to maintain and prevent once I reached my goals. I believed that this model should include a nurturing environment free of the judgment that I often encountered along the way, that to be this sick I must have done something wrong. It is not for us as healthcare practitioners to judge someone else’s journey. We do not know, sometimes the life lesson is digging your way out of ill health, not how you got there. Maybe you made all the right choices, yet you are still sick. That doesn’t mean you are defective. I desire to help those that have felt that discouragement. My best practitioners along the way were my cheerleaders –celebrating my successes and helping me to climb higher. These practitioners believed that my healthcare was a collaborative effort. I believe that the work I do is a team effort. In creating an open environment and providing tools for patient involvement; I believe the patient can be empowered and achieve a new level of health. I graduated with honors from the Traditional Chinese Medical College of Hawaii (now known as HICOM) and am licensed in the state of Hawaii as well as in Indiana. I practiced for two years in Hawaii upon graduation before returning to my roots in the Midwest. During my four years at TCMCH, I also studied one-on-one with a highly-skilled Japanese Meridian Therapist and attended several seminars in Traditional Japanese Acupuncture. Because of this unique education, I blend a variety of techniques in my practice, fusing Chinese with Japanese acupuncture. Prior to attending TCMCH, I studied under a Naturopath in Indiana, learning vital information about nutrition and supplements. I have also studied energetic medicine at length over the past 11 years. The style of acupuncture I gravitate towards is a gentle one, incorporating the use of smaller needle gauges, shallow insertion, and no manipulation of the needles once inserted. In my practice I blend acupuncture with various techniques, including many styles of moxibustion, extensive energy work, dietary and lifestyle advice, and Japanese non-insertive techniques using tools like the Enshin and Teishin. This style works well for almost any person, or condition, but it can be especially useful in treating children, the elderly, and those that are afraid of needles. EDUCATION:
