I have been studying holistic Asian healing practices for 20  years.  Yoga, Acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine have played significant roles in exploring and healing both emotional and physical challenges I have faced in my life, from tendonitis and IBS to grief and stress. 

 I chose to study and practice Acupuncture and Chinese medicine after my first child was born.  I struggled with hormonal imbalance and fertility challenges.  Acupuncture and herbal medicine were a regular part of my life in the years it took to conceive my daughter.  I used acupuncture to help boost fertility and support the efficacy of Western treatments, but it was also a way to practice self-care and compassion, to relieve stress, and to maintain a sense of action and control over a process that can otherwise feel medicalized and disempowering.  I used Acupuncture throughout both of my pregnancies to stave off  nausea and fatigue, and for relief of various aches and pains.  My fertility challenges, pregnancies, and the births of my children were transformative in every way and are the reasons I chose this path.  I am blessed to have had a wide range of experiences on my road to motherhood and can truly relate to pregnant and postpartum patients, those trying to conceive, and those just aiming to find balance in their bodies.

While the focus of my Acupuncture practice leans toward those with ovaries, I strongly believe in the need for gender affirming care and strive to offer a safe and healing space for members of the LGBTQ+ community.

It is my joy to help remove the layers of discomfort, pain, and dis-ease that keep us from accessing the intrinsic potential within and experiencing our optimal health and vitality.
