Founder & Acupuncturist

I’ve taken this journey, too

When I was 14, I was diagnosed with a women’s health condition that seemed unsolvable.

Multiple Western doctors said: put her on medication. But those pills were like a bandaid – they masked my problem without resolving it. Upping the dosage didn’t help. My issue always recurred.

I didn’t know what to do. Not until, many years later, an integrative doctor suggested acupuncture.

Within 3 months of trying acupuncture, I found my lifelong condition had resolved.

That was a huge eye-opener for me. It changed my life. 

I went on to earn my Masters in East Asian Medicine and become accredited as an Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist. My Masters training included, Traditional Chinese acupuncture, Moxibustion, Japanese Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Tuina and Shiatsu bodywork, Cupping, Gua Sha, Sotai, Ear and Scalp Acupuncture, Qi Gong and Chinese Medical Language. I always knew that I wanted to help others and I am honored to get to share the medicine that helped transform me and my life for the better.

I am passionate about working together with patients to restore balance and promote long lasting healing.
