Healing often starts with relief of pain. 

The greater potential for healing can then be found by looking deeper within yourself to relieve areas where you’re blocked or stuck or simply not flowing with who you’re really here to be, in tune with your own vision –  the life you’re meant to live. 

This is treating the root cause of the problem, and not only the symptom.

It’s not just physical. We live in physical bodies, and yet within us we also have our mind, our emotions, and our spirit. In my work, I help to relieve your physical pain and dysfunction, while going even deeper to the treat the root cause behind the ailment, to restore balance. My approach to healing optimizes your health at all levels, helping you to live a life without pain, and rooted in inner peace, joy, love, beauty and true self-expression.

I do this using Chinese Medicine, Breathwork, and Holistic Healing. I work with each person according to your individual needs, using the healing approach best suited to you. 

You may come for Acupuncture and learn how Herbal Medicine can help you. 

Or you may come for nutritional support and learn how Acupuncture can work for you as well. 

Breathwork Healing is a form of active meditation that is accessible to everyone, and which helps restore balance to your nervous system while connecting you with your own innate healing power, offering the opportunity for profound transformation.

Why Work With Me?

My practice is not for everyone. I have cultivated my own approach to treatment that differs from most conventional acupuncture practices. 

I do not simply insert needles and then leave you alone in a room for the duration of the session. And yet, you will usually experience a period of deep rest during your treatment.

I work with each patient one-on-one for the full length of the session. My work with each patient encompasses all aspects of integrative healing – body, mind, emotions and spirit. While addressing any specific symptom or complaint that brings you in, I will always consider and include all aspects of you as a whole person, and treat what I find. I’ll also look with you at lifestyle factors that you can use for your healing – stretches, exercise, diet, sleep, and so on. 

I am very skilled at pain relief but I am not a pain relief technician, focusing only on the place that hurts the most. Your whole body is interconnected so healing any one area includes evaluating and treating any other areas related to that issue.

I will explain to you what I’m finding in order to help you understand what is happening in the treatment session as well as what you can do to support your own recovery.

I may at times suggest incorporating an additional approach to your healing, such as manual physical therapy, to work in synergy with acupuncture, and refer you to a qualified provider. At times I suggest another approach altogether if I feel it will serve you better.

I offer you my skill as a complimentary medical provider cultivated over more than 25 years of clinical experience, extensive training and mentorship, continuing education and a life path rooted in healing.
