About the Practice

Effective healing always involves collaboration. The dynamic created between client and practitioner is truly what brings this medicine alive. When it’s the right fit, the results are extraordinary.

Sometimes back pain is just back pain. But oftentimes the symptom is the proverbial finger pointing at the moon. A good acupuncturist will help you get some pain relief. A great practitioner will take you to the source. When we are open to source, there is no limit to the amount of healing that can be achieved.

I am passionate about East Asian medicine and approach my practice as a collaborative, dynamic exploration. I believe in health projects, rather than health problems. I specialize in the meeting of the shen (spirit body) with the elemental physical, and have had phenomenal results working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other imbalances of the nervous system. I also treat all forms of musculoskeletal issues.

I graduated from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica. I am a licensed acupuncturist in California and Hawaii and an NCCAOM Diplomate of acupuncture and herbal medicine. In Spring 2023, I completed a two-year program of study in Classical Chinese herbal medicine at the White Pine Institute.

Over the last decade-plus, I’ve been fortunate to know a stream of incredible teachers and mentors who ignited and nurtured my passion for Chinese medicine. Now, I get to share the infinite depth of my fascination and love of this thousands-of-years-old healing tradition.

Whatever your reason for seeking treatment, whether your concern is with the physical, emotional, or spirit body, I know that this medicine has so much to offer you. Come as you are, and let’s find out together!
