Gentle and effective acupuncture, moxibustion, and Kampo herbal medicine.

I have been in practice for over 16 years. I am currently practicing in Saguaro Clinic and specialize in pain relief, working with Veterans on a variety of emotional and physical health issues, elder care, cancer treatment support and fertility support. I have 40 years of experience in herbal and nutritional supplement use, including extensive training in Chinese Herbs and Homeopathic remedies.

I combine a variety of acupuncture techniques with nutritional and lifestyle counseling to support your journey to health. I use a stress reduction tool called the BioscanSRT and a cold laser for a needle-free acupuncture experience.

I also use the Bioscan MSA device, a computerized analysis measuring frequencies from acupuncture meridians on the body. A flat probe is used on the fingers and toes to obtain these readings. Since the acupuncture meridians have pathways to organs alongside the nervous system, we can use this method to reach our goal: a balanced system that responds appropriately to stress and increased health.

A reading of 50 indicates that the organ/meridan is balanced. Readings above or below 50 indicate that a chronic or inflammatory process going on with the organ/meridian. Acupuncture, whole food nutrition, homeopathics, and herbal remedies are used to bring the body into balance once again. This is a comprehensive program for health which requires a commitment to making certain lifestyle changes and regular treatment.

I enjoy what I do and hope you will join us at Saguaro Clinic for support in your continuing journey toward perfect health.

We work with women and men of all ages and backgrounds. Treatments are designed to be passageways with recurring treatments fine-tuning the health choice directives. Evaluation, clinical ministrations and practiced remedial lifestyle and nutritional choices lead to overall improved health benefits tailored to an individual’s routines and life experiences. Modified behaviors and awareness may prevent injuries for those who engage in intense sports and other rigorous activities. Other clients suffering from chronic health problems, such as autoimmune disorders or diabetes, are often able to reassert control over health management issues previously thought to be ungovernable.
