We start you on a collaborative journey toward health. But what is health? According to the World Health Organization: Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

At Tranquil Waters we understand this and we will customize a wellness plan that can realistically integrate into your life, while at the same time maintaining accountability for results between you and your practitioner.

We are a wellness center with a staff of 6 acupuncturists, 3 massage therapists and a staff of yoga therapists. We has a Chinese herbal pharmacy in house. Offering Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Therapy.

I am here to provide a comfortable, safe and peaceful health environment that will facilitate beneficial treatment outcomes appropriate to your health goals.

My approach is to create a professional relationship between myself and the patient that allows us to talk about what is showing up, how this can be different and what steps we can take to get there.

I believe that improving our quality of life as we choose can be filled with joy through healthy change.
