I practice in the Virginia MN and surrounding area. I have a Master degree of Oriental Medicine. I am also an herbalist and believe that 'food is our medicine'.
I teach my patients how to enhance lifestyles and it is my belief that 'what you do the 6 days between treatments, makes the biggest impact on health and wellbeing.' I will teach you home remedies and give you insight that allows your body to heal itself.

Through the use of theories and techniques of a medicine that is thousands of years old, I will help bring you to a healthier more balanced place in your body and mind.

Each treatment is tailored to that individual moving them toward balance and their best health step by step, treatment by treatment.
