After working the past 20 years as an Occupational Therapist in a variety of healthcare settings from hospital based rehabilitation clinics to home care service, I became interested in approaching healing from a different perspective in order to help people become empowered about their health on all levels. I found acupuncture to resonate with my belief that medicine should be judged in terms of how effective it is in understanding and treating the problem as the patient experiences it.

Our emphasis is always on helping our patients achieve their best possible health. Using a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle changes, we can often not only help with persistent conditions, but also improve a patient's general well being and happiness. We not only treat the current condition; we also focus on and address the underlying causes that prevent a patient from experiencing their full health and well being.
