I am a CA state licensed and nationally certified acupuncturist specializing in women’s health care, with an emphasis on fertility enhancement and pregnancy care. I graduated from the Santa Barbara College of Oriental Medicine where I also served on the faculty. I enjoy helping my clients experience greater health and balance through gentle acupuncture, lifestyle and nutritional counseling, and Chinese herbal medicine. I use sterile, disposable needles and herbs that have been tested for pesticides, heavy metals and pharmaceuticals.

Though my emphasis is in reproductive health, I also enjoy working with men and women on all areas of health such as musculoskeletal pain, gastrointestinal issues and emotional wellness.

As an acupuncturist and hypnotherapist, my goal is to act as a catalyst for positive change in every patient. I specialize in a unique treatment that I refer to as "hypnoacupuncture," which is a combination of acupuncture and hypnotherapy. Combining the power of hypnosis with acupuncture has proven to create treatments that are effective on all levels: physical, mental, and emotional. Many patients describe these sessions as life-altering, and find them to be more deeply relaxing than anything they have ever experienced before. I treat many patients for weight-loss and smoking cessation, but I have found that these combination sessions of hypnosis and acupuncture can benefit endless issues, including depression, anxiety, and insomnia. At Healing Point Therapeutics, my mission is to have every patient leave the treatment table prepared to reach their highest potential in health and well-being.

I am a licensed acupuncturist, advocate of women's health, lover of plants and animals. I believe in reducing stress and increasing happiness. I love my job.

As an acupuncturist, I provide more than just acupuncture. I like to use my hands and cupping when muscles and tendons are sore or injured. If food and diet is an underlying cause, let's discuss realistic dietary changes that will help you to feel better right away. You're stressed? Anxious? Need to make a few changes in your life but not sure where to start? Let's talk about it.

We treat anything! Acupuncture is used to treat pain, metabolic problems, fertility, mental health and more!
