Are you seeking a practitioner who's a) Passionate about thoroughly analyzing and researching your case, b) Committed to helping you achieve excellent results, and c) Eager to go the extra mile to ensure every patient is empowered with tools for long-term wellness? You've come to the right place. If pain is holding you back, sleep problems have you frazzled, or women, if it seems your monthly cycles are hijacking your life, a different reality is possible! Helping you reclaim your quality of life is my utmost priority.
Once we begin our work together, you will receive a report of findings which establishes benchmarks, sets goals for your treatments, and allows clear result-tracking. Customized suggestions for herbal medicine, supplements, exercise, nutrition, and other self-care options will assist you in maximizing your treatment outcomes.
I invite you to call and schedule a free phone-consultation. This will help both of us evaluate whether your case and my expertise are a good match. Should we choose to work together, convenient morning, evening, and Saturday appointments are available.

I have been interested in Oriental Medicine for over 20 years and have incorporated acupressure, shiatsu and acupuncture in my previous massage and chiropractic practices. Since finishing my studies at the University of Bridgeport Acupuncture Institute and moving to Glens Falls, I have concentrated on acupuncture although I draw on my previous experience to help patients. I feel that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is more than just acupuncture but a way of life that includes exercise, diet and mental outlook. Acupuncture is a powerful tool that allows people to deal with the stresses of everyday living: work, family, aging relatives, what's going on in the world. Addressing all these demands takes a toll; TCM and acupuncture gives people a mechanism to heal themselves and a place where they can begin to bring balance back into their lives.

I enjoy using my experience to work with patients so they can enjoy living and be less burdened down by the demands of their life.

If you are curious about acupuncture and TCM, contact me and come in for a complementary consultation.

Welcome to Red Lotus Wellness Center, a Premier Integrative Medical Practice in Carlsbad and La Jolla.

On your first visit you will meet with one of our providers, where you can share your health concerns and they can learn about your unique health and wellness goals. If it feels like the right fit for you, they will perform a thorough examination, including a detailed medical history. The second visit to the office is a chance to review the results of the tests, performed and to present any abnormal findings. You will be given our best recommendation for resolving these problems and reaching your health and wellness goals. We take great care in listening keenly with each and every aspect of your health concerns, which allows us the confidence to know with certainty whether we can help or not, and our results speak for themselves; just take a look at our Testimonials Section.

I have been practicing acupuncture for over 35 years. Area's of expertise include fertility, treatment of pain (Acupuncture 1,2,3), treatment of allergies (NAET), headaches, and women issues.

At Santa Cruz CORE, we have a passion for what we do. We make an effort to spend significant time and energy with each patient to ensure their needs are met. For us, it’s more than just acupuncture; our acupuncturists work with multiple healing modalities during an acupuncture session to get you feeling better. Working to create positive change in the body, we use a combination of needling, moxa, gua sha, cupping, ear seeds, massage, and Tai Chi and Qi Gung. Each individual is treated as such, an individual with an unique body and we use our various tools to create the most healing we can in each session.
