As dedicated health practitioners, we wholeheartedly believe that your health is your most precious resource and most valuable asset. Without good health, your quality of life is diminished and it’s hard to feel content. Approaching wellness from an integrative, holistic manner, we strive to eliminate the causes of disease and illness while promoting wellness education.

Combining the efforts of general practitioners with nutritional experts, functional medicine associates, and others, our staff works to improve the body/mind/spirit connection to help elevate wellness levels throughout the entire body.

From chiropractic treatments and acupuncture to IPT cancer therapy, we work in partnership with the patients themselves, allowing them to take ownership in their own treatment plan while learning more about the integrative nature of the human body. Our focus is to treat the underlying cause of disease and illness, alleviating symptoms and pain through holistic healing.

Here at the Gentle Wellness Center, we are driven by a mission to empower consumers and practitioners both through education, training, and research. We are here to assist each patient on their journey to optimal wellness.

What We Do:

Personalized Life-Style Medicine - everyone gets a personalized treatment for their conditions. Acupuncture treatments are created-designed according to the diagnosis. For example: two patients with migraines may receive different treatments and herbs because the root cause may be different.

Holistic Health Care - we treat the whole person including their symptoms. We offer a complete Holistic health care system that is effective and natural.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) includes - Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Nutritional Guidance/Therapy, Lifestyle Coaching, Meditation, and Qi Gung. All these therapies bring the body into balance to heal itself.

Acupuncture awakens your healing energy to heal your body, mind, and spirit. When using the herbs in conjunction with Acupuncture, the effectiveness of both increases.

TCM Wellness Project helps patients to understand what they can do to slow the process of aging and be healthy.

The methods used at my practice are aimed toward giving the body synergism—not just treating symptoms temporarily or numbing pain with numerous medications. I strive to help the body heal itself from within, by treating the root and not just the branch of a problem. I use a wide variety of modalities that best serve the individual needs of the patient: acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, herbal formulas, Tui Na (Asian Bodywork), and Kinesiotaping. These methods can be integrated with Western approaches as well. Your treatment will be a partnership: discussed, understood, and agreed upon. While a particular procedure may be indicated for specific purposes, I believe the path to health is best navigated complemented by knowledge and awareness of a patient’s needs and goals.
I am a diplomate of the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. I received my Master’s degree from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine, one of the most respected acupuncture schools in the United States. My coursework involved 3,000 hours of study in acupuncture, Chinese herbs and herbal formulas, as well as Western medical training, including over 900 hours of supervised clinical training.
