Here at our Rockville, MD acupuncture center, we specialize in a different style of acupuncture therapy, not widely available. This method is more than 2000 years old and comes from the I Ching, one of the oldest books in the world. This method has several names such as: I Ching Acupuncture, The Balance Method, or Distal Point Acupuncture. No matter what you call it, the effects often seem miraculous to patients.

We commonly use points that are distant from the site of the symptom. Pain relief frequently occurs in seconds and long lasting relief over a series of treatments is usually at least 80%.

We have successfully treated patients with a wide variety of health conditions over the last twenty years, and we can help you too!

"The secret to health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly" - Buddha

I help active adults, like you, solve chronic health issues and improve quality of life through acupuncture, manual therapies, herbs, and corrective exercise. I have natural solutions for your health concerns. I work with you to transform your posture, breathing, movement, and the health of your tissues so that you can enjoy the pain-free, energetic, engaged life you crave.

While I see a vast array of conditions, I specialize in treating pelvic floor conditions such as incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, diastasis recti, prostatitis, and erectile dysfunction. You deserve a quality of life that is solid, dependable. Live every day without fear. No more holding back while playing with your grandchildren. No more planning activities around access to bathrooms.

I combine physical medicine, acupuncture , osteopathic manual techniques (cranio-sacral therapy, visceral manipulation, myofascial therapy, Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage), and Traditional Chinese Medical herbal formulas or supplements in each session in order to give you the most thorough, well-rounded treatment, individually tailored to your constitution, body type, and health concerns.

It’s time to get your groove on—because your quality of life matters.

I am here to provide a comfortable, safe and peaceful health environment that will facilitate beneficial treatment outcomes appropriate to your health goals.

My approach is to create a professional relationship between myself and the patient that allows us to talk about what is showing up, how this can be different and what steps we can take to get there.

I believe that improving our quality of life as we choose can be filled with joy through healthy change.
