In 8 years of practice I have mastered treating diverse health issues, specializing in acute and chronic pain relief, digestive issues, women's health (fertility and menstrual issues) anxiety, allergies, migraines, insomnia, and fatigue. I am persistent, caring, thorough, and my unwavering desire to heal my patients has 100% success! By incorporating a variety of effective modalities including acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, supplements, nutrition and herbs, my treatments offer immediate relief, long-lasting results, and a deeper understanding of the source of the issue. Therefore my patients may resolutely apply the wellness tools that I provide to strengthen their future health.
My expertise in the specialized Kiiko Style of Acupuncture, a holistic method of diagnosis and treatment, allows me to precisely pinpoint the root cause of a particular issue. This method, coupled with my expertise in Chinese medicine, allows me to relieve and resolve most any health ailment.
I offer uniquely effective pain-free treatments, and ongoing consultations including nutritional and lifestyle guidance. My confidence and knowledge will help alleviate your pain, heal what ails you, and bring balance to your life. You will leave my office feeling relaxed, renewed, and vibrantly healthy.
