About Me
Sweet Relief
Nothing fulfills me more than helping someone to reach their health goals. The miraculous transformations I witness in my patients inspire me to share this medicine with everyone I meet.
Also, the joy and relief my patients feel when they get off the table motivate me to continue making this my life’s work.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
People often ask me how I got into Chinese Medicine. For many years, I suffered from Celiac disease, anxiety, and depression. Chronic pain plagued me as well, until I tried it myself.
My personal transformation has taken many years, but I can attest to how acupuncture and herbs have helped me consistently. I can’t wait for you to enjoy their benefits as well.
More About Me
Scaling the Scaffold
My training began long ago with Qi cultivation, meditation, and massage therapy – which I studied in Seattle in 2002. After earning my National Certification in body work and manual therapy, I began specializing in lymphatic drainage and myofascial release.
I spent many years treating injuries and chronic pain while gaining plenty of experience working with connective and soft tissue. This clinical experience paved the way to a better understanding of the meridians of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
With several years of learning how to feel and see with my hands, I excelled in my Master’s program at Yo San University. Being able to offer both massage therapy and the tools of Chinese Medicine enhances the results my patients feel. And if you are afraid of needles, no problem! I can offer effective treatment with acupressure too.
Savoring the Summit
Herbal medicine was the biggest breakthrough for me, though – learning how to treat my metabolism the right way completely changed my life. Anxiety and depression continued to be a problem for me, however, there was a light at the end of the tunnel it seemed.
After completing my Master’s degree, I continued my training with another Chinese Medicine psychologist, Dr. Yang, who taught techniques for diagnosing and treating mental health with herbs and acupuncture. From these experiences, I was able to identify and treat the source of my own mental emotional imbalance and learn to help others using the same methods.
My partnership with Dr. Yang also led to an invitation to join the Executive Council in charge of the Specialty Committee of Mental Diseases held by the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies in Harbin, China.
The Committee highlighted my work on treating schizophrenia with electro-acupuncture in their research publication in 2018. During the same year, I graduated summa cum laude from Pacific College of Health Sciences as a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
Continuing the Crusade
Since then, I’ve teamed with other practitioners nationwide to offer education and guidance as the Clinical Director for the American Institute of Mental Health in Traditional Chinese Medicine (AIMHTCM).
As part of this team, in 2020, I received an invitation to join another Executive Council in charge of the Specialty Committee on Psychosomatic Disorders, also held by the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies.
Our work focuses on training other practitioners to expand our medicine and enable us to help even more people.
Back at the Ranch
When I’m not focused on spreading the word about this medicine, I enjoy quiet time for myself, taking any opportunity for recharging in nature.
I love to hike and camp, especially when the wildlife comes out to play. I also enjoy gardening and studying permaculture design.
Connecting with nature is an important part of wellness. To me, its value is immeasurable.
