About
I have been involved in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture, and massage for more than 15 years. I can empathize and understand your health issues since I have gone through serious illnesses myself. It was through those health issues that I became interested in the health field and more so in alternative medicine. Alternative medicine is a way to help you heal that may not be addressed in Western medicine.
I am a firm believer that we are not human beings who have spiritual experiences, but are spiritual beings having a human experience. That being said, I feel it is important to treat the whole person, not just body parts and isolated issues. TCM takes into account all aspects of ones existence in this particular time/space. Body, mind and spirit.
I have been lucky enough to study with some amazing practitioners who have shaped my practice to what it is today.

"All I can say is a big "thank you!" I have suffered from RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) for 20+ years. I had three acupuncture treatments done and have not had one episode since. I will maintain treatments once per month."
