I came to the practice of Chinese Medicine as a result of a life-long desire to become a health care provider, coupled with an equally long search for a comprehensive healing system that would incorporate the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the body. My undergraduate science education led me to understand that Western medicine, although incredibly advanced in some areas, lacked an understanding of how the physical component of the body integrated with the other elements of being human.  I discovered acupuncture at the Bastyr Clinic in Seattle, Washington in 1996, and it was love at first sight.  In 2007, I completed a Masters of Science degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York, where I studied acupuncture, herbology, Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Tui Na (Chinese massage). In pursuit of furthering my education, I have studied with numerous teachers including Richard Tan (Balance Method Acupuncture), Martha Lucas (Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture), Toby Daly (Sa’am Acupuncture) and am currently in the Graduate Mentorship Program with Sharon Weizenbaum.

I believe that Chinese medicine and yoga are extremely practical tools for alleviating a wide variety of ailments, including pain, insomnia, anxiety, menstrual disorders and many, many other things.
