About acupuncture
There are 5 elements, 12 organ channel systems, over 365 points, and many, many ways of treating.
At its core, Chinese medical philosophy looks at how fluids and energy move in the body and seeks to bring the whole person into balance so life can thrive. It is a deeply practical science and art that brings together over three thousand years of experience.

My philosophy
I treat by addressing conditions at the root cause, and your body tells me what you need.
Together we support your whole person. For me it is a magical and fun experience to watch people’s lives change as they feel better.
Western biomedicine was a major component of my master’s degree, and I incorporate Western evidence-based practice as a significant part of holistic care.
