I’m honored to be part of my patients’ healing journeys, whether I’m their first choice, a last hope, or somewhere in between. My approach is grounded in both the ancient traditions of Chinese medicine and a commitment to deeply listening to each patient’s unique needs.

My Philosophy: The Earth School Mentality

At the heart of my practice is a focus on the interplay between gut health and nervous system regulation, an essential foundation for many aspects of well-being. While this isn’t necessary for every patient, it’s always my first checkpoint, as gut health can shape everything from emotional balance to immunity.

Chinese medicine defines and describes physiological function by 5 elements: earth, water, metal, fire, and wood. Earth is represented by the spleen and stomach and the process of digestion. This includes the absorption of our food and drinks, but also the assimilation of our life events, paths, and purposes. Earth is the central pivot and anchor to all other aspects of health and functionality.

My approach also relies on pulse diagnosis, a precise and dynamic tool that I check throughout each session to assess a patient’s response to treatment. Through pulse and other diagnostic methods, I connect deeply with each patient’s energy, making adjustments that support their journey to clarity and balance. In each treatment I will spend significant time assessing a pulse presentation.

My training encompasses five distinct channels of acupuncture: sinews, luos, primary, divergent, and the eight extraordinary vessels. Unlike the primary meridians that many people know of, these channels offer access to different levels of the body’s qi and blood—from superficial muscular issues to genetic patterns. This unique approach allows me to tailor treatments at every level, whether we’re working on deep genetic imprints, enhancing blood flow and detoxification, or providing targeted release and tonification.
