My interest in traditional Chinese medicine stemmed from my love of plants and herbal medicine. For as long as I can remember I’ve been mixing herbal remedies to treat my own ailments through a more natural route. I was on a search to dig deeper into herbal medicine when I found acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I was fascinated in the way TCM used the Five elements and meridians to identify patterns and treat the whole system, not just the symptoms.

Through my own experiences with gut and menstrual health I've developed a keen interest in treating women’s health, fertility, gut imbalances, and mental-emotional health. I found that acupuncture was the one thing that tamed my debilitating menstrual pains and made me realize how little I knew about my body as a woman. So often we see people reaching out for alternative medicine as a last resort, and it ends up being the thing that helps them most!

I want more people to experience the magic of acupuncture and Chinese medicine not only for treating chronic issues but as a preventative source in maintaining balance in all aspects of life, using traditional Chinese medicine modalities such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and gua sha.

I hope to inspire your innate self-healing abilities on your way to the most optimal version of yourself.
