Why I do this work

I have been practicing Classical Chinese Medicine for thirteen years now. This vocation started for me with a love of plants, of being in nature and receiving the benefits of what the Japanese call “nature bathing”. Then I started to want to know the names of the plants and what they could “do”. I sought out books on medicinal plants and started an acupressure massage program when it suddenly came together for me: what I sought for had a name and a longer than 2,000 year history - Classical Chinese medicine.

The path of study is never ending and I consider myself lucky to continue my studies with masters in my field such as Z’ev Rosenburg, Genevieve LeGoff, Elizabeth Wakefield, and Ephram Korngold.

I consider myself a full spectrum family provider. I love to treat people at all phases of life including children and babies. Treating families through the reproductive journey and beyond is my absolute joy.

Degree and License

I earned a 4 year intensive studies Masters of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego in 2010 and went on to pass my board exams and get licensed with the California Board of Acupuncture.
