I practice Classical Chinese medicine, a complete system that allows me to take a focused approach to whatever you’re coming in with. The complement channels, specific to Classical Chinese medicine, provide a framework to approach issues that are acute or chronic, physical, emotional, or spiritual, inherited or acquired. Inherent in this work is the notion that no symptom stands alone, and it provides a language to decode the story your body is telling. I believe that the issues our bodies present are vehicles for transformation, that there is a deep wisdom held within that points us toward freedom and wholeness, and acupuncture is a tool for moving into the fullness of your destiny.

We start with a thorough intake. We talk about many things because it probably all matters. From there I come up with a plan based on what we’ve discussed as well as an assessment I make by feeling your pulse and looking at your tongue.

Then, the treatment commences. Acupuncture is the primary modality, but I often incorporate complementary therapies such as moxibustion, cupping, or gua sha as needed. A shift takes place within the first session. Individual factors such as how long a condition has been around or the severity of it will point us toward the course of follow up treatments.
