I’m a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist with over a decade of experience supporting people on their wellness journeys. My practice is grounded in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which views the body as an interconnected whole. It aims to restore balance by supporting the flow of qi, regulating the organ systems, and addressing both the root and the branch of illness. I specialize in musculoskeletal support, chronic and acute pain, as well as mental-emotional issues, digestive concerns, autoimmune conditions, women’s and men’s health, and more.

I began my journey in the healing arts as a massage therapist, earning my degree in 2010. This gave me a strong foundation in therapeutic techniques like deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and sports massage. Over time, I felt called to expand my understanding of the body, leading me to pursue and complete a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine in 2017 from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine.

In addition to acupuncture, herbs and bodywork, my practice is shaped by studies in quantum shiatsu, qigong, yoga, Reiki, Thai massage, and tuina. These modalities continue to inform my understanding of the body as an energetic and physical system, and they guide the presence I bring into each treatment.
