I find inspiration from all aspects of holistic healing. In 2010, I received my degree in Massage Therapy from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon.  This laid a strong foundation in a therapeutic, western style of massage.  This included deep tissue, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, sports massage, and injury & pain management. 

 Along with my knowledge of western massage, I have a deep appreciation and interest in eastern modalities and energetic healing.  These studies include yoga, qigong, traditional Thai massage, tuina, shiatsu, and Reiki.  

I'm a graduate of the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, where I received a Masters degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine in 2017.  As an acupuncturist and herbalist, I'm able to treat a variety of conditions: ranging from musculoskeletal pain, mental-emotional issues, digestive issues, women and men's health, addiction/recovery, and more.  My patients can expect to find a balance of deep relaxation, while also receiving focused and detailed therapeutic work on areas of concern or pain. 

These studies help support my commitment to practice truly holistic therapies- enhancing and uplifting physical, mental and emotional states, while contributing to an overall sense of well-being.
