I am a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist and I use integrative medicine to support my patient's' general health. My experience includes aiding in stress management, treating colds and boosting the immune system, balancing hormones and working with fertility, PMS and menopause, treating problems during pregnancy and optimizing digestion. An important part of my work is supporting my patients' emotional well being. I aim to create time and space for emotional processing as well as physical healing.

I am a California Board and Nationally certified acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist. My specialty is in emotional concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, and PTSD. I also specialize in Women's Health, including menopause, PMS, irregular/painful menses, breast health, and fertility issues. I also practice sports medicine techniques, including motor point and e-stim therapy. I work successfully with pain management, digestive issues, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, as well as many other concerns that arise from stress and basic imbalances in our bodies and minds.

I have been a Five Element acupuncturist for 35 years. I am deeply committed to help you with your physical symptoms, as well as to support you to live your life with more vitality and ease in all ways. I believe one of my personal strengths, as well as a strength of the Five Element Acupuncture approach, is to see each person as the unique individual that you are, and tailor each treatment to strengthen you in body, mind, and spirit.

I offer you comprehensive, caring consultations and treatment. These are tailored to you specifically. I use blood, saliva and stool tests to identify the cause of your illness and track your improvement. A complete Chinese Medicine exam; pulse and tongue reading is available at each visit along with some muscle testing. Each session gives you a sense of progress and a path toward a specific resolution in your healing process. During your treatment, you will experience acupuncture, magnet therapy, massage, hypnosis or guided meditation. You are invited to become quiet and still so that your healing nature is activated.

I am a practitioner of traditional Japanese acupuncture and have studied extensively with master acupuncturist Koji Ichihashi of the Kurumadani School of Japan. Japanese acupuncture technique involves shallow insertion of very thin, delicate needles into points along the Meridians of the body. It is a relaxing spa-like treatment that is gentle and essentially pain free. This style incorporates medical Shiatsu massage while the needles are in the body. I give my patients self-care education, Qigong (energy movement), nutritional counseling and suggest Chinese herbal therapies and/or supplements in a nurturing environment.

I believe people can heal themselves when given the right plan and priorities. I have been in practice for close to twenty years focusing on Acupuncture and Sports Medicine. During this time I have worked with professional athletes, musicians, recreational athletes, adults and children. My passion is taking someone who is acutely out of balance and seeing them through to full function. I do this by integrating acupuncture, acupressure, exercise, nutrition, breathing techniques, herbal therapies, and nutriceuticals.
