I am passionate about health & wellbeing and helping people feel their best. Prior to training as an acupuncturist I worked in the field of psychology with adults and adolescents with mental health and emotional issues for over 10 years. Observing how a person's emotional health affected their physical health and how a person's physical health affected their well-being I wanted to retrain in a modality that could address both issues. I began my Acupuncture training in England and studied there for three years, before moving to the US and training for a further three years.

I've been involved with Oriental Medicine for more than 25 years. I am constantly reminded how remarkable our bodies are. I feel the body has it's own intelligence and knows how to heal itself but sometimes it forgets or needs a little impetus to get started in the healing process. I provide said impetus. I have an eclectic practice and have treated people for a wide variety of things, such as severe 3rd/4th degree burns [enabling patient to avoid skin graft], Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, osteoporosis, food allergies, facial rejuvenation, Chronic Lymes, Alpha-Gal and Dementia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7d1H9P61r0

Acupuncture in Maryland - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. Maryland acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.

Credentials for Maryland licensed acupuncturists?
A licensed acupuncturist in Maryland needs a minimum of two years college education and must complete three years of professional training and pass the State's approved licensing examination. The three year program includes both theory and hands-on clinical practice. Most States' professional training programs are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) and by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
