I have always had an interest in holistic and alternative medicine, and was particularly drawn to the principles and philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine. When I learned about acupuncture and its ability to address a wide range of health concerns, I knew it was the perfect path for me.

I practice traditional Chinese acupuncture, which is based on the principles of yin and yang, Qi, and the five elements. I also incorporate other modalities such as cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and electro-acupuncture.

I use a comprehensive approach to determine the appropriate treatment plan for a patient. This includes taking a detailed health history, conducting a physical examination, and analyzing the pulse and tongue to gain insight into the patient's overall health and specific imbalances. From there, I develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses the root cause of their condition.

I commonly treat a variety of conditions including pain, infertility, digestive issues, stress and anxiety, and respiratory conditions. I also have experience in treating conditions such as addiction, chronic fatigue, and hypertension.

During an acupuncture treatment, the patient will lie down on a comfortable treatment table and I will insert fine needles into specific points on the body. The needles may be left in place for 20-30 minutes while the patient relaxes. Some patients may feel a mild sensation when the needles are inserted, but most feel very little or no discomfort at all.

The number of treatments needed before a patient sees improvement can vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual patient. Some patients may see improvement after just a few treatments, while others may need a series of treatments over a longer period of time. I work closely with patients to monitor their progress and adjust treatment as needed.
