I have a particular appreciation for the seasons of life when the body is changing and the old ways of understanding it no longer quite fit, whether that is navigating your menstrual cycle, trying to conceive, pregnancy and postpartum, hormonal shifts, stress, grief, or simply feeling different in your body as you get older. I want my patients to feel more connected to their own signals and more confident in responding to them.
My work is grounded in East Asian medicine and shaped by over 10 years of clinical experience, with a particular focus on hormonal health, digestion, reproductive health, nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, pain, and facial rejuvenation. I combine acupuncture with Chinese dietary therapy and lifestyle guidance when appropriate, always adapting the treatment to the person in front of me.
Facial rejuvenation is another part of my practice that I love because it brings these ideas together. Rather than thinking of the face as separate from the rest of the body, I look at circulation, tension, stress, digestion, hormones, sleep, and overall vitality as part of the picture. The goal is not to erase signs of having lived, but to support the health and expression of the face from the inside out.
I practice from a trauma-informed and gender-inclusive perspective, and I believe good treatment begins with being genuinely attentive to the person in front of me. Acupuncture gives us a way to slow down, notice what the body is communicating, and work with it rather than against it.
