Guiding You Back to Your Innate Healing Potential

I offer acupuncture and Chinese Medicine services that guide you back to your innate healing potential. The first step to healing is coming back home to yourself. My practice is designed to reconnect you to your body, emotions and spirit to heal both the physical and energetic root causes behind your symptoms.

Awakening Your Body’s Wisdom

I hold a nurturing and gentle space to explore all your symptoms and then I create an individualized treatment plan which continues to evolve with each session. We will work together at your body’s pace, which is often slower than the pace of our minds, so your body’s wisdom can reawaken and empower your healing journey. My priority is to meet you as the unique person that you are and to help you live a more healthy, peaceful and joyful life.

Supporting Emotional Wellness and Women’s Health

I work with a wide-range of health concerns, with a specialized focus in emotional wellness and women’s health. These two areas are not adequately supported for most people and I have witnessed the life-changing benefits of holistic medicine in these areas, both personally and professionally!

Women’s Health

Women deserve healthcare that truly helps them resolve the issues that are often misunderstood and under-treated, including PMS, painful period cramps, irregular cycles, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, infertility and many more conditions. I use a customized combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional support, simple lifestyle changes, cycle tracking and energetic womb healing. Together, we will empower your body’s ability to have regular, pain-free menstrual cycles, natural conception, healthy pregnancies and a graceful menopausal transition.

Emotional Wellness

One of the biggest struggles that we experience in our modern lives is managing chronic stress and unprocessed trauma, which often manifest in anxiety and depression and can lead to other long-term health issues. Through acupuncture, guided mindfulness, breathing exercises and energy medicine, I guide you to become aware of how your emotions live in your body and help you heal them at their source. From this place of embodied knowing, all healing is possible (and probable!)

Education and Background

My passion for merging traditional and modern medicine emerged while simultaneously completing a B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Akron and a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program. During this time, I realized the beautiful balance that is possible between both the physical and energetic aspects of life. As a result, I was drawn to study Chinese Medicine because of its traditional roots and recognized effectiveness. I earned my Master’s of Classical Chinese Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in 2019. I am a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Oregon and board-certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). My own healing journey inspired me to deepen my education in additional modalities to support women’s health and emotional wellness, including Mayan Abdominal Massage, Breathwork, Energy Medicine and Reiki. I also completed a two year training to become a Fertility Awareness Educator (FAE) and Holistic Reproductive and Sexual Health Educator at The Well School of Body Literacy, and I am a certified member of the Association of Fertility Awareness Professionals (AFAP).

Outside of Work

You can find me out in nature, cooking nutrient-dense meals, dancing and spending quality time with loved ones.
