After over a decade as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, I can say with certainty: acupuncture is medicine that tunes the human instrument to the frequency of health. At the heart of this ancient practice lies an elegant truth: where there is no flow, there is pain. Through acupuncture, we don't simply suppress symptoms—we listen to what your body is telling us and gently guide your system back toward its natural state of dynamic balance. Each point carries its own unique frequency, and when I select points for your treatment, I'm composing a therapeutic symphony designed specifically for your needs.

What makes my practice unique is the seamless integration of multiple healing modalities— creating treatments that address body, mind, energy, and spirit simultaneously. Whether you're seeking relief from pain, anxiety, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, or pediatric support, this medicine sees you as a whole being and addresses root patterns, not just symptoms. I'm here to create a healing sanctuary where your body remembers its own wisdom and deeper patterns can be met with compassion and skillfully transformed.

The coaching I offer doesn't fit neatly into conventional categories—and that's precisely what makes it so effective. Building on over a decade as a healing practitioner - integrating shadow work, IFS and other parts work, somatic coaching techniques - I've developed an approach that meets you where the analytical mind meets the wisdom of the body, where personal transformation intersects with spiritual awakening. This isn't coaching that stays safely in goal-setting and action plans—this is coaching that dares to work with the fullness of who you are: your nervous system, energy patterns, unconscious beliefs, soul's calling, and practical life challenges all simultaneously. Through somatic awareness, developmental shadow work, and the presence I've cultivated through years of spiritual practice, I help you access aspects of yourself that may have been disconnected or unavailable.

What makes this different is my particular gift for sensing what wants to emerge in you often before you can articulate it yourself. I work with the full spectrum of human experience—your ambitious visionary self AND your scared, protective parts, your desire for success AND your longing for meaning. Whether you're navigating life transitions, leadership challenges, creative blocks, relationship patterns, or spiritual integration, shifts can happen more quickly and at deeper levels because I can work with your nervous system, energy patterns, and unconscious material simultaneously. You might find yourself not just achieving your goals, but discovering that your goals themselves transform as you come into greater contact with your authentic desires and reclaim the disowned aspects of yourself that hold tremendous creative power.

For millennia, people have been relying on the natural world for health and healing. Many of our modern day medications, like aspirin, are derived from natural plant compounds (white willow bark). Herbal medicine can be a potent part of prevention and treatment of illness, and like acupuncture, addresses both symptoms and underlying physiological patterns that are causing symptoms.

Specifically the medicinal herbalism of Chinese Medicine is quite profound and potent. Where many common and familiar “medicinal herbs” like mint, chamomile, or cramp bark may be like over the counter medicines, the herbal formulas from the Chinese Herbal Apothecary are more akin to prescription medicine. The one difference being that herbs cannot override the physiology of the body (the way pharmaceuticals can), but rather work by potentiating what the body is already capable of.

The beauty of herbal medicine is in its ability to be tailored for each individual's needs. Two different people who are suffering from the same illness, will get a custom herbal formula for their specific body.

There's a profound intelligence that lives within your body—a wisdom deeper than thought that knows how to heal and regulate without your conscious involvement. Craniosacral therapy is a way of listening to and supporting this innate healing wisdom through gentle, non-invasive touch that works with the subtle rhythms of your cerebrospinal fluid and nervous system. When we experience injury, trauma, or chronic stress, restrictions can develop like holding patterns where the body has organized itself around old wounds. Through what feels like a conversation between my hands and your body's wisdom, I create a safe environment where your nervous system can soften, release what it's been holding, and find its way back to greater ease and flow.

I often integrate craniosacral work with acupuncture, as these healing arts complement each other beautifully—addressing you simultaneously through energetic, physical, and nervous system pathways for particularly potent healing. This work is especially effective for chronic pain, sleep difficulties, anxiety, headaches, and trauma recovery, but what I find most meaningful is how it supports people in remembering their own wholeness. Rather than treating the body as a machine to be fixed, craniosacral therapy recognizes your body as intelligent and worthy of profound respect. When your nervous system feels safe enough to release, not only do symptoms often resolve, but people frequently report feeling more like themselves—more present, connected to their inner knowing, and able to navigate life's challenges with resilience and grace.

Working with the unseen realms of non-ordinary reality is one of humanity's oldest and most universal spiritual practices. In my practice, I work within the framework of Core Shamanism—the universal principles that appear across shamanic traditions worldwide, as developed by anthropologist Michael Harner and refined by master teachers like Sandra Ingerman and Betsy Bergstrom. Through techniques like journeying (entering altered states using rhythmic drumming), we connect with compassionate helping spirits who offer guidance, healing, and restoration of wholeness. I often combine shamanic healing with acupuncture, as these ancient modalities beautifully complement each other, both working with subtle energies and recognizing the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. The shamanic services I offer include reconnecting you with spirit allies, clearing unwanted energetic patterns, seeking spiritual guidance for life decisions, and creating sacred rituals for transitions.

What I love most about shamanic work is that it's fundamentally collaborative—rather than positioning myself as the expert who fixes you, I serve as a bridge between you and your own healing wisdom. The spirits consistently guide us to the heart of what needs attention, whether addressing soul loss (parts that went into hiding during difficult times), clearing energetic patterns passed down through family lines, or simply seeking deeper connection with your authentic self. The beauty of Core Shamanism is that it doesn't require adopting any particular belief system—instead, it offers practical tools for accessing spiritual support that's always available. One of my greatest joys is helping people discover their own innate shamanic abilities, learning to journey safely and develop relationships with spirit allies to bring wisdom into daily life. Whether drawn to this work for physical healing, emotional restoration, or spiritual growth, I'm here to support your exploration with deep reverence for the mystery.
