I received my first acupuncture treatments in my early twenties and was immediately hooked.
Since my teens I had been struggling with intense fatigue, frequent and persistent headaches and mild depression. I was having to curtail my activities because I usually only had enough energy for a few things every week. I had trouble with headaches that would linger for days and sometimes turn into migraines. I felt down and was struggling to get through each day.
While living in Haifa, Israel, I learned about an acupuncturist that was helping some of my friends. I decided to seek her out, and after just a couple of months of weekly acupuncture, I started feeling like a new person. The headaches disappeared, my mood lifted, and I had energy to do the things I loved again.
I’ve always wanted to be in a “helping” profession, but didn’t know exactly what that would look like. After my experience with acupuncture, it became clear to me that I wanted to share this amazing medicine with others.

I have always been excited about natural healing and dreamed of owning a practice where people feel nurtured and cared for. My vision is to create a space that feels supportive and safe, one that you will leave feeling relax and restored.
One of the things that I love about Chinese Medicine is that it seeks to address each person as a whole instead of looking at isolated symptoms. That is why all five branches of Chinese Medicine (acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, nutritional counseling, and QiGong) are utilized to create unique and customized treatments for each patient. I want to treat the root of your condition and support you in creating a healthy and balanced life.
My mission is to help as many people as possible overcome the health challenges that are keeping them from living the life they’ve always dreamed of living and pursuing their dreams.
Because I struggled with my own health, I know what it is like to be unable to follow your dreams and pursue your goals because your health issues are holding you back. It is a frustrating, often scary, and very helpless-feeling place.
I am committed to helping you get out of that space so you can feel galvanized about your life again.
I believe that the most effective healing comes from self-empowerment and I would consider it an honor to work as a partner in creating the health and vitality you desire.
