I am a licensed acupuncturist in the states of California and Wyoming as well as a Diplomate of Acupuncture recognized by the NCCAOM commission.
I earned my master of science degree in Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine from AIMC in Berkeley, California. During my graduate studies, I worked in the sports medicine department of UC Berkeley athletics, studying trigger point acupuncture and treating athletes for myriad health concerns, muscular imbalances and pain.
While pursuing my BA in English Literature and Language from Reed College in Portland, Oregon (my home state), I discovered my favorite class was a Chinese literature class analyzing the I-Ching. Shortly after, I took a year off to travel to Asia where I subsequently spent another three years studying yoga, meditation and ancient Eastern wisdom.
I have a deep reverence for the natural world and our human bodies, and am constantly in awe of our potential to balance, heal and recover.
My bottomless curiosity and love of learning has led me to conclude that combining Eastern and Western medical paradigms is a comprehensive and effective approach to health. I am persistent and dedicated to bringing results to your health concerns.
