My interest in acupuncture and Chinese medicine comes from a lifelong desire to help people find healing for themselves. I think this is best achieved through a combination of learned skills and from the ability to listen to people. I am attracted to the comprehensive nature of Chinese medicine and its holistic approach resonates deeply for me. I feel strongly that healing comes from helping the body to balance itself. My journey into health and wellness started when I was 19 and entered massage school in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It continued with an undergraduate degree in counseling and conflict resolution, then grew into my own personal study of food, cooking and general wellness. Finally, my path led to studying for a masters degree and becoming a Chinese Medicine Practitioner. I enjoy supporting people through all phases of life!
When I am not working, I love to read, walk my dog, play with my kids, spend time with my family and friends, travel, cook, practice yoga and cross country ski.
