My experience and education make a tremendous difference  in my ability to facilitate healing. I utilize my Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese medicine, my certification in Lymphedema therapy, my empathy and understanding of chronic pain to best help my patients to get to a place of healing and wellness.
I find true purpose in helping others find their better health and lasting pain relief. I am a healer first and foremost, I'm also a mother and wife and an artist. I have two fur babies that make every day better. I love my family, cooking and sharing my efforts to bring smiles to others. Energy is best shared and given with heart.
