My ideal clients are people ready to take an active role in their health — often dealing with chronic or nerve-related pain, headaches, an injury that hasn't fully healed, or the physical toll of stress and poor sleep. Many have tried other approaches and want care that treats the whole picture, not just symptoms. I help them move forward with individualized, evidence-based acupuncture, electroacupuncture, dry needling, and herbal medicine, clear and measurable goals, and honest check-ins so they always know whether treatment is working. I also welcome clients seeking facial acupuncture and microneedling for skin health.

Hi, I'm Brenna! I work with adolescents, teens and adults who are struggling with disordered eating, recovery from chronic dieting, binge-restrict cycles, body image concerns and wanting to be able to pursue health without obsession. It's common to be interested in or passionate about food, health, wellness exercise - but when those interests become inflexible, or don't allow for you to spend time and feel present doing other things that are important to you, it can be a sign to reach out.

I aim to help clients understand the root cause of their symptoms and most importantly how they can use foods and nutrition to help manage their symptoms. Nutrition is not a one size fits all. I take a more holistic, whole person approach to help my clients by reviewing their history, symptoms, labs, or other tests in order to create an individualized nutrition plan. I practice a foods first approach and empower my clients by teaching them useful nutrition information.

At this point in my practice, most of my focus is spent on working with patients with chronic illnesses, like cancer. I also work with patients with digestive issues, men's health issues and other health conditions. I utilize an integrated approach, including behavior modification, counseling, botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, vitamin, mineral and enzyme optimization and intravenous (I.V.) therapy. Although I see many patients for fine tuning and health optimization, I also accept the challenge of working with people with very difficult medical issues, especially folks with issues that conventional medicine has very little to offer.
