In my professional experience as an acupuncturist I have had the privilege of getting to know some really wonderful people. Each patient brings their unique health challenges which provide us both with the opportunity to learn what it means to be truly ALIVE! While no one wants to experience pain or illness, at some time or another we each may have a need for care or to be cared for. This is the best time to make smart choices for your health. Whether you have a simple ache or pain or something much more complex, I'm confident acupuncture can help.
My background is in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM). I have also done post graduate study in Traditional Chinese Gynecology, Advanced Clinical Chinese Herbology, Korean Hand Therapy, Japanese Meridian Acupuncture, Balance Method. I am a Diplomate of Acupuncture Orthopedics and a former Qualified Medical Evaluator(QME)for the State of California.
In addition to founding North Shore Acupuncture Clinic, I also operate a small Chinese Herbal Pharmacy called Happy Toad Chinese Herbs. I teach Chinese Herbology, Oriental Nutrition, Pathology, Physiology and Clinical Health Analysis. To stay balanced I practice Ashtanga yoga and walk....alot.
