I believe people can heal themselves when given the right plan and priorities. I have been in practice for close to twenty years focusing on Acupuncture and Sports Medicine. During this time I have worked with professional athletes, musicians, recreational athletes, adults and children. My passion is taking someone who is acutely out of balance and seeing them through to full function. I do this by integrating acupuncture, acupressure, exercise, nutrition, breathing techniques, herbal therapies, and nutriceuticals.

My approach to health is collaborative and holistic; I want to understand who you are and how the imbalance/pain/disease originated, so that we can help the body heal. I typically employ deep acupressure before doing acupuncture, a unique style, and use food, herbs and supplements to strengthen the body. I enjoy teaching people about the traditional oriental philosophy and methods, and also teach relaxation practices and yoga poses.

I’m looking for patients who seek to actively collaborate on improving their quality of life and preventing future illness. As a practitioner with many years of experience, I will listen to your story with care and compassion. Together we’ll assess your health situation and develop a plan for your treatment and healing. I define healing as your body's innate ability to respond to the constant processes of change and continuously heal itself. This principle is at the core of Eastern and holistic medicine.

I am a practitioner of traditional Japanese acupuncture and have studied extensively with master acupuncturist Koji Ichihashi of the Kurumadani School of Japan. Japanese acupuncture technique involves shallow insertion of very thin, delicate needles into points along the Meridians of the body. It is a relaxing spa-like treatment that is gentle and essentially pain free. This style incorporates medical Shiatsu massage while the needles are in the body. I give my patients self-care education, Qigong (energy movement), nutritional counseling and suggest Chinese herbal therapies and/or supplements in a nurturing environment.

I have a very broad, general practice for people of all ages and problems. I use acupuncture and related techniques to balance a person so that they will be better able to fix themselves. I like to say treatment is like a "tune-up and oil change" for your self-repair mechanism. The goal is to get you to do what you could be doing for yourself, but aren't. As a result many problems can quickly resolve.

I believe that there are three fundamental elements of a happy, contented life. One, we need to be able to eat, digest, and eliminate every day. Two, we need to be able to sleep well. Third, we need good sex life. Based on these three elements, we build life and pursuit dreams. However, stress, unhealthy diet and eating habits, and many environmental pollutions make the foundation of our lives unbalanced, thus, we experience depression, anxiety, digestive disorder and sexual dysfunction. My mission is to help people to build a healthy foundation of life with happiness an contentment.
