I help women heal their relationship with food and recover from disordered eating and eating disorders using a compassionate, non-diet, intuitive eating approach. Many of the women I work with struggle with food guilt, restrictive eating, binge eating, body image concerns, and chronic dieting. Food and weight can feel mentally consuming, leaving little energy for the rest of life. My goal is to help you quiet the food noise, rebuild trust with your body, and feel more at ease and confident around eating.

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.

The human body is a system, complex, intertwined and in rhythm with family, community and universe. As a system, it is managed by the endocrine system, or your hormones. Each stage of growth, development, change and adaptation is managed by the hormonal and autonomic nervous system. Understanding the critical aspects of you that allow you to adapt either effectively or ineffectively and maintain healthy or unhealthy homeodynamics is my passion. I want to hear your story, understand your physiology and provide the guidance and treatment specific to your needs to allow you to live a healthy and vibrant life.

Naturopathic Medicine is a holistic specialty care approach to health and wellness that focuses on the interconnectedness of the body, rather than disease itself. The goal is to find out the causes of illness, and how different systems in the body affect each other. Natural therapies are used to support the body embark on it's own healing process. The bedrock of Naturopathy is the health and well being of the individual. Naturopathic Doctors choose the most appropriate type of therapy or combination of therapies to use for each patient.
