My goal as your doctor is to help you feel your best, provide a clearer understanding of your health, and create an environment where your concerns feel heard and addressed. I understand how stressful and frustrating it can be to feel less than your best with no clear answer or pathway to get back to health. No two people are the same, which is why our first visit together will be at least an hour to help me understand the full picture of you and your health history.

You may achieve your relaxation requirements from me in a variety of ways. I deal mostly with reducing your stress through medium work to all of your major muscle groups. The pressure may increase to a stronger touch to impact more muscle and thus increase the relaxation response. I like stretching and so will you as when tight muscles are taken through their ranges of motion, breathing stabilizes and flexibility improves.

Combining my experience of over 20 years as an Occupational Therapist, along with eleven years now as an Acupuncturist, I bring a compassionate, trauma informed study and hands on body wisdom to your treatment. The utilization of this palpatory approach provides diagnosis as well as an instant measure of treatment effectiveness, which you will realize in real time. Both Western and Traditional Eastern medicine have their respective strengths and weaknesses. It is my belief, when they are appropriately combined, the patient is well served.

Almost any condition can be successfully treated with acupuncture because the goal is to correct the imbalances that are the underlying cause of the patient's symptoms. I find acupuncture is particularly beneficial for those with any type of pain: headaches, back pain, muscle, joint and nerve pain. It is also helpful for those with endocrine/hormonal issues, PMS, irregular periods, menopausal symptoms, digestive issues, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. Also: anxiety, insomnia; high blood pressure, stress management, chronic fatigue. People with colds, sore throats, asthma, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, and dermatitis can also find relief with acupuncture.

The goal of my clinic is to restore a person's body to balance and optimal health. This is accomplished by using the constituents of the body, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and neurotransmitters as well as addressing physical and energetic mis-alignments. Success is also achieved by considering as many aspects of a person as possible, or treating the whole person, and not just relieving a set of isolated ailments; the premise behind Naturopathic medicine is to find the root cause of illness and to address health concerns at their very core, rather than focusing solely on symptoms.
