My passion is eliminating your pain and suffering caused by chronic conditions so that your quality of life is improved. Many of you are stuck in a traditional healthcare system that just isn't getting to the root cause of your problem. So you’re still not feeling well even after all of the doctor visits, prescriptions & procedures. That's an endless cycle that won't stop until you decide to do something different. I don't want you suffering in silence & missing out on your dreams. You deserve to feel better and live longer so you can enjoy life.

I work with women going through fertility treatments or looking to regulate issues regarding their health (stress, mood, weight, fertility issues, PTSD). They have tried many things but don't know what helps best. Good problem solvers, intuitive, they are strong professionals in their field looking for a comprehensive multifaceted approach to heal their situation naturally. They understand there is something about self cultivation and lifestyle that is easier with acupuncture - this sense of 'chi' and vitality they have a sense of but want to experience more of for deeper healing.

My passion is using Eastern healing methods to enhance my clients' well-being. I was introduced to shiatsu as a college student in Tokyo while training Shotokan Karate at International Christian University. I experienced first hand how shiatsu improves flexibility, speeds recovery time and enhances performance. I studied shiatsu at the Ohashi Institute in NY, where I received my certification in 1994 and then opened my practice. My interest in Asian philosophy, language and culture underlies my shiatsu practice. It enables me to fully use my skills and knowledge to help clients heal, relax, and achieve healthier, happier lives.
