I'd love to work with you if you're struggling with an eating disorder, feeling overwhelmed or out of control around food, or stuck in “analysis paralysis” about what to actually feed yourself to manage a health condition like diabetes or high cholesterol. Perhaps you’ve dieted on and off for years and you’re over it - you want to figure out how to nourish your body without counting and measuring your food and living by the number on the scale. You want anxieties about your body and food to take up less space in your brain so you can focus on what really matters to you.

Recently relocated from NC, my goal is to bring to young and old healing and balance. It is to awaken the synergy that exists from birth between the body, mind and spirit which enables us to live our lives with clarity and vision. "Treatment is not a one-way street". After receiving my masters and doctorate and teaching in my early career, I chose to follow a deeper passion through Oriental Medicine and received my Masters Degree in Acupuncture, Herbology and Oriental Medicine from the New York College for Wholistic Health, Education and Research and received my National Diplomate in Acupuncture from the NCCAOM.
