Acupuncture is a safe, effective, and natural form of healthcare that will get you feeling your best. Treating a patient is not just a matter of giving someone acupuncture. All aspects of your wellness are addressed, from stress management, and exercise, to diet and simple lifestyle changes. Watching patients reclaim their health, and seeing the immense changes that transpire over weeks or months, is truly phenomenal. Many patients come to me after "trying everything else," and it's great to be able to give them the relief they've been searching for.

I’m an anti-diet dietitian who balances the importance of scientifically based, evidence driven practice and the realities of day-to-day living. I earned my B.S. in Nutrition from San Diego State University and later completed a Masters and Dietetic Internship at Simmons University in Boston, MA where I specialized in eating disorders and sports nutrition. As a former athlete, I recognize the importance of nutrition to fuel performance, but also understand that food is much more than just fuel. I work with clients to find that balance for themselves, to listen to their bodies, and to learn to trust themselves.

Rooted in the principle of holism, acupuncture places great emphasis on treating the whole person and views the body, mind, spirit and context as an integrated unit. Context includes environmental factors such as culture, community, family, social networks and history. The goal of treatment is to establish “balance” within the individual and in relationship to their environment. My practice treats a variety of conditions including acute and chronic pain, metabolic dysfunction, gastrointestinal distress, fertility support, respiratory disease, fatigue, mental clarity as well as anxiety and depression.

If you are struggling because you have pain issues, difficulty sleeping, or are undergoing mental and emotional stress, massage therapy may bring you the relief you seek. I have helped many people with a wide array of issues--people with very physical jobs, people who sit all day, athletes, people who have undergone great physical traumas and surgeries--the benefits of massage therapy are far reaching. In addition to resolving pain issues, massage therapy promotes deep relaxation and a sense of well being. As your body releases tension, your mind becomes more peaceful.

Do you feel like something’s off, even when your lab results say everything looks fine?
You’re not alone. If you’re struggling with:
Digestive issues like Bloating, Gas, Diarrhea, or Constipation; persistent Joint Pain or Body Aches; Fatigue that doesn’t seem to go away; Difficulty losing weight despite your best efforts, you might be feeling frustrated and wondering if something’s being missed. The truth is—“normal” labs don’t always mean optimal health. Many of these symptoms are often tied to inflammation that’s quietly impacting your body.
