The journey from hopeless, to healing, to healer.

Once upon a time, I had some medical situations that I had more or less given up on; I figured this was my life, and these pains and dysfunctions were facts I just had to live with, regardless of how difficult they may have made life. After some ankle issues flared up, however, I was encouraged to try acupuncture. Even though I had no idea what acupuncture could treat or how it worked, I was curious enough to give it a shot, and that made all the difference! In time, not only was my ankle greatly improved, but I was able to find relief in so many of the issues that I had no hope of recovering from only months before! I had to know more about this wonderful medicine, and I immediately enrolled as an Acupuncture student at the Tai Sophia Institute. I graduated with a Masters in Acupuncture in 2012, and now I have the great honor of being able to bring that same medicine to you!

Acupuncture is a body-mind-spirit medicine and it treats the whole being; it can treat all manner of issues, from poor digestion and sleep disorders, to back pain and chronic headaches, to depression and lack of mental focus, and beyond. It is a great privilege to see my patients not only stop having to endure back and hip pain, but being able to overcome addictions, cope better with the stress of their lives, and overcome their trauma. Not only do I get to see people find relief, but I get to witness them thrive in ways they had never imagined--I have the best job in the world!
