Your body is wondrous. It holds an innate ability to restore and maintain physical, mental, and emotional wellness. If you are not functioning at your highest capacity, a helping hand can gently guide you back. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine bodywork can provide support and guidance to restore this natural healing process.

My treatments are tailored to your individual needs at each session, integrating acupuncture, with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies. This may include therapeutic massage (Tui Na), cupping, diet therapy (Shi Liao), auricular medicine, laser treatments (for people averse to needles), and electro-acupuncture to support the body's natural healing processes. Chinese medicine is a holistic practice. We generally start with treating symptoms, but ultimately, our goal is to address the root cause, returning the body to harmony. This is true healing, it doesn’t just cure symptoms, but prevents disease. This level of change requires commitment and patience (after all it took your body many years to get here) but will pay rewards throughout your life with improved health and wellness.

My life’s path was changed in my 20’s with a back injury. When the pain did not resolve, my doctor said, “We’re not very good at this; you may as well try something else.” I sought help using different treatment therapies. Through that journey, I saw my body heal, not just the back pain, but many areas coming into better balance. I came to deeply trust in the body’s wisdom to heal. I learned that with the right guidance, imbalances in the body can be addressed, and it can get back on course to function at its highest capacity. My curiosity about the different treatment methods and ways practitioners worked caused me to change paths. I left my career in environmental engineering, and for over 25 years, I have been immersed in holistic health and lifestyle practices. In Chinese Medicine we call this Yang Sheng, nourishing life.

I came to acupuncture from a very scientific lens. My "left brain" seeks to understand the how and why, keeping me up on current research and constantly learning. Over the years, my "right brain" has taken a seat at the table, allowing better integration with that which we can’t yet explain. Let’s start with a deep trust in your body’s innate wisdom to heal and combine evidence-based clinical practice to get you feeling better.

My holistic practice emphasizes pain relief, digestive health, mental and emotional well-being, women’s health, stress management, fatigue, and overall wellness maintenance. I have undertaken specialised training in treating menopause, and auricular medicine. I also use electro-acupuncture where appropriate for complex internal and neurological conditions.

I invite you to explore a different path to health and wellness and look forward to supporting you. With over 25 years of experience in holistic health, and 6 years as an acupuncturist, I am passionate about providing caring and effective treatments to help you reach your health goals.
