Traditional Acupuncture Session
Traditional Chinese Medicine that’s tailored to you!
I get to the root of your problem, instead of putting a bandage on your symptoms.
Acupuncture is powerful medicine for:
Relieving Stress, Relief from Physical Pain, Optimizing Pregnancy, Boosting Immunity, Alleviating Allergies and so much more!
Have you experienced any of these?
You have long-term health issues that don’t go away.
Your conditions don’t respond to Western Medicine treatments (or come back again when you think they’re gone).
You feel unheard or rushed by other practitioners
You’ve been told that all of your blood work and other tests are normal and yet you still don’t feel well
The side effects of some treatments are worse than the cure
You’ve been made to feel like your problems are all in your head.
Can you imagine instead, someone who will sit and listen to you and dig to the root of the problem to help you get long term holistic relief?
If you are ready to get relief AND feel empowered and part of your own healing journey, let’s talk!
As an acupuncturist and herbalist of 15years, I promise to deeply listen to you and get to the bottom of your health concerns.
No rushing through appointments
We connect human to human because I understand that compassion is one of the most important elements of medicine.
We work in partnership. I want you to be included in your health decision and give you more options than just taking pills.
If you’re looking for effective medicine that treats you holistically with several centuries of history… AND a practitioner that includes you in the process, I encourage you to explore acupuncture treatment with me!
INTRODUCING
Traditional Acupuncture Sessions
Getting to the root cause of your health issue, not just the symptoms.
During acupuncture sessions, we seek to restore the natural flow of the body and return the body to harmony. It works by accessing Qi (Life Force or Energy) in the body at particular points along meridians or channels.
In an acupuncture session, you may receive any combination of acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, Chinese herbs, moxibustion, essential oils and other topical medicinals. You may also get qigong exercises, acupressure and moxibustion to do at home.
Sessions are 60 minutes long, with initial session about 90 minutes long to allow us to discuss your health history.
"She fixed issues in my body I had no idea were resolvable.” - - Sarah D., San Francisco
HOW IT WORKS
At your first in-person acupuncture session, we will first go over your health history, and how it relates to your current life and health concerns.
After that, we’ll start with the acupuncture treatment. Your treatment may also include, moxa, gua sha, cupping and guided meditations.
I may send you home with a combination of Chinese herbs, essential oils, flower essences, acupressure points, qigong exercises, lifestyle and nutritional recommendations.
You’ll receive follow-up emails with links to articles and educational videos and to check in and see how you’re doing.

I detect the root cause of pain to help you heal on a soul level. Like a detective solving mysteries, I use my skills as an acupuncturist, herbalist, and alchemist to uncover the blocks that are in the way of your healing.Compassion defines my work. For me, healing is a gateway to wholeness.
MY AREAS OF EXPERTISE: Pregnancy, Immune Healthy and Pain (Emotional and Physical)
I spent years in chronic pain - either on pain meds and foggy at work, or at work in pain. Neither were great options. And then I tried acupuncture. It helped to solve my chronic pain issues. I felt like I was involved in my healthcare for the first time.
As an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist, I have 15 + years experience and knowledge to share. I would love the opportunity to empower you to do self-care that’s tailored to your specific needs.
