I earned my Masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Santa Barbara College of Oriental Medicine. I also attend courses at the University of Functional Medicine. A part of my practice focuses on Nutrition and Weight Management through the study of Hormones and their impact on weight, exercise and overall health.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH ACUPUNCTURE:
As a child I was a gymnast and later coached gymnastics for over 10 years. One of my other passions is riding horses. So after I experienced a back injury the doctors told me I would never be able to do either of these I was devastated. The doctors wanted to perform surgery to correct the injury but I chose to opt out and seek alternatives. After a serious look at my options I chose to use Acupuncture, physical therapy,chiropractic and exercise to heal. It worked!
I became fascinated with Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and its ability to heal from all perspectives, the emotional, physical and nutritional. Shortly after I made the choice of a career change.

My education is continual as it is my passion to learn everything about the human body, how and why internal and external experiences, nutrition, exercise, stress and meditation affects it. I enjoy educating my patients so they may have the tools to be and feel healthy... mind, body and spirit. I look forward to working with you and passing on the tools I have learned.
