My Vision
I will strive to use my words, knowledge, and techniques to aide my patients in achieving greater flow and connectivity, in their lives and bodies. I vow to help the patient identify the root of their imbalance in order to empower them to embrace their journey.
Biographical Info
I am a licensed acupuncturist in New Jersey. I received a masters in oriental medicine (MSOM) from the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM). Please see my curriculum vitae below for more about my credentials.
I deeply honor each person’s experience of the human condition. Through acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion and energetically informed bodywork, I strive to aide my patients to experience connectivity and flow in their lives, to reduce their individual experience of suffering. Life will always have its difficulties. The goal is to increase a patient's clarity and physical and emotional plasticity in order to rise to meet life's challenges.
I feel called to do this work. It is big, beautiful, daunting and rewarding to stand with someone in their experience of life. With every interaction I strive to be in full authenticity, as my gracious teachers always were with me. I have been extremely fortunate to have been impacted by this medicine in my own life, as a practitioner and a patient. It has been nothing short of transformational. I feel deeply grateful to be able to share the healing abilities of Chinese medicine with others.
