My personal healing journey really started when I began pursuing massage and acupuncture treatments for my chronic pain. I found both modalities helpful, and in fact, I found acupuncture could help with other assorted issues I was working on. Acupuncture quickly became the main healing modality I used as a patient.

I saw the same Naturopath/Acupuncturist for 20 years, until he retired. Certainly I fashioned my own early practice from this wonderful experience.During this time I began working in medical offices as an administrative support person. Over the span of 15 years, I worked in both acupuncture/natural medicine clinics and allopathic medicine clinics. The last clinic I worked for was an oncology clinic, and I often spoke with the patients there about acupuncture and herbs, and how they might help during their chemo and radiation treatments.I finally decided to go back to school in mid-life to become an acupuncturist and herbalist.
This work is the joy of my life, and I love working with patients on their healing journey.

I earned a dual Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and have been practicing acupuncture since 2015.

I am a board certified Acupuncturist & Chinese herbalist, and have additional training and experience with acupuncture for fertility and pregnancy.
