Philosophy


My practice runs on the understanding that the body has an inherent, intuitive knowledge to guide itself to its overall wellness for healthy living. The body’s most natural state is that of good health which is what it is continuously striving for. It is an abundance of miracles in process every second of every day, yet it sometimes gets off track and needs a little nudge in the right direction. I believe that when symptoms persist, imbalances present themselves, pain sets in or when other maladies occur, your body is sending you messages calling for change and re-evaluation. Acupuncture and ancillary modalities within the holistic health spectrum direct these actions and act as catalysts for change in both a preventative and a curative respect.

I am a mere conduit to this experience, here to assist you in this goal and to meet you wherever you are at in this course. My work takes this ancient wisdom that has been cultivated and fostered for thousands of years and transforms it into an accessible and practical perspective. I incorporate and employ my evolving interpretation of modern medicine.

I have always found the need to reach towards balance and nature. It became apparent to me that this is imperative to maintain health and wholeness in many facets of life. I have dedicated my life’s work to these ideas and remain in awe of the phenomenon around this concept. I believe that we each hold an essential and undeniable ability to heal and thrive. We are all expressions of nature and a part of the natural world. Living in symmetry with nature is empowering and provides an incredible quality and equilibrium of life, and there are many ways to assimilate it into a contemporary lifestyle and world. 

Living is a cyclical journey with many peaks and valleys. Health is a continuum of this process, both practice and discipline. It is a synthesis of balance with consideration of body, mind and spirit. I utilize these concepts into my treatment plans customized and tailored for you, incorporating a variety of modalities into my sessions, referrals when needed and educational resources for you to elevate your healing path into a more enriched embodiment of living. I work from a multifaceted integrative approach to medicine. I hold the belief system that we should utilize the best of all worlds to access better health outcomes. I want you to experience a deep sense of relaxation and transformation from the experiential aspect of the treatments themselves, but I also want you to feel more empowered in your health process by having an ongoing dialogue about ways in which you can take more agency for your healthcare and well being. I want you to have knowledge, insight, and confidence in health related matters. 

The pursuit of wellness and balanced health does not have to be a chore, another appointment, or a burden disrupting your life. It can be a discovery of self, of new and fresh perspectives and a precious period of time to explore the unexamined, unimagined skeleton architecture of your present. It is a treat making you feel good in all the ways! Your body, mind and spirit can be a sanctuary that you love, create, and foster. This can be a manifestation of your own personal magic realized as a reflection of the world you wish to live in and create. 

I aim to help you find what works best for you and to empower and educate you in the process applying the assortment of holistic health tools and knowledge I have acquired. Your body is your home on this planet. I invite you to live in optimal, reciprocal, and right relationship with your body and nature!
