Put simply, I love acupuncture because it works! It works to wake up innate systems within the body to enable healing. I love seeing how a handful of needles can bring change to our whole self-physical, mental, and emotional.

I often lean into my mantra, “All things work together for my good,” and trust the universe to guide me toward that goodness. My path to acupuncture wasn’t straight, but every twist and turn shaped me into the thoughtful, kind, empathetic, and deeply connected practitioner I strive to be.
Choosing to finish my Bachelor’s and continue on to a Master’s—while skipping my way toward 50—was a leap of faith. But I love being new to the medicine and experienced in life. I’ve lived a lot: almost 30 years of marriage, three incredible and occasionally maddening adult kids, 15 years teaching yoga, substitute teaching, building one house from the ground up, and now building the lake home I plan to grow old in.
Chronic shoulder pain in my 30s brought me to experience the miracle of traditional Chinese medicine and to then pursue it when I returned to school.
When I’m not in the clinic, I’m probably reading (I love a good title and any genre will do), walking with my corgi, Mochi, wandering through local festivals, listening to live music, eating delicious food, or traveling with my husband, friends, or family. Paddleboarding is next on the list—just as soon as the house is finished.
