Her practice embraces East Asian medicine for its holistic lens of the body. Her goal as an Acupuncturist is to restore normal functioning to the body based on an individuals constitution addressing the root causes of disharmony while honoring the intelligent and ordered design of the human body. Her technique is gentle but powerful. She sees her role as an acupuncturist as creating the space and reminding the body to do what is it is already so good at doing— healing!
