I like to say I was born into the medical field, but I had to find my own medicine.

My mom was a nurse and I grew up wandering around nursing homes until her shift ended. I spent time with the nurses, residents, the staff that provided activities, nutritional and pastoral care, as well as the maintenance team and administration. I felt right at home and saw firsthand how everyone played such an important part of providing care. I also understood somehow that none of these roles were quite for me.

I pursued my other passions of data and finance while continuing to volunteer in various medical settings. I was well into my corporate career when I tried acupuncture for the first time for my recurring migraines. I immediately fell in love with the medicine, realizing it was the role I had been searching for. I loved how the medicine addressed the whole person, how it sought to resolve the underlying root of a problem instead of just the complaint, how seemingly random symptoms were part of a pattern, how taking herbs and supplements and a nap in the acupuncturist’s office once a week helped me start to feel better, how reassuring it was to have someone that took the time to really be with me and listen. I had finally found the medicine that I wanted to practice.

Acupuncture has been my rock in every aspect of my life. My love for this medicine inspires me to continue to its study and use it to address my emotional health, to refine my own sense of well being, to relieve the occasional aches and pains, to put me to sleep at night, ease all matters related to women’s health, and even refine my aging face. I am incredibly grateful to be able to provide this to others.
