I love being a witness for patients as they grow their families.  I’ve always been a “helper” and being able to share what I know to give people agency, helping them advocate for their own health is a very satisfying feeling.

I love sharing space and time with my patients, developing trust, and witnessing their transformations via that embodied liminal place that acupuncture provides — it restores balance to the mind, body, and spirit.

Education and empowerment. I love empowering my patients to make educated decisions concerning their health and fertility. For my fertility patients, knowledge and understanding of the female and male reproduction process is essential in identifying potential problems, knowing how to optimize and preserve fertility, and knowing when to seek ART (assisted reproductive technology).

Emotions are energy and they get stuck in our physical body, and are most often the cause of our health issues. It is vital to uncover and heal these emotional pains to release how it is manifesting in the body. In the struggle of becoming a mother, there are so many emotions that come up. Most of these emotions are past wounds that have not been resolved and are now being amplified. Working through these emotions is challenging, however it provides grace and ease to the journey towards motherhood.

As a seasoned practitioner, I explain to clients that Chinese medicine is a complete medical system as well as a healing art. While acupuncture alone may convince a client to make an appointment, in my work, I insist that there is considerably more this medicine (and our time together) can offer.
