Working with Me

My sessions are rooted in the holistic principles of Chinese medicine, blending ancient wisdom with a modern, intuitive approach to healing. My approach through depth psychology helps me attune to what your body’s symptoms are trying to express beneath the surface. Each appointment is a space for you to be fully seen and heard, where we explore your symptoms not as problems to fix, but as messages from your body, mind and spirit—guiding you back into alignment. My focus is to help alleviate pain, restore sleep, improve digestion, reduce the symptoms of stress and anxiety, regulate menstrual cycles, and help you feel like yourself again.

Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine
Chinese and East Asian medicine uses detailed questioning, observation, and pattern differentiation to understand the root cause of imbalance. In our session, I’ll ask about your energy, sleep, digestion, menstrual cycle or hormonal transitions, emotions, and more. I’ll also take your pulse and look at your tongue, and sometimes assess your facial complexion and voice tone as diagnostic clues.

Acupuncture Treatments

Your safety and comfort are at the heart of everything I do. I use only sterile, single-use disposable needles — fresh for every client, every visit — and my needling approach is always gentle and unhurried, so you can relax and trust that you’re in caring hands.

Personalized Lifestyle Recommendations
Based on your unique constitution and current imbalances, I offer tailored recommendations in the following areas:

• Diet: Gentle adjustments aligned with your body’s elemental and seasonal needs. This might include warming foods for Qi deficiency, blood-nourishing recipes for hormonal regulation, or tips to support your digestion and mood.

• Exercise & Movement: Not just about fitness, but about restoring flow—think gentle Qi Gong, seasonal walks, stretching to move Liver Qi, or breathwork to ground your nervous system.

• Meditation & Emotional Practices: I guide you toward practices that regulate your spirit (Shen), like Five Element meditations, dreamwork, or embodied mindfulness to calm anxiety or support restful sleep.

• Chinese Herbal Formulas: When appropriate, I prescribe customized Chinese herbal formulas, primarily in granule form, sourced from high-quality, ethical providers. These may help regulate hormones, soothe emotional unrest, improve sleep, or strengthen your overall vitality.

Every recommendation is offered with care and clarity, supporting your healing journey from the inside out. Through the combined lens of depth psychology and Chinese medicine, I listen deeply to the language of the body, where symptoms often carry the messages the heart cannot yet speak. These sessions empower you with ancient tools—translated for your modern life—to restore harmony and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
