02 / About
We integrate mind and body, understanding they are one system.
I offer acupuncture and all the practices within the scope of acupuncture: e-stim, cupping, guasha, tuina, herbal medicine, as well as collaborate with western medical providers through lab requisitioning and interpretation and complementary, cooperative treatment. My focus is on integrating mind and body, understanding they are one system.

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture and the full scope of practices within it.
01
Acupuncture
Individualized needle-based treatment.
Fine needles are placed at selected points based on your health context and goals. Treatment is adapted to the individual at each visit.
02
E-Stim
Gentle electrical stimulation used with acupuncture.
E-stim connects selected acupuncture needles to a controlled device. It may be considered when appropriate within a personalized treatment plan.
03
Cupping
A traditional technique using therapeutic suction.
Cups are placed on selected areas of the body for a measured period. Temporary circular marks can be a normal result of this modality.
04
Guasha
A hands-on technique using a smooth-edged tool.
Guasha is applied to selected areas using a specialized tool and measured pressure. It can be incorporated alongside other modalities when appropriate.
05
Tuina
Chinese medicine bodywork tailored to the individual.
Tuina uses hands-on techniques selected for your presentation and goals. It may be offered as part of a broader acupuncture visit.
06
Herbal Medicine
Traditional herbal support selected with care.
Herbal medicine is considered through the lens of your complete health picture. Recommendations are personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.
07

When appropriate, care can include lab requisitioning and interpretation. Findings are considered alongside your wider health context.
