My Philosophy
Everyone deserves to feel healthy, calm and balanced.
Chinese medicine has been a catalyst for positive change in my life, and I want to share its benefits with others.
I enjoy working within a complete medical system using a variety of safe and effective healing arts and therapeutic techniques. I use a patient-centered approach, addressing the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.
Chinese/Asian medicine is the most researched of all non-Western health systems, and is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
