I dislike pain. I have had experience with it personally, and I don't want for other folks to suffer with it. Though it is not always reasonable to expect it, I work very hard to achieve partial or total pain relief for my clients on their first visit. That is why I call myself an impatient acupuncturist. 

I love Traditional Chinese Medicine (which includes acupuncture, herbs, moxibustion, and cupping). I am a nerd about nutrition. I enjoy Reiki, meditation, and T'ai Chi. I use all of these skills and interests to help my clients overcome pain and disease. I am also enthusiastic about conventional medicine, Yoga, chiropractic, and massage therapy. I am blessed to know a few especially gifted, licensed individuals in these professions. If you need a recommendation or referral, I'm happy to share their contact info. I love working on your wellness team!
