About me

Your Wellbeing is My Commitment

When we work together, I see it as a shared commitment to your health. I show up fully for your healing because your wellbeing genuinely matters to me. I became an acupuncturist to support women through the physical and emotional demands of everyday life, as well as the hormonal transitions that can impact how you feel in your body. My focus is on helping you feel more balanced, grounded, and at ease—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

In my practice, I commonly treat pain, sleep disturbances, digestive concerns, and stress-related emotional imbalances, alongside women’s health concerns such as PMS, irregular or painful periods, fertility, perimenopause, and menopause. These symptoms are often interconnected, and my approach looks at the whole picture rather than treating any concern in isolation.

My care is deeply personalized. There are no standard treatments in my clinic—each treatment plan is carefully designed around your individual needs, health history, and current life stressors. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, difficulty sleeping, digestive discomfort, hormonal shifts, or feeling overwhelmed and depleted, your care is tailored specifically to you.

I am a graduate of Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where I completed my training at the top of my class. I currently serve as a technical supervisor for acupuncture interns and am completing my Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (DAcCHM). My work is informed by both advanced clinical training and hands-on experience, with a strong emphasis on thoughtful, effective, and compassionate care.

Above all, my goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Together, we’ll work to restore balance, reduce symptoms, and help you feel like yourself again.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Acupuncture for Women’s Health
Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that I use to help the body restore balance naturally. By stimulating specific points with fine needles, I can regulate hormones, improve circulation, and calm the nervous system. Many of my patients come to me for issues such as painful or irregular periods, perimenopause, menopause, and fertility support
Yes. I often treat women who experience hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, or sleep issues during perimenopause or menopause. Acupuncture can ease these symptoms by supporting hormonal balance and improving overall wellbeing, all without the use of synthetic hormones.
Absolutely. When I treat menstrual irregularities or painful periods, my goal is to improve blood flow and support healthy hormone communication throughout the body. Over time, acupuncture helps your cycle become more regular and less symptomatic.
Everyone’s healing process is unique. Acute conditions can improve in a few sessions, while chronic or hormonal imbalances usually need consistent care over several weeks or months. I’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your goals and lifestyle.
Yes. I use only sterile, single-use needles and follow all California safety and professional standards. When performed by a licensed practitioner, acupuncture is extremely safe and has minimal side effects.
Hormonal and Emotional Balance
Yes, many of my patients seek acupuncture for emotional balance and relief from hormone-related migraines. Acupuncture calms the nervous system, helps regulate mood, and supports better sleep, which can reduce both emotional and physical tension.
That’s one of the main reasons people come to see me. Acupuncture supports your endocrine system and helps your body find its natural rhythm. Over time, it can reduce PMS, fatigue, mood swings, and other symptoms linked to hormonal imbalance.

Pain and Chronic Conditions

Yes. Acupuncture is highly effective for managing pain and inflammation. I work with patients who have fibromyalgia, joint pain, or muscle tension to reduce discomfort, improve energy, and restore quality of life.

Most people feel very little when the needles are inserted. You may notice a light tingling, warmth, or heaviness — sensations we call the “arrival of qi.” These feelings usually fade as your body relaxes.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping is a technique I use to increase blood flow, release tight muscles, and remove stagnation from the body. I place glass cups on the skin with gentle suction — it’s especially helpful for back and shoulder pain or stress relief.
Yes, light circular marks are common and fade within 5–10 days. They’re a normal part of the healing process and show that circulation has improved in the treated area.
Herbal Medicine
Yes. I often prescribe Chinese herbal formulas to support treatment between sessions, especially for hormonal or digestive issues. Herbs can gently regulate hormones, boost energy, and improve sleep and mood.
When prescribed correctly, yes. I only use high-quality, lab-tested herbs and always review any medications you’re taking to ensure they’re safe to combine.
