About

Welcome to my practice.  I love my work! My clinic is boutique-style, focusing on each patient individually. I offer a suite of eastern medical, wellness and esthetic services, in addition to acupuncture.  (Many don’t even involve needles).

I have 20+ years clinical experience in pain management, injury recovery, stress reduction, microneedling, and cosmetic acupuncture procedures. I offer gentle, effective, procedures in a soothing environment, focused on patient comfort. Your questions about your health, treatment options, costs are always welcome.

Fire cupping, tuning forks, gua sha, B12 Injections, electro acupuncture, and nourishing upgrades are available to enhance your treatment, leaving you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I look forward to meeting you in person!
