​

Using ancient and modern therapies including acupuncture, NAET, herbal medicine, and nutrition, I help people of all ages on their journey back to health. 

 

My interest in Chinese medicine began when I was 15 years old on a family trip to China where I visited local hospitals and small village clinics. Intrigued by what I saw, I decided to learn more and eventually pursued a career in Chinese medicine. Graduating in 2003, I earned my Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM) in Portland, Oregon.

Prior to relocating to Ashland, Oregon with my family, I maintained a busy acupuncture practice located in Asheville, North Carolina. I have trained extensively in the Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) since 2007. I have over 20 years of clinical experience. I am board certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), and I am licensed to practice acupuncture, nutrition, and herbal medicine in Oregon and California.​
