I received my Masters Degree of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at Pacific College in New York City where I studied acupuncture, herbal medicine, qi gong and tui na. In practice since 2007, I initially dedicated my practice to treating athletes and performers during and after injury and have had the great honor to use this medicine to treat artists, crew and administration from prominent companies in the fields of dance, music and theatrical entertainment. In growing with this medicine over time and seeing both the beautiful and powerful effects of treatment, I believe that everyone can benefit from this medicine, with its adaptability to focus on preventative care for well-being, the treatment of pain syndromes, or complementary care during the treatment of disease.
I practice the Mei Zen system of cosmetic acupuncture – an elegant treatment protocol based entirely on classical Chinese medicine – which allows for individualized treatments that address aging gracefully, while bringing vitality to the appearance of the face and neck through the use of needling and/or facial gua sha and cupping.
I am licensed to practice in New York and Connecticut and I am a Board Certified Chinese Herbalist by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). In recent years I have completed a 100-hour yoga therapy certification course as well as a 70-hour pediatrics certification and participate in an on-going basis in a small group clinical skills & supervision group with Elaine Stern and an herbal graduate mentorship program with Sharon Weizenbaum.
It is an honor to be a messenger for this medicine and a partner in healing for the many beautiful humans that have come through my practice.
