Who am I and what do I believe?
I am a graduate of Southwest Acupuncture College in Santa Fe, NM, where the degree Master of Science in Oriental Medicine was earned. The over 3000 hour program consisted of training in the five branches of Oriental Medicine: acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, body work, and energy enhancing exercises. Previous to studying Oriental Medicine, I earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree in psychology and was involved in psychological and medical research. My health psychology background led me to study the benefits of herbs and complete a year’s worth of intensive training in western herbal medicine. I also worked at HerbPharm, where I learned how to properly grow, harvest and turn herbs into medicine.
I take pleasure in helping people of all ages and I delight in working with seniors. I enjoy witnessing peoples’ response to treatment and educating them about what I call “the magic of the medicine.” The long-lasting, cumulative, and often immediate shifts my patients and I both notice are what make it amazing for both of us. It is with great excitement that I invite you to explore, question, and experience what Oriental Medicine has to offer!
The heart of Oriental Medicine is through the creation of balance between our body, our minds, our spirits, and our environments. Oriental medicine is an excellent preventative medicine as well as treatment for almost any imbalance or health condition in the body.If you come for treatment as part of your regular health care routine you will notice that you have fewer reactions to stressful situations and less anxiety and depression. You will have more peace, relaxation, energy, joint mobility, immunity, digestive wellness, sexual vigor, blood pressure control, and sleep!
Oriental Medicine empowers you to have control of and improve your health through diet, lifestyle and simple acupressure self- treatments. I will provide you with high quality, compassionate, nurturing healthcare and will utilize all of my skills to help you to improve your life.
