Welcome! I attended the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM) from 2017-2020, where I studied acupuncture, herbal medicine, and shiatsu under the instruction and leadership of some incredible practitioners and mentors. I am a licensed acupuncturist and NCCAOM diplomate and hold active licenses in Oregon and Maine. I am a 500-hour certified yoga and meditation instructor with eight+ years of teaching experience. I practice acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, moxa, herbal medicine, shiatsu and reflexology bodywork, as well as mindful movement, breath work, meditation, and nutrition.
I treat a variety of medical conditions, including chronic and acute pain, internal medicine, complex biomedical conditions, mental-emotional health (depression, anxiety, insomnia, stress, trauma), and substance use recovery. I provide treatments that help to cultivate an internal space for stillness and regeneration, allowing the body to move deeply into the parasympathetic rest, renew, and restore response for transformative healing and nervous system regulation. I envision a world where acupuncture, bodywork, herbs, and mindful movement are integrated into the mainstream medical system.
I serve as Research Committee Chair for the Oregon Association of Acupuncturists (OAA) and have compiled several large-scale written documents on acupuncture for pain management. I have been a Teaching Assistant for graduate-level research and writing courses at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM). I am always available for writing consultation, whether technical or creative.
You can find me giving and receiving acupuncture, doing yoga, hiking, biking, running, cooking, gardening, watching movies, hanging out with my cat, and listening to music.

COVID-19 RESPONSIVE & RESPONSIBLE
Energy follows thought;
We move toward, but not beyond, what we can imagine.
What we assume, expect, or believe creates and colors our experience. By expanding our deepest beliefs about what is possible,
we change our experience of life.
