Throughout my life, I have sought knowledge of native and modern approaches to healing. I am a licensed acupuncturist and massage therapist. I specialize in Five Element Acupuncture, Zen Shaitsu, Reiki, Craniosacral Therapy and Herbal Medicine. I augment my treatments through a highly refined intuition that I have acquired through spiritual healing traditions and an innate gift of sight (the ability to follow energetic patterns).
After receiving a traditional education in the United States, I traveled the world for more than 25 years seeking teaching and wisdom from healers, shamans, and spiritual teachers. I learned, and continue my education in, Asian medicine (acupuncture, Shiatsu, and Reiki), orthopedic massage, craniosacral therapy, Sotai, herbal medicine, Inca shamanism, and Native American spirituality and healing.
While I have education in, and am a practitioner of, a wide variety of complementary medicine techniques, I focus on using Asian medicine to bring about healing and balance to your body, mind, and spirit on a deep level. I will also use and blend different Western healing modalities for soft tissue damage and imbalances.
Ultimately, my goal is to assist you in your healing to the point where you never need to see me again. My desire is for all my patients to reach a healthy state of being in body, mind, and spirit independent of me.
