to heal is our nature. to help is our purpose.

ABOUT


Having had the great fortune of studying traditional Chinese medicine in my twenties with some of the most profound teachers in the field, I’ve spent my career employing these disciplines, teachings and treatments in helping others. It’s an honor and a privilege.

After over twenty years running a busy acupuncture practice in San Francisco, I was ready for a break. I spent a few years traveling, living on the big island of Hawaii, resting, and healing myself from years of urban hustle.

I’ve settled down again and am thrilled to be back to seeing patients. My Los Angeles practice is in our wonderful craftsman home on the east side. Patients enjoy the intimate setting, and experiencing the deep relaxation and nourishment that it helps provide.

At each visit I provide my undivided attention. We’ll talk, and do a combination of acupuncture, bodywork, dry-needling, cupping, and other techniques to facilitate your body’s natural ability to heal and be pain-free.

I’d be happy to hear from you to discuss what’s happening in your life and if I think I can help.
