I graduated from Traditional Acupuncture Institute with a master's degree in acupuncture. Tai Sophia Institute (formerly Traditional Acupuncture Institute) was the first accredited acupuncture program in the United States. I am a member of the faculty of the acupuncture program at Tai Sophia.
I also hold a bachelor's degree in psychology and have worked with developmentally challenged individuals. I spent over 8 years teaching martial arts and managing a martial arts school. I have been practicing a Japanese martial art for over 20 years and hold a 3rd degree black belt.
In addition, I recently completed my M.A. degree in Applied Healing Arts from Tai Sophia. The work I did in that program has fostered my interest in and ability to develop a healing relationship with each patient.
I am the co-author of two books and have authored numerous articles on history, philosophy and psychology as well as acupuncture and energy healing. Learning and studying new ideas and acupuncture techniques are a very important part of my life.
I am dedicated to providing a clear approach to treatment for people who are seeking partnership in their healing.

Color in the Five Element Acupuncture Model
There are five elements in the classical system of acupuncture. Each element has a primary color associated with it. The five elements are Metal (white), Water (blue/black), Wood (green), Fire (red), and Earth (yellow). The colors have an energetic property to them beyond just the wavelength of light. Each color is associated with the energetic movement of its corresponding element and speaks of the balance or imbalance of that energy. In harmony all five colors are present to the same degree.

Chinese Medicine and Seasonal Affective Disorder
The phenomenon of winter is the need to conserve and replenish. This can be seen in nature: most animals hibe ate or remain near their nests, only venturing forth to replenish their food supply. Winter is a time to gather in, to remain still and quiet. Trees have pulled their resources in and hold them deep within their trunks and roots. Human beings should gather their energy in as well. To remain healthy in the winter, both physically and emotionally, it is important to conserve energy, to rest when tired and sleep later if possible.
