I am able to spend time with my clients and within a period of time understand them on a profound energetic basis. I use my training in Chinese Medicine to determine their constitution and what they may need to balance and heal themselves through the use of acupuncture, Chinese herbology, Tai Chi, Qigong and therapeutic food choices. I use my training in energy body medicine to determine what they may need to become more whole and more loving to themselves.

I look at their activities of daily living and make recommendations for exercise so that their bodies can be more fit, suggestions about what they can do to bring more joy into their life, and guide them in creating a supportive community of kind and support people around them.

I am the quintessential wholistic practitioner who embraces clients with loving kindness and expert suggestions to guide them into a new life beginning filled with vibrant Qi, nurtured and pacified spirit, and a strong resilient yet flexible bodymind. I teach them through example as I follow the principles that I teach as I strive for higher levels of healthful living. I do whatever I can to impart the jewels of Chinese Medicine into others' lives so that they can balance themselves energetically.

I have brought together my masters training in the disciplines of social work counseling, exercise physiology, herbology, energy medicine, and acupuncture to better serve my clients. I truly care about helping others and have made it my life's work to empower others to find within themselves the ability to heal. I believe that everyone has the ability to maximize their innate healing capabilities.

I encourage and guide people how to find this within themselves by creating a safe environment where people can trust and open to the healing potential that is sometimes locked up deep within.

• Through acupuncture, my clients are able to unlock and release old holding patterns to re-establish the free flow of Qi, vital energy, within their system. They learn how to establish a new way of being with themselves filled with trust and vibrancy.
• Through practice of tai chi or qigong, my clients learn to cultivate and maintain abundant reserves of Qi within themselves to be used whenever necessary.
• Through learning better choices in food and how to listen to their inner desires, my clients learn to nourish themselves in the right amounts, at the right time, with the right foods.
• Through understanding and honoring their feelings and trusting their thoughts, my clients empower themselves to release problematic behavior and old patterns in order to create a new way of moving in life filled with contentment and true satisfaction.
• Through teaching the healing power of therapeutic massage, my clients have learned how to release tension from their bodies and experience more freedom of movement in all ways.

I have had the honor of sharing my healing work with others for more than thirty years which in itself makes me an expert even though after all of this time I still approach my work as a novice always ready to learn something new, as a novice always seeing my clients with new eyes, and with a childlike amazement every time I witness another client getting and feeling better in their life.

It truly is incredible that things can change when we are given the tools and guidance to do so. The human body is a wondrous entity capable of incredible and powerful healing. I feel blessed to be given the tools to help others. I look forward to learning more and more as I get older so that I can help people more and more.

I am an expert at what I do, but have so much to learn. I look forward to being here for many more years so that I can evolve the best possible health practitioner that I can possibly be in service to the health of others.
