I provide both Primary
Care and complementary natural health care. I offer acupuncture,
Chinese herbal medicine, massage therapy and nutritional guidance. If
you are seeking a safe and healthful alternative to pharmaceutical
medications, or a complement to your current medical therapy, this is
for you!
My
special areas of interest are women's health, infertility,
endometriosis, headaches, allergies, gastro-intestinal problems, joint
& muscle pain and sports injuries. I also provide herbal and
nutritional alternatives to pharmaceuticals for children's health.
My practice combines acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, massage
therapy, and nutrition into a comprehensive natural health package. I
take the time to listen to patients' concerns and issues, and spend 45
mins to 1 hour on each patient visit. I dispense herbs in tablet and
liquid form, as well as topical powders, patches and ointments from my
on-site herbal pharmacy. I am dedicated to providing safe, effective
natural wellness care with compassion and individualized treatment.
I've been practicing natural therapies since 1996, starting with a
certification in Acupressure massage from the Acupressure Institute in
Berkeley, CA. I then attended Massage Therapy School in Albuquerque, NM
and practiced for 2 years, before also plunging into the exciting world
of Oriental Medicine. I graduated from East West College of Natural
Medicine in 2004 with a Master's of Oriental Medicine. I am licensed in
both Florida and Rhode Island as an Acupuncture Physician and Doctor of
Acupuncture, and I am Nationally Certified in Acupuncture, Chinese
Herbology and Oriental Medicine. I am licensed in both Florida and New
Mexico as a Massage Therapist.
