My Story

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a healer. When I was young that meant being a medical doctor or chiropractor. Through my undergraduate training in Biology at the University of Virginia, I planned on going to medical school.

Through training in the martial arts and meditation, I was privileged to meet mentors who exposed me to new philosophies of and approaches to health and healing. This new path eventually led me to do my own research on acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. The traditional view of the human being as an inseparable part of a natural world imbued with spirit and vitality drew me more deeply into the study of these ancient healing arts.

I graduated from Bastyr University with a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and a Certification in Chinese Herbal Medicine in 2001 and 2002 respectively. In 2001-2002, I completed a year of Residency in Acupuncture at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health, the only program of it’s kind in the United States.

I have had the great fortune of meeting and studying under many instructors-Chinese, Japanese, American and more who have left a powerful impression on me and how I practice acupuncture. I continue to pursue continuing education opportunities, mentorships and the practice of meditation to become a more complete healer and human being.

Working at the Center for Integrative Health and Healing has helped me to broaden my understanding of medicine in general through collaborative efforts with my colleagues, and most of all through my interactions with my clients, who have proved to be my greatest teachers.
