About the Practice

Acupuncture is not something you need to “believe in.” It is something that must be experienced. Just as any effective treatment involves collaboration, the dynamic created between client and practitioner is truly what brings this medicine alive. When it’s the right fit, the results are extraordinary.

Sometimes back pain is just back pain. But oftentimes the symptom is the proverbial finger pointing at the moon. A good acupuncturist will help you get some pain relief. A great practitioner will take you to the source. When we are open to source, there is no limit to the amount of healing that can be achieved.

My practice fuses the principles of classical Chinese medicine with Taoist and Buddhist philosophy and parts work to expand the boundaries of possibility. I approach this work as a collaborative, dynamic exploration where we take on health projects, rather than health problems. I specialize in the meeting of the shen (spirit body) with the elemental physical, and have had phenomenal results working with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, and other imbalances of the nervous system. I also treat all forms of musculoskeletal issues.

I graduated from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, CA and am a licensed acupuncturist in Hawai'i and California and an NCCAOM Diplomate of acupuncture and herbal medicine. I also completed a two-year postgraduate program of study in Classical Chinese herbal medicine.

In 2024 I expanded my Los Angeles-based practice to Maui, and I am thrilled to be able to offer this medicine on both sides of the Pacific.

Whatever your reason for seeking treatment, whether your concern is with the physical, emotional, or spirit body, I know that this medicine has so much to offer you. Come as you are, and let’s find out together!
