I’m a Licensed Acupuncturist, nationally board certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, and I hold a Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine (MSTOM) from Pacific College of Health and Science. 

As a lifelong athlete, I’m fueled by my curiosity about the human body and spirit. After spending my early adulthood as a ski and surf bum, I began my healing arts career when I took a 200 hour yoga teacher certification in 2006. I went on to complete 1,000 hours of massage therapy training in 2008 at the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts in Santa Fe, NM. Over the next decade, I worked as a massage therapist and yoga instructor in a variety of settings. In that time, I also studied western herbalism and completed a six month intensive herbal apprenticeship. 

In 2018 I made the leap towards becoming a holistic primary care practitioner and enrolled in Chinese Medicine School in San Diego, CA. In my first term of school, I sustained a life changing injury while surfing. Along with a lot of physical therapy and a positive mindset, I used acupuncture, herbs, and nutrition to heal my body and recover. Two years later, while still in school, I discovered I was pregnant with twins! Again, I turned to the medicine I was learning to have a healthy pregnancy, a natural birth free of complications, and a nourished postpartum. Since graduating in 2024, I have specialized in orthopedics, women’s health, cosmetic acupuncture, and Traditional Chinese Herbalism.

Outside of my practice, You can find me swimming laps in the pool, living off-grid with my husband and kids, and gardening with my mom..
