About Me

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture first became important to me as a patient in my early twenties. I experienced success treating my own health issues with both Chinese and Tibetan medicine over the years under the care of qualified practitioners. As a result, I developed an immense respect for these medical systems and wanted to learn everything I could about how they work.

I hold a doctorate degree in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture with an additional specialization in Chinese Herbal Medicine (DAcCHM). In order to continue to refine my clinical skills, I study with senior practitioners in the field such as Andrew and JulieAnn Nugent-Head at the Association for Traditional Studies, and owe them an immense deal of gratitude for continuing to inspire my perspective.
