When we experience a supported way through an unbalanced state, our healing holds lasting results. I have many gifts to share with you. I use the wealth of knowledge rooted in this ancient tradition to bring the worlds medicine to you.

Healing Approach Used
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a time-tested medical system used for over 2000 years to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness. It offers effective solutions for physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. This sophisticated approach also recognizes that individuals manifest disease differently.
Chinese medicine is constantly moving between complexity and simplicity. Born in balance, it recognizes that healing takes place in various stages. In particular, it embraces the art of navigating each stage uniquely. By addressing the matrix of healing, I can effectively treat a wide range of disharmonies, ensuring that each person receives independent and personalized care for their body system.
Our healing, like nature, is not random. We are part of a universe that is in a constant state of alchemical transformation, a universal web of life. We are interdependent, like the origin of Yin and Yang.
RareBird Acupuncture's Helper Dog
Bruno
Bruno joined my private practice in 2020, at the start of the pandemic. He started out part-time, but due to popular demand from patients, Bruno became a full-time professional comforter. He likes to greet patients upon their arrival and often rests along with you during your session. Read a bit more about animals as healers
