A passion for healing

My goal is to empower my patients with an understanding of their bodies and health. By doing so, they will have the power to choose the treatments and products that fit their lifestyle and needs.

Being a working woman, I know the importance of maintaining peak health in order to show up in your life, both personally and professionally. My aim is to help you enhance your overall health and maximize your vitality and energy. 

As a patient, you will receive comprehensive care through acupuncture, Chinese medicine, herbal remedies, nutritional review and recommendations based on current research and medical standards, and all in a relaxed setting that feels like home. My practice is founded in the traditions of Chinese Medicine with respect to the needs of modern patients. I believe that integrating Eastern and Western medicine provides effective, comprehensive solutions.

I will always be honest with my patients, tailoring each treatment or program to your exact needs and budget. I put education in the forefront and ensure you have the knowledge you need before making any decisions. 

Education

I am a graduate of the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, which is listed in the top four Oriental Medical Masters and Doctoral schools in America. I furthered my training in Nanjing, China, with internships in three hospitals specializing in Women’s Health and Fertility, Cardiology, and Oncology. My desire to specialize led me to Yo San University where I graduated with a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine and specialized in Women’s Health and Fertility.

After spending years treating couples for fertility issues I became an American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine Fellow. As an ABORM Fellow and Doctor of Infertility and Women’s Health in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I work with Gynecologist and Reproductive Endocrinologist enhancing the western medical approach to reproductive care.

Board certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine since 2004, I demonstrate a commitment to professional development by voluntarily completing at least 20 hours minimum of continuing education every year. 

I opened my own private practice in 2004 where I have continued to study with leaders in the field of Fertility and Women’s Health, Dermatology, and Pain management. I hope to share my education with my patients to help them make informed health care decisions and take control of their own well-being.
