About me

"
As a native of the San Francisco Bay Area, my journey into the healing arts began during my undergraduate years at UCSC. There, I discovered my innate ability for healing touch and learned how to release and prevent physical tensions. When faced with my own health challenges, I embarked on a transformative journey that led me to explore holistic healing modalities beyond the scope of Western medicine.

Driven by a passion for knowledge, I obtained an MA in Holistic Health Education, became an ordained Minister through the Center for Sacred Studies, and earned a Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine. As a licensed acupuncturist since 2009, I integrate various healing tools into my practice, including guided meditations, NAET, cupping, needling, herbs, qigong, and breathwork. Together with my partner, Kenneth Hooper, an award-winning world flute artist, we offer sound healing events and relaxation classes.

By addressing the root cause of your health concerns, Chinese medicine facilitates profound healing. While I can focus on symptom relief, I specialize in guiding you to activate your innate healing potential. Through a personalized approach, I help you achieve dynamic health, balance, and resilience.
