My story

I have always known that I wanted to help people and work in healthcare, I just didn't know how exactly. Just before I graduated college a family member sought out holistic medicine to help alleviate severe allergy symptoms. This opened my eyes to a whole new world of medicine and down the rabbit hole I went.

​

Traditional Chinese Medicine immediately clicked with me. It is a safe, effective and radical form of holistic healing. It's ability to treat such a wide variety of disorders will never cease to amaze me. I have always known that there is more to getting better than just taking medication. After graduating from Pacific College and working for a few years in Chicago, I knew that I had developed the skills and the passion and I was excited and ready to bring my favorite healing  modalities back to my home state.​ I am so happy to be rooted here in northern Michigan with so much natural beauty and such an incredible and supportive community.

​

To be able to help people find relief by using teeny tiny needles as a self healing mechanism is  I am grateful to practice this medicine every day. I am honored to be a part of each and every patients health journey. I do not take it lightly that each individual trusts me to be a part of their care team. You've go to take your health into your own hands, find a team that works with you, and supports you to make you feel your best. I look forward to seeing you on the treatment table.
