A convergence of interests. My life experiences and long-standing interests brought me to the practice of classical Chinese medicine and my specialties--problems of mid or later years, psychoemotional challenges, dermatology and herbs for children and teens. Early passion for plants and gardening. My dad was an organic gardener long before it became fashionable.
I grew up reading Organic Gardening magazine back when it was a half-inch thickness of newsprint. Asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, one of my hopes was "botanist." At age 12, I couldn't get enough gardening by helping out in my Dad's garden, so I talked an elderly neighbor woman who wasn't using her back yard into letting me plow it up. I mostly planted potatoes since my Dad's garden had the rest we needed, but I loved that garden.
Those childhood experiences inspired joy and confidence about plants that has only grown and extends to my professional passion for herbal medicine. As an adult there have been many gardens. I grew a large share of my family's food for a number of years.

Services
Each of us is like a tree.
If we bend or wither due to poor nourishment, injury, weather or disease, healing happens when our individual nature is honored and usually it happens slowly and gently.
Like good rain, sun and fertile soil, the 2500-year tradition of classical Chinese medicine--custom herbal treatment, acupuncture and insight (to mental, emotional or spiritual issues associated with our physical problems)--can help restore us to health.
Some patients find acupuncture alone effective.
