Pediatric care-I've worked under the direction and mentorship of Dr Ruth McCarty a trailblazer in the integration of Western and Eastern medicine and one of the countries leading acupuncturist in pediatric care. Women's Health-during my schooling I took a keen interest in women's health. I am passionate about helping regulate the menses, helping with fertility challenges, and reminding women that our health is the best indicator of the health of those around us.
Esoteric Acupuncture-for those who already feel comfortable with their current health, this technique is to enhance your spiritual awareness & consciousness. I can sum it up for you: the night after I had esoteric acupuncture, I had my first out of body experience. The goal of esoteric acupuncture is to align body, mind and spirit consciousness.

Acupuncture is an ancient technique with modern application.
In Acupuncture, a sterile one-time use needle is inserted in a specific anatomical place in your body as the method to activate an acupuncture point.
The gentle insertion of the needle into your body will make contact with you own Qi, also known as life force/vitality, and will stimulate the free flow of energy to bring balance to your body.
Acupuncture stimulates one or more of our immune systems, which can increase the rate of healing response.

Remember seeing Michal Phleps (the US Gold Medalist winner) with those perfectly round purple spots on his body?
Or for those of us who grew up with Traditional Medicine-do you remember your grandmother, aunt or mother actually doing the "ventosas"?
Cupping is a technique where the suction is placed on your skin, then a suction is incited and the skin is raised.
The raising of the skin separates the skin layer from the muscle layer causing blood to rush to the area, replenishing the muscles and tendons.

As an Acupuncturist, I have been trained on the healing properties of food.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has an extensive categorization of food properties such as foods that "clear heat", "tonify body fluids", "clear dampness", etc.
Thus, when assessing your health, we will discuss the types of foods you eat, amount, the time you eat, your flavor cravings, and then develop a plan to help support your health goals.
We will discuss your sleep patterns, exercise, stress levels and come up with a plan to improve your lifestyle decisions so they are conducive to your health goals.

In Western terminology, moxibustion could be described as a vasodilator, so it helps improve circulation in the body.
This technique helps improve circulation in the body, thus it boost your immune system and improves pain.
I used this technique on most adults and very commonly on children.
Children many times are afraid of the acupuncture needles and need support in their developing immune system, so this technique is my choice of treatment.

I've had the unique opportunity to be trained in pediatric treatment by Dr. Ruth McCarty.
As a student, I participated in a 6-month internship at the Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) where I learned to treat children with physical pain, terminal illness and delayed development.
Post internship I became a Staff Acupuncturist at Dr. Ruth McCarty's private practice, Open Mind Modalities, where she continued to mentor and train me.
Treating children requires extensive training and experience and I am honored to have had that training and continue to grow it.
