My office provides a quiet, calm space dedicated to gentle, supportive healthcare for people who want personalized treatment with a focus on healing all parts of themselves - body, mind, emotions, and spirit. My practice is deeply rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, a form of holistic medicine comprised of acupuncture, dietary and herbal therapy, moxibustion, cupping, breathing exercises, and massage.

Utilizing my training in spiritual direction, I also facilitate personal and spiritual exploration for those who seek it. In my over 30 years of experience treating a wide variety of health concerns with acupuncture and Chinese herbs in Davis, I have developed a philosophy of care that sees patients as individuals, not as diseases or problems to be treated.

I believe that a healing environment includes allowing ample time for each patient, carefully listening to the details of each person's story and situation, answering questions as I go along, and encouraging practical and easy-to-implement lifestyle changes to continue treatment at home.

Several thousand years ago, East Asian practitioners discovered that the body forms disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of life.
Oriental medical theory explains these disharmonies as an imbalance of opposing forces called Yin and Yang.
This imbalance disrupts the movement of the body's vital energy (Qi) along the meridian pathways, which are channels through which the body's energy is thought to flow.
Acupuncture restores the smooth flow of Qi.
By inserting and manipulating needles at specific points on the body, I am able to return the body to its natural balance and promote the body's ability to heal itself.
Chinese herbs are often used in conjunction with acupuncture for added therapeutic effect.

Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining inside your uterus (the endometrium) is found outside of it, usually within the pelvic cavity.
This tissue grows and sloughs in response to your monthly cycle.
Because the blood is trapped inside the pelvic cavity, it often forms adhesions (scar tissue), lesions and blood-filled cysts.
Endometriosis can start as early as your first period.
While the condition usually improves a at menopause, symptoms may not resolve if you have scar tissue or adhesions from the disease and/or surgery.
