I found acupuncture by mistake. I was terrified of needles (I'm still afraid of hospital style needles). I had NEVER been athletic, yet somehow, in early 2012, I was training for my first Kettlebell Sport competition. Did I mention that I was over 40? That's why my knee and elbow were feeling cranky. Completely against my will, my Kettlebell Sport Coach made me go to an acupuncturist.
I rolled my eyes at both of them. Looking back, I'm sure I was embarrassingly condescending about the "fact" that I knew the acupuncturist couldn't help me. Obviously, she did. I didn't even feel the needles! We fixed the elbow and knee right away and started working on the things that had plagued me for my entire adult life (and I'd assumed were unfixable): ALLERGIES!
Astonishingly, we fixed those too. And the rest, as they say. I specialize in a style of acupuncture that is comfortable, safe, and effective. It's excellent for chronic conditions such as diabetes, allergies, and autoimmune conditions. Also, acupuncture ROCKS at supporting the body during times of stress such as anxiety, depression, or chemotherapy.

I work directly with you to find the best treatment and solutions for you, and thus spend my time with you rather than insurance companies.
