After working the past 20 years as an Occupational Therapist in a variety of healthcare settings from hospital based rehabilitation clinics to home care service, I became interested in approaching healing from a different perspective in order to help people become empowered about their health on all levels.
I found acupuncture to resonate with my belief that medicine should be judged in terms of how effective it is in understanding and treating the problem as the patient experiences it.
During my home care visits as an Occupational Therapist, the pain experienced by my patients was present in all aspects of their lives.

Originally from Maryland, I am happy to call New Fairfield my home.
I have one son living here in CT and one still residing in MD.
I was employed for nearly 20 years in various positions at Green Chimneys School in Brewster, NY.
While there, I divided my years between being a Speech and Language Tutor, to High School Science Teacher Assistant to Teacher Assistant in a classroom for children with Autism.
I even got heavily involved in shark conservation, creating a group called the Shark Finatics!

According to Chinese medical theory, the symptoms and signs that indicate a Western diagnosis of allergies relate to imbalances in the meridian and Organ Systems of the body.
These imbalances may stem from a variety of causes, including stress, poor diet, constitutional weakness, pollutants and environmental toxins.
Over time, if imbalances remain within the body, they will affect the functions of the Organ Systems.
Some of these Organ Systems are involved in the production of Wei Qi (pronounced "way chee").
