Why Choose Asian Medicine?
Asian Medicine encompasses acupuncture, herbal medicine and supplements, targeted nutrition, cupping, gut sha, movement, and lifestyle changes to support balance in body, mind and spirit. Asian Medicine was developed about 3000 years ago and its roots are found in Indian or Ayurvedic Medicine.
Asian Medicine is an excellent choice for mental and emotional well-being and processing of emotions. The goal is to assist your body into a very relaxed, parasympathetic state where healing and deep rest is achieved. Research shows that when we are in this “relaxed state” we feel safe and our body can begin to heal. Stress and inflammation start to melt away.

Choosing asian medicine is choosing to focus on getting the root of what is causing you disharmony or pain—body, mind, and spirit. We look for imbalances through a thorough 1 hour intake, followed by a relaxing treatment. We look at your coloring and your constitution, look at your tongue and feel your pulse as our diagnostic tools to understand how to treat you holistically.

We believe that emotional issues and unhappiness can directly impact the state of the heath of the body so we take mental heath seriously and work to support you emotionally so that you can heal on all levels.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
We stimulate areas on the body called acupuncture points which are along meridians or energy pathways on the body that modern medicine has found to lower inflammation, put your body into the parasympathetic state ( rest and digest state), increase circulation, reduce pain, and positively influence the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian feedback loop as well and the HPA axis for helping with stress relief. In this way, it lowers cortisol and inflammation in the body, and lowers stress helping your body remember what it feels like to feel relaxed, and anxiety free.

I started my Four year master of science degree in Oriental Medicine in 2006 after finishing my bachelors in psychology and also studying violin performance in 2000. I played violin professionally and taught violin for many years as I transitioned fully into my career as an asian medicine practitioner when I was pregnant with my second son. Yeah, I started a business at almost 8 months pregnant after finishing 3 board exams and getting nationally board certified.
Ive owned my own practice now for 11 years in the Valley. I have specialized in Women’s health and fertility which means a lot of focus on hormonal balance, mental health, and calming anxiety, especially after loss. I love supporting the grieving process.
My focus is now a lot on mental and emotional well-being through illness because of my own 2 year journey healing from stage 3b breast cancer. I am now cancer free. I had to embrace radical acceptance and get radically honest with my husband about my needs and what wasn’t working for me. I realized my relationship and personal happiness needed to be put front and center in order for me to heal which meant releasing resentment and exercising my voice in the relationship. I changed and he changed. Love flourished. Healing happened.
I provide the gentle, loving support that I know we all need on the healing journey from dis-ease or chronic illness. We also provide guidance and coaching for women going through the breast cancer journey with or without the needles as we can do this virtually or in office.
I share the healing tools that helped me thrive during my treatments which were a blend of integrative medicine: herbal medicine, high dose vitamin c ivs, 3 surgeries, 16 sessions of chemo, supplements and herbs from my integrative oncologist, nutrition, daily exercise, acupuncture, prayer and mediation, support from family and friends, and more.
We all need support and love on this journey. I am here to provide that. It feels healing for me to provide this type of support to you. There is a lot of grieving that can come with the healing process as we shed old ways of being and doing and allow ourselves to become someone new. It can be a rebirth of sorts and I am here for it. It takes radical honesty and acceptance on your part to look at parts of you that may have contributed to imbalance and suffering. I provide a nurturing environment to process emotions and also encouragement and accountability.
