About Us

For over 20 years, I’ve helped people find relief, balance, and renewed energy through Traditional Chinese Medicine. My goal is simple: to help you feel better, live fully, and heal using gentle, effective remedies—without the long list of side effects that often come with pharmaceuticals.

Every person’s path to wellness is unique, which is why I take time to truly listen and create an individualized plan that may include Acupuncture, Nutritional guidance, Chinese massage, meditation techniques, yoga therapy, cranio-sacral therapy, and other integrative modalities. Together, we work toward restoring your body’s natural ability to heal itself—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

My passion for natural healing comes from personal experience. In 2001, I survived a severe burn accident that left me hospitalized for weeks with second- and third-degree burns. While the conventional treatments saved my life, the medications I was prescribed nearly cost me my health in other ways. That experience set me on a lifelong mission to find safer, more holistic ways to heal pain and trauma—and to help others do the same.

Today, I share what I’ve learned through my Manhattan Beach private practice and through this blog, created for patients who want to understand how Eastern Medicine, mindfulness, and nutrition can transform their health. You’ll find insights that bridge ancient wisdom with the latest research in integrative medicine.

Before moving to California, I practiced at St. Vincent’s Cancer Center and Fairfield County Integrative Medicine. I earned my undergraduate degree from New York University and my Master’s in Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, both Magna Cum Laude. I am certified by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to treat oncology patients, trained in Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation, and certified in Reiki and Children’s Yoga Instruction.
