Why I became an acupuncturist
I’ve been there. I’ve struggled with pain that prevented me from living the life I wanted. Stress overwhelmed me to the point that I lost the motivation and energy to enjoy my life to the fullest. Finding acupuncture is what helped me and the reason I became an acupuncturist.
I chose acupuncture because I value treating the body as a whole, treating each patient as an individual, and treating the root of my patient’s problems. I strongly believe in the benefit of preventative medicine and the importance of keeping my patients in a state of good health.

What is the Balance Method?
I trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine along with the Balance Method taught by Dr. Richard Tan. The Balance Method is effective in treating pain, OB/GYN, digestive complaints, insomnia, and general wellness. Dr. Richard Tan was a third-generation, Taiwanese acupuncturist.
