A little more about me.

What do you do in your free time?

I love being out in nature, especially near the Pacific Ocean. I love reading and am usually delving into a topic about health, spirituality, or psychology/self-cultivation. I treasure moments being with friends. Spiritual practices fill my heart. Traveling does, too. Writing and journaling are parts of self-expression I have carried into my daily practices since I was young.

What do you love?

Aside from TCM and holistic health- I love learning about systems such as Human Design, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and the Enneagram. My energy type is a 4/6 Splenic Projector, so I love invitations to share what I learn. My biggest interest is helping people learn how to get un-stuck by illuminating their full potential and guiding them to embrace authentic change.

I also love eating fresh fruit (persimmons and raspberries), baking bread, and learning about astrology.

Why did you choose to study TCM/East Asian medicine?

I feel like acupuncture chose me. I began receiving acupuncture for the first time during my last year of graduate school while studying to become a mental health counselor. I noticed a change in how I viewed the world, my emotions, and the clients I worked with during my internships. I felt a deep curiosity and calling to learn about the channels within the body. Once I learned more about acupuncture, I realized I felt at home in this medicine in a way that added depth to my love of psychology and freedom.
