Tell us about yourself

I first came to natural healing through acupuncture 35 years ago for my mental and emotional health, and it had great results. I then set out on a path to make Oriental Medicine my life's work. I first became a Massage Therapist, then went on to receive a Master's Degree from The Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Columbia, Maryland, which is now called The Maryland University of Integrative Health. In addition, I became certified in NAET and The Loomis System of Digestive Health.

Every time I see our patients improve and achieve their health goals, it motivates me to continue working to make a difference for people and living out the motto: "Changing Lives One Patient at a Time."
