All great Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners in history are expertise in using acupuncture and medicinal herbs together for greater effectiveness. While acupuncture has gained popularity in America, many people do not know each component has its own strength. Some conditions cannot be treated effectively without the use of herbs. When herbal treatment is used alone, it's also more affordable. With the commitment to provide effective, comprehensive and affordable treatment, I spent years in the study of medicinal herbs in addition to acupuncture. I am licensed in both acupuncture and herbology.

Too often, I see people equating being healthy with punishing themselves.

Physical and mental health should exist in tandem, not at odds with each other.

In every patient, I see an opportunity to make a difference in that person's life. Many people come to acupuncture after trying every other option.

It is not often we are encouraged to honor our bodies needs. We live in world that teaches us to "watch it" and "have it together", especially around weight and food. Unfortunately, this constant pressure to "be good" can play a role in constant dieting, restricting, binging, purging and an all or nothing attitude around exercise. Fortunately, we can make peace with food and our bodies again. Our approach of trauma informed nutrition counseling and coaching teaches non-diet eating and body wisdom skills to learn to trust and feel safe inside the body and manage chronic issues such as burned and stressed out, PCOS and gut health.

My ideal client comes wanting to make a change and is willing to take on some challenges to help get them to that ideal health place. We make small changes, set goals after each visit, and the client is willing to step outside of their current comfort zone and challenge themselves to change. They want better digestion, less inflammation, a more active lifestyle, improvement in performance (sports and general activity), and to achieve a more desired body type (weight loss, increase in lean mass, or general weight gain).

As a dietitian with a non-diet approach, my nutrition philosophy is rooted in intuitive eating, honoring our bodies, and experiencing joyful movement. I believe that everyone deserves a peaceful relationship with food, movement and their bodies. I work with clients who struggle with food labeling/judgements, weight-cycling and chronic dieting. Together, we will identify goals that meet your own unique needs that allow for a sustainable recovery.
