I believe we are all born intuitive eaters, and in order to return to this, we must heal from the messages thrown our way by diet culture and remember how to trust our own instincts and experiences. During my dietetic internship, I also nurtured a love for GI nutrition and have seen that for those with GI disorders, intuitive eating practices can be integral to finding peace with food as well.

I love helping people. I am passionate about listening to your story and history when it comes to eating and dieting. As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN or RD) I provide individualized Medical Nutrition Therapy and Nutrition Counseling with empathy and understanding for your personal food journey.

Do you struggle with digestive issues, joint aches and pains, fatigue, or problems with losing weight? Perhaps you’ve been told that all of your lab work looks good, but you still don’t feel good? You may even feel like there is something that is being missed. You may be aware that labs coming back normal does not always mean you are experiencing optimal health. Having symptoms such as gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, pain, and/or low energy means that something is off. One thing that often underlies each of these symptoms is inflammation.

My interest in acupuncture began in 1986 after I first received treatment. My positive experience led me to want to study the tradition and to offer it to others. The foundation of my practice is in Five-Element Acupuncture. Continuing education has led me to other treatment forms that work well with the Five-Element tradition. Since 2004 I have been certified as an Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist working with addictions. Since 2006 I have been certified as a Zero Balancer. I use Dr. Tan's Balance method for pain relief. I enjoy working with both children and adults, and employ acupressure and non-insertive needle techniques for those who would prefer an option to working with the needles. My approach to treatment is to hold each patient in their wholeness, working from a place that sees human beings as an integral part of nature made up of complex relationships between their anatomy and physiology and their emotional and spiritual bodies. I listen and respond to the body's systems as uniquely expressed by each person to address imbalances and restore health and well-being. With improved balance in the body's systems, the quality of your life will be enhanced.

Acupuncture is a safe, effective, and natural form of healthcare that will get you feeling your best. Treating a patient is not just a matter of giving someone acupuncture. All aspects of your wellness are addressed, from stress management, and exercise, to diet and simple lifestyle changes. Watching patients reclaim their health, and seeing the immense changes that transpire over weeks or months, is truly phenomenal. Many patients come to me after "trying everything else," and it's great to be able to give them the relief they've been searching for.
