I work with men and women with chronic disease ready to become healthy again. There's many ways your disease could be impacting your life... ruining your skin, so much so that you hide it.

Perhaps you're tired and can't think straight. Or you're on and off prednisone and are sick of hours of biologic infusions. Got an ANA, RF or other antibodes that all your providers seem to be ignoring? We'll help sort it out!

Are you tired of sacrificing your social life because of your Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? Does everything you eat trigger your symptoms? Have you tried medications or self-directed elimination diets with no success? You are not alone! IBS is the most common GI disorder worldwide – affecting 10-15% of the population. Medications are a band aid but do not reveal the root cause. Diet recommendations have good intentions but do not work for everyone. In many cases, food sensitivities are the root cause of these chronic health issues. Conditions like IBS and autoimmune diseases are made worse by inflammation from diet.

If you're frustrated with traditional medicine, I can help. I see many patients who are struggling with pain, weight loss, stress, menopause, or other symptoms that have not responded well to other forms of treatment. I use a blend of gentle therapies that effectively treat the root of your condition, while catering to the most needle-phobic or skeptical patient. Check out the testimonials on my website to see how I've helped others like you to turn their health around with Chinese medicine.
