Hi, I'm Brenna! I work with adolescents, teens and adults who are struggling with disordered eating, recovery from chronic dieting, binge-restrict cycles, body image concerns and wanting to be able to pursue health without obsession. It's common to be interested in or passionate about food, health, wellness exercise - but when those interests become inflexible, or don't allow for you to spend time and feel present doing other things that are important to you, it can be a sign to reach out.

My approach to health is collaborative and holistic; I want to understand who you are and how the imbalance/pain/disease originated, so that we can help the body heal. I typically employ deep acupressure before doing acupuncture, a unique style, and use food, herbs and supplements to strengthen the body. I enjoy teaching people about the traditional oriental philosophy and methods, and also teach relaxation practices and yoga poses.

If you’re struggling with an eating disorder, it’s likely that you’ve felt trapped by rigid rules and limitations surrounding food. I also know that this challenge can become even more complicated if you’re dealing with co-occurring conditions like MCAS, PCOS, POTS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, autoimmune disease, food allergies and intolerances, GI disorders, or you experience neurodivergence such as OCD, ADHD, or ASD. When we work together, you won’t be met with judgment or one-size-fits-all advice. You’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and care that’s grounded in science and true collaboration. You are not just part of this world.

I have a very broad, general practice for people of all ages and problems. I use acupuncture and related techniques to balance a person so that they will be better able to fix themselves. I like to say treatment is like a "tune-up and oil change" for your self-repair mechanism. The goal is to get you to do what you could be doing for yourself, but aren't. As a result many problems can quickly resolve.
