Health Professionals in Rhode Island
Everyone has a unique food story, some are filled with joy or comfort and others with regret, shame and frustration. No matter what your relationship with food has been, I can work with you to make changes. If you have suffered with an eating disorder or engage in behaviors that you do not feel are "normal," let's talk and figure out how to make realistic changes that work for you. Even if you have been suffering with this for years, I can help. Do you have a diabetes diagnosis and need help with figuring out what or how to eat, do you have bloating, diarrhea and constipation and are frustrated because you don't know why?

“Diet starts Monday”. “I’ll burn this off tomorrow”. “I wish I looked like them”. Sound familiar? If so, this is for you...
Starting a diet may seem like exactly what you need, but it can actually create more disdain and feelings of guilt as you get lost in the diet cycle. You may lose a sense of self as you connect your body and food with worth, further perpetuating an unhealthy relationship with food and movement. Remember, diversity is what makes us wonderfully human! Taking care of yourself doesn’t need to involve shrinking down to fit a mold. Shifting your mindset can be challenging, this is where I come in.

First taught by my grandmother to help with my father's headaches, I have been doing massage all my life. I pursued it as a career after receiving prenatal massage while pregnant with my daughter.

I specialize in fertility / infertility acupuncture, pain management acupuncture and stress disorders, but my practice is multi-fold and I work with far more than just that. I work with my patients from a holistic perspective, in which we look at diet, lifestyle and all else that can influence health. While I use acupuncture (and other Chinese healing modalities when necessary), I like to see that the patient is able to find freedom from symptoms and retain positive health on their own through their newly found knowledge about their health.
