I started practicing and teaching medicine in Hunan, China after accomplished 8 years of Western and Chinese medicine program. I also worked in Chinese Medicine practices in Edmonton and Montreal, Canada. In 1997, I established my current practice. I approach patients' conditions with a comprehensive understanding of both Western and Chinese Medicine, which enables me to provide the most suitable treatment and recommendations, whether the ailment is a 5-week-old baby's colic, a 9-month-old baby's prolonged cough or a kid's or adult's lingering headaches, aches, pain, bladder infections, irritable bowel issues or simply malaise.

I am passionate about health & wellbeing and helping people feel their best. Prior to training as an acupuncturist I worked in the field of psychology with adults and adolescents with mental health and emotional issues for over 10 years. Observing how a person's emotional health affected their physical health and how a person's physical health affected their well-being I wanted to retrain in a modality that could address both issues. I began my Acupuncture training in England and studied there for three years, before moving to the US and training for a further three years.

I provide clients with care and treatment that allows them to continue living their lives. When a person has suffered any form of illness or injury, your life can seem to turn into a never-ending road of hospitals, doctors, and therapy. Providing therapeutic massage services allows the body to heal itself in a way that a doctor or pharmaceutical could never do. Seeing that joy in a clients face who is able to get back to the things they enjoy most about their lives (that they thought they would never do again) - is priceless! That's why I love the work that I do!
