Health Professionals in Rhode Island
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.

“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.
