We eat at least 3-4 times a day or 21-28 times a week. Eating is an activity we have been engaging in since we were born. We used to know when we were hungry and when we were full. When this energy giving and life sustaining act becomes a source of confusion, guilt and fear, when eating becomes disordered and turns into a dangerous coping mechanism, it is time to evaluate what we are doing and explore how we can normalize our behavior so our minds and body can function in a healthy way to support our goals.

Our bodies are our first homes. And yet, the struggle to belong in our skin and bones is widespread. From an early age, we are taught to mistrust our bodies; tune out its sensations and longings.

You are here because you know you deserve to belong in your body. I am here to witness your journey toward building a loving and embodied relationship with yourself and the world around you.

I am a practitioner of traditional Japanese acupuncture and have studied extensively with master acupuncturist Koji Ichihashi of the Kurumadani School of Japan. Japanese acupuncture technique involves shallow insertion of very thin, delicate needles into points along the Meridians of the body. It is a relaxing spa-like treatment that is gentle and essentially pain free. This style incorporates medical Shiatsu massage while the needles are in the body. I give my patients self-care education, Qigong (energy movement), nutritional counseling and suggest Chinese herbal therapies and/or supplements in a nurturing environment.
