In addition to specializing in women's healthcare, I also specialize in Orthopedic and Sports Medicine. I have had extensive post-graduate training in both of these areas. Living in Boulder where the community is so active, I have helped many sports enthusiasts return to enjoying their favorite activities post injury. All of patients receive my undivided attention when they are in my treatment room. After an extensive medical intake, I carefully plan their acupuncture treatment series and herbal therapy as well as make lifestyle and dietary recommendations. I also do extensive TCM research outside of the office and teach yoga.

I
enjoy working with people who are new to Acupuncture and Chinese
Medicine. It is important to me that my patients feel at ease and
are comfortable with their treatments. I encourage them to become
involved in the planning and goal-setting. I work extensively with
Women's health, specifically hormone balancing, infertility, all
phases of pregnancy and post-partum care, menstrual pain and
difficulties, and menopause. I focus on the whole person, not just
symptoms. My goal is to fulfill your health goals in a natural,
supportive environment so you are able to live your life to its
fullest!
