Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

---

Chinese medicine, practiced for over 2,000 years, is a profound healing system that addresses the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. It is grounded in the understanding that physical symptoms often reflect deeper imbalances within or with our environment. Symptoms are seen as messages from the body, offering insight into patterns of imbalance. By addressing all layers of our being, acupuncture and Chinese medicine help restore harmony, resilience, and vitality.

As a seasoned practitioner and the founder of an award-winning acupuncture and community wellness clinic in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’ve supported thousands of clients through a variety of conditions.

My acupuncture sessions are particularly beneficial for those who are:

• Managing chronic or complex health challenges—such as persistent pain, autoimmune conditions, or hormonal imbalances—and feeling stuck or uncertain in their healing journey.
• Ready to heal patterns of nervous system dysregulation, including anxiety, hypervigilance, overwhelm, or freeze responses rooted in chronic stress or trauma.
• Seeking to restore vitality and balance after periods of depletion or during significant life transitions

.

My approach integrates traditional Chinese medicine with modern insights into the nervous system’s role in chronic health conditions, providing tailored care that supports your whole being.

Complex or Unexplained Conditions

Mysterious health issues that defy conventional diagnosis

Through this breadth of experience, I’ve come to see that lasting healing often requires addressing the relationship between physical symptoms, emotional or nervous system patterns and environmental or lifestyle factors.

Each 60- or 90-minute session is designed to address both physical and emotional dimensions of your health. Depending on your needs, your treatment may include:

• Somatic practices to rewire nervous system patterns and build resilience
• Pain Reprocessing Therapy to shift chronic pain responses
• Energy healing, with or without hands-on touch
• Cupping therapy, red light therapy, or Celluma for recovery and pain relief
• Nutritional & Lifestyle counseling based on Chinese medicine, functional medicine and holistic health principles
• Herbal medicine to support your body’s natural healing processes

Whether you’re navigating a chronic condition or seeking to feel more at home in your body, this work helps you cultivate resilience, balance, and a renewed sense of well-being.

For local clients, acupuncture can be seamlessly combined with somatic coaching to deepen the healing process. This combination is particularly beneficial for:

• Addressing nervous system dysregulation, such as chronic stress, trauma, or anxiety
• Strengthening the mind-body connection for greater self-awareness and healing
• Supporting transformation during periods of life change or personal growth
