Inquiry. Curiosity. Innovation. Collaboration.
Rooted in inquiry and curiosity
I approach healing as both a thoughtful innovator and collaborative partner. I’ve been practicing Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine, full time, since 2001. As a life-long learner and an active participant in the examination of a life well lived, I have a maturity that informs my perspective.
Prior to my move to Maine, I founded and led an Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine practice in Philadelphia. My clinic was a fixture in the neighborhood and served a diverse community for more than 24 years. As a Board Certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine and Maine Licensed Acupuncturist, I see my role as a collaborative guide and approachable ally bringing thoughtfulness and integrity to individualized care.
“My passion for Chinese Medicine is rooted in ongoing inquiry and deep appreciation for what has shaped medical theory, biases and strategies. My studies and personal exploration have led me on a continuing journey, alongside my patients, to unravel the mysteries and pursuits that create a life well lived.”
