I have offered health and wellness treatment through therapeutic-minded care for nearly 25 years. I am Ohio Medical Board Certified and Licensed Acupuncturist with good standing with the NCCAOM acupuncture commission. I have held certification in Yoga Therapy through the International Association of Yoga Therapists and have achieved the highest certification of E-RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance. While I no longer offer yoga as part of my services, the knowledge integrates into my work as an acupuncture clincian.
I bring my years of continuing education and experience in breathwork, body mechanics, mindfulness and holistic wellness to create a multi-disciplined approach to support the health and healing journey of my patients.
I have a deep love of nature. In my free time, you can find me on the water paddling, swimming or snorkeling. Out of the water, I'm hiking, gardening, cooking or reading. I love travel and exploring the world.

Acupuncture: I have logged over 2700 patients since January 2021 to August 2024. I continue to grow my business and base in Athens, Ohio with acupuncture clients.
Massage: I have logged thousands of client massage hours since I first began the work in 2007. With my combined knowledge of body mechanics and educational experience, I offer a unique style of massage and recognize client needs. Additions to my massage tool kit consist of essential oils, gua sha, and cupping therapy.
Yoga: I have trained teachers, taught at workshops, conferences and retreats, filmed multiple technique videos, created two practice DVDs, attended continuing education events for over 20 years. My passion is centered in Yoga as Therapy which uses yoga and body mechanics to help people heal from repetitive motion injuries from office work to sports endeavors. I integrate this into my acupuncture clinical experience with patients but no longer offer stand alone classes or private yoga work. You can check out what my clients have to say about my work here.
