I am skilled at treating pain of all sorts, whether acute or chronic, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, endometriosis, infertility, GYN issues, autoimmune disorders, and other complex chronic conditions. I also really like supporting pregnant patients through the pregnancy and postpartum.
I’m passionate about the magic that happens in the treatment room. No treatment is exactly the same, even if I am doing a treatment using the same points as another treatment that we have done in the past. This happens by being present as to the energy moving in the room and within my patients. The general feedback I’ve gotten from patients is essentially, “I have had acupuncture before, but it has never been like this.” People feel the energy move, have the experience of healing as unique as the person themselves, and through this process, patients play an active role in their healing. I have the pleasure of actively witnessing and facilitating a healing energetic field, it’s quantum physics in action. The cool part is, it is not just theoretical; it is in the body. I know the channels and the points like the back of my hand, but I am always amazed when I insert an acupuncture needle in a point. Stuff moves, energy moves, experiences, past traumas, stuck patterns resolve. It’s powerful, fun, and humbling to play a part in that.
I practice several modalities but they all sort of blend together in my treatments based on what the patient needs from a diagnostic perspective and what the patient wants to get out of a session. I practice acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, medical Qigong, spiritual healing, gua sha, cupping, and my own style of intuitive energetic manual release. My treatments are equally as physical as they are energetic or spiritual. It’s also worth mentioning that if you have no desire for any of the woo woo energy, spiritual stuff, that’s totally cool and I can still help you with your back pain or jaw pain, or whatever you are coming in for. I do it all the time!
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my wife and two lively children, hanging out in nature, camping, hiking, or swimming. I enjoy listening to and seeing live music. I play the guitar and sing (though not as much as I used to). Riding motorcycles brings me joy, and I’ve recently gotten into plants. I’m into living a life of love and service.
