I have had the privilege of studying and working alongside respected practitioners including Joe Bright, founder of Kamaʻāina Community Acupuncture in Kaimukī, Hawaiʻi, and Tai Hawkins of Olanani Acuoasis in Kailua. Through these experiences, I developed a broad clinical background treating chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, paralysis, infertility, and a variety of women’s health concerns. My practice also includes facial rejuvenation and cosmetic acupuncture, and I occasionally incorporate Chinese astrological insights to provide a more individualized approach to care.

In addition to my work as an acupuncturist, I practice and teach Hatha Yoga and continue my studies with Mark Whitwell, founder of the Heart of Yoga approach. His breath-centered teachings emphasize that yoga should be accessible to every body, regardless of age or ability. One of my favorite quotes from Mark is, “The secrets of the universe are in you, as you.”

Before pursuing Oriental Medicine, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts and English from St. Lawrence University. Creativity remains an important part of my life, and I enjoy singing, playing guitar, writing poetry, and painting. I believe that healing and creativity are deeply connected, and I am continually inspired by the ways both can help us reconnect with our authentic selves.

I specialize in musculoskeletal pain, stress-related conditions, PTSD, trauma recovery, hormonal balancing, and nervous system regulation. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with veterans, first responders, and individuals recovering from chronic pain, emotional stress, burnout, injury, and physical imbalance. My goal is to help patients regain mobility, resilience, vitality, and a greater sense of connection to themselves and their lives.

In addition to pain management and holistic wellness care, I offer regenerative and aesthetic therapies including microneedling for facial rejuvenation, hair restoration, scar reduction, and burn support. By combining advanced skin and tissue therapies with holistic healing principles and nutritional guidance, I help patients heal from the inside out while supporting confidence, healthy aging, and overall wellness.

It is an honor to serve the Hawaiʻi community and continue my life’s work of guiding patients toward healing, renewal, balance, and lasting transformation in both body and spirit.
