What I Actually Do

Three evidence-based approaches to get you feeling human again. No crystal healing, promise.

Modality

Acupuncture

Also known as "dry needling" by the cool kids

Whether you call it acupuncture or dry needling, here's what actually happens: hair-thin needles go into specific points on your body that tell your nervous system to get its act together. It doesn't really hurt. It really works. And yes, you'll probably fall asleep on the table like everyone else.

Releases Endorphins Your body's natural painkillers. It's a legal high, basically.
Reduces Inflammation Calms the inflammatory response at the source—no ibuprofen required.
Resets Your Nervous System Flips the switch from fight-or-flight to rest-and-repair.
Balances Hormones Your hormones learn to use their indoor voices.

Chinese Herbs

Nature's pharmacy, minus the side effects novel

Chinese herbal medicine has been refined for thousands of years. Unlike the supplement aisle at your grocery store (where you just grab whatever has the nicest label), these formulas are custom-designed for YOUR specific pattern. Your bloating is not the same as your neighbor's bloating. You deserve a formula that knows the difference.

Custom Formulas Personalized to your specific brand of chaos. Not one-size-fits-all.
Between-Visits Support Keeps the healing going after you leave the table. Like a tiny acupuncturist in capsule form.
Root Cause Medicine Treats why you're sick, not just the symptoms you Googled at 2 AM.
Safe & Tested High-quality herbs tested for purity. This isn't the Wild West of supplements.
Best for: Gut Issues Hormones Chronic Conditions Sleep Immunity

Medical Qigong

Movement therapy that actually moves things

Gentle movement and breathing exercises that help your body heal itself. Think physical therapy met meditation and had a really useful baby. Unlike that gym membership you're not using, Qigong requires no special equipment, no spandex, and no Instagram-worthy poses. Just simple, effective movements you can do in 5–15 minutes a day.

Take-Home Toolkit Exercises you actually do because they're easy and they work.
Stress Circuit Breaker Calms your fight-or-flight response. Less stress = less everything-else.
Energy Restoration Counterintuitive but true: gentle movement creates energy instead of draining it.
Accessible to Everyone Can be done sitting or standing. If you can breathe, you can do Qigong.
Best for: Chronic Pain Stress Fatigue Sleep Recovery

Better Together

Every patient gets a custom combination of these three modalities. Acupuncture resets your system on the table. Herbs keep it reset between visits. Qigong gives you the tools to maintain it at home. One-size-fits-all is for ponchos, not medicine.

The Person Behind the Needles

I'm the acupuncturist who won't try to sell you on chakras or tell you to "just think positive." I believe in straight talk, evidence-based medicine, and the radical idea that healthcare should actually help.

My approach is simple: figure out what's wrong, fix it, and give you the tools to stay fixed. No mystical nonsense, no twenty-session packages you don't need.
