Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Nutrition

Traditional Chinese Medicine for a Healthy Body and Balanced Life.

Welcome to my website.

I am a Licensed Acupuncturist in San Francisco, California with a focus in the treatment of chronic pain, sports injuries, women's health, migraine, digestive disorders, and emotional health.

I offer a holistic approach which means that I look at the whole person. I create a healing plan designed for your specific health needs to bring your body back to its' natural state of balance. This may include acupuncture, cupping, customized herbal formulas, whole foods nutrition, and self-care education. What I can offer you:

  • Quality, effective treatments and high professional standards. I only work with the highest quality Chinese herbs that have been tested to be free of contaminants and heavy metals.
  • My full attention and quality time. First visits are from 75 minutes to 2 hours. We thoroughly review your health history and current health issues. Together we come up with a plan to bring your body back to balance.
  • Compassionate support. I am available to answer questions and concerns and offer support through your healing process.
  • Referrals to other holistic-minded practitioners and high quality medical care. I offer an integrative approach working with your current doctors and practitioners. When appropriate, I also make referrals to my network of trusted professionals who can support your optimal health.
  • Convenient insurance billing for those with Landmark Insurance or those with PPO plans that cover acupuncture for out-of-network providers. Go to the Appointments page for insurance details.

If you have any questions, feel free to email or call me to learn more. To schedule an appointment, go to the Schedule An Appointment page.

Thank you for visiting.
