Background
Before my life as an Acupuncturist, I was studying business and social science at SUNY Albany. After graduating from College, my father told me he was receiving acupuncture to help with his insomnia. I knew nothing about acupuncture except what I saw in the movies. After seeing his improvement I became very curious and one year later I enrolled in acupuncture school.
After years of practicing, I decided to accept a position as a cruise ship acupuncturist which allowed me to sail around the world and educate people on the benefits of holistic medicine as well as offer my acupuncture services. It was a dream come true!
Several years ago I was called to dive deeper into my path as a healer. I decided to travel to the Amazon jungle of Peru to partake in an ancient healing ritual using a plant medicine called Ayahuasca. Shamans have used this plant for centuries as a tool for self healing and to help raise the consciousness of humans. I came back from that experience a different person and gained a new perspective on heath and healing.
Philosophy
My experience with acupuncture was life changing. I suffered with depression for as long as I could remember and after my first treatment I felt a profound and immediate shift. I knew I had discovered a tremendously powerful modality and I couldn’t wait to share it with the world!
I specialize in helping patients understand the connection between their emotional body and their physical body. When these two are balanced and in harmony, heath and well-being are the result.
