I specialize in Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, Integrative and Functional Medicine, Nutritional Counseling, and various Body-Mind therapies.

My care is personal, patient-centered and educational.

As a Functional Medicine practitioner, I recognize and treat the body as a network of cooperative systems that continually interact with and affect each other.

My healing focus is on the whole person – their physical and medical condition, lifestyle habits, unique personalities and life-circumstances, which affect their health in various ways.

Since 1998, I’ve studied with award-winning, Harvard Medical School trained clinical research scientist, academic professor, and world-renowned Functional Medicine healthcare provider, Datis Kharrazian, PhD, DHSc, DC, MS, MMSc, FACN. I’ve trained extensively in Dr. Kharrazian’s evidence-based models for treating auto-immune, neurological, and unidentified chronic diseases with non-pharmaceutical applications, as well as Functional Medicine, Neuro-Endocrine Immunology, Thyroid issues, Brain and Neurotransmitter assessment, and Functional Blood Chemistry and Laboratory Assessment. I am a member of the Kharrazian Institute.

Since 1991, I’ve studied with Stephen Stiteler, L.Ac, OMD, HMD, NMD, become a proficient Bio-Energetic practitioner using muscle testing, learned the foundational similarities of Oriental Medicine, Homeopathy and Naturopathy, and integrated them into my practice. In 2020, I was certified to practice and teach in Acu-Magnet therapy by its founder, Dr. Stephen Stiteler.

I received my Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Five Branches University, San Jose, California, in 2009. I earned my Masters in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, California in 1993. Since then, I’ve continued training in Chinese, Japanese, Korean acupuncture and have studied with various TCM Masters and learned many different acupuncture methods. I’ve received numerous certifications from the California School of Medical Sciences (Swedish massage, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue Bodywork), the Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Institute (Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, Transpersonal NLP, and Medical Hypnosis), and Biodynamic Cranial Touch.

I’ve also had a meditation practice since 1980. And I’m a fully certified teacher of the Realization Process through Judith Blackstone, PhD.

I received my Bachelors of Fine Arts in Ballet, with a Musical Theater emphasis, in 1976 from the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City. Before embarking on my medical career, I danced professionally for 13 years. I offer ongoing educational classes and I’m available to hold workshops upon invitation. I continue to stay fit, healthy and dance in Marin County, CA.
