From menarche to menopause, hormones have a profound impact on our mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing. They can influence our outlook on life, how we relate to the world, our relationships with ourselves and others, and whether or not we feel anxious and depressed or happy and positive. Hormones also play a significant role in our energy levels, our digestion and microbiome as well as the health and appearance of our skin.
Not only can they influence monthly breakouts, but they can be the cause of excess sebum production (oily skin), dry skin, uneven skin texture, and loss of skin tone.

MicroNeedling
Report
The practice of needling the face for aesthetics is not new. For thousands of years, acupuncturists in China have been using needles to puncture the skin to facilitate healing and promote beauty. They also applied oils and infusions to the skin before needling so products could penetrate the deeper layers.
Tele-Health Appointments
Report
Acupuncture, cupping, bodywork & moxibustion are all powerful medicines that I use to help people feel better everyday. But did you know I also offer tele-health appointments using modalities that can be done in your own home? Many people choose tele-health appointments when they can't come in to my office but need help or guidance treating their symptoms.
Women's Health
Report
From menarche to menopause, hormones play a huge role in our mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing. The beauty of Chinese Medicine is that it takes a whole person approach to healing. We look at factors such as your ancestral heritage, your upbringing, your environment, your mental, emotional and spiritual outlooks, how well you have treated your body now and in the past and habits that are contributing to your current state of health.
Skin Health
Report
Let's face it (pun intended), your face is the first thing people see when they meet you and whether we like it or not, we are judged by the way we look. Wanting to improve your appearance is not about vanity. It is not about trying to become the next top model. It's about taking who YOU are to the next level.
Thyroid & Adrenal Health
Report
If this is you it is important to know that you are not alone. Many people have symptoms of hypothyroidism with blood tests that do not reveal anything out of the ordinary. One of the reasons why it is so hard to diagnose a thyroid condition is because it is only a small part of a complex and intricate matrix called the endocrine system.
