ILLNESS IS AN INVITATION TO TRANSFORM BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT

Health and illness are two sides of the same coin. At some point in our lives, we will endure illness.

Some of us have to endure a long-standing illness that has changed the way our body functions affecting the quality of our life. But we do not have to suffer when this happens.

I know. It happened to me. I am a thyroid cancer survivor and I have an auto-immune disorder.

I have made it my life’s work to find out how to live a happy, healthy life when illness has changed the way the body functions. And I want to share it with you.

MEDICINE IS MORE THAN TREATMENT

I approach healing through a mind/body/spirit connection that reaches beyond the actual treatment. I believe illness and medicine are transformative experiences.

This means that the physical treatment itself, whether it is herbs, acupuncture, or bodywork, is the smallest part of healing.

The most important part of our time together is an exploration of your body, mind, and spirit as a whole.

It is about relationship.

It is me listening to you where you are at and providing you with new knowledge and experiences you can take to move forward in your healing.

It is about your story. It is about transformation.

I know from my own chronic illness and cancer recovery that treatments are important but it is the inner work that truly heals. I want to help you through that transformation just as others have done for me.

East Asian Medicine, the 5 Elements, and Taoist philosophy are the foundation of my practice both in treatment and coaching. It is a unique holistic perspective for transformation.

I AM A HEALER, SCIENTIST, AND TEACHER

I use the principles of science, the art of health and healing, and my intuitive senses to provide a whole-person experience in your journey of health.

I listen to you without judgment but with deeper skills to hear what your body, mind, and spirit may be trying to say.

Together we explore you. Not your illness. While symptoms will be addressed and reduced or eliminated, you will walk away with a deeper sense of yourself. It is about transformation.

I am a teacher, an accountability coach, a motivator for transformation, and a lover of deep meaning and inner work that helps a person heal from the inside out.

Through my formal training and my life experiences, my talent lies in being able to see the whole person in body, mind, and spirit to help them move into true healing by digging deep through gentle motivation, kindness, compassion, and true partnership.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

I have crafted a blend of acupuncture, mind/body techniques, education, and exercises for self-care and self-discovery. This innovative, integrated approach helps patients to relieve their pain, cultivate their vitality, deepen their relationship with themselves, and ultimately manifest their unique individual potential.

I am a Licensed and Board Certified Practitioner of Chinese Medicine which includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, and bodywork in Denver, Colorado and hold a Master’s Degree in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, Colorado. I am a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine, board-certified through the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

My Mission

is to work with patients and other healthcare professionals in optimizing health and wellness in body, mind, and spirit through the integration of East Asian Medicine with other modalities like modern medicine in treating chronic illness and pain.

My Goal

is to help patients with a chronic illness connect with a personal sense of purpose and inspiration during their journey in health, rather than simply treating the disease and individual symptoms. East Asian Medicine is founded in “Yang Sheng Fa”, The Art of Nourishing Life. Nourishing life is about the person and not the illness. It is about transformation and healing from the inside out in body, mind, and spirit.

My Role

is to educate patients so they have the tools to sustain health on their own with minimal intervention and maximum quality of life. As William H Mayo said, “The ideal of medicine is to eliminate the need for a physician.”

I Am Here

for people who want to integrate more than one system of medicine in their healthcare journey and would like to expand knowledge of their body and mind beyond modern biomedicine alone.
