Hi, I’m Stephanie, a board-certified Chinese medicine practitioner, licensed acupuncturist, and herbalist with over 12 years of clinical experience helping people cultivate health by working with the language of nature and the wisdom of the body.

My work is built on a discipline I have developed and practice called Nature-Based Lifestyle Medicine. It brings together the timeless principles of nature, the wisdom of Chinese medicine, and modern physiology in the practice of cultivating health through daily living. While modern medicine excels at diagnosing disease and treating acute illness, my work complements that approach by focusing on health cultivation.

Rather than chasing symptoms, we learn to observe nature’s patterns, understand what your body is communicating, and participate in the conditions that allow health to emerge by living in alignment with nature’s principles.

At the heart of this work is a simple belief:

Nature is the physician. Your life is your medicine.

Using the Elemental Health Framework I have developed, we explore the relationships between your symptoms, physiology, emotions, lifestyle, and environment to understand how your body is adapting. Rather than viewing symptoms as isolated problems, we learn to recognize the patterns connecting them, creating practical opportunities for lasting healing, resilience, and vitality.

Health is not a destination.

It is a lifelong relationship with yourself, your environment, and the living principles of nature.
