if you have been struggling with debilitating migraines, autoimmune conditions, or other complex issues, you’ve come to the right place.
Having navigated these challenging waters myself, I intimately understand the frustration and despair that can accompany being
told your lab work looks fine, that you’ll just have to live with it, or—my person favorite—that it’s just part of aging. if you intrinsically know that healing is more than a prescription, let’s get to work.
you’ve had acupuncture before, and it wasn’t helpful, so how is what I do different?
the vast majority of acupuncture practiced in the world today is a modern version of acupuncture called tcm or traditional chinese medicine. tcm is like reading the cliff’s notes rather than the actual book, and just like cliff’s notes can get you through some tests, so can tcm. but if the test is more challenging, you’re going to need to read the actual book.
i began studying with ann cecil-sterman in 2014 and am honored to host continuing education classes for her in the united states. i’m also one of 80 students worldwide who completed her inaugural six month mentorship in 2023—the most comprehensive post-graduate training of its kind. i’ve also studied with sean tuten (who was also a student of ann’s) and took his year long mentorship in 2021.
do i only treat migraines?
chinese medicine is a comprehensive form of healthcare—a different medical language—that treats the whole person. my training is especially effective for more complex issues that haven’t responded to other treatments, but i do see conditions ranging from orthopedic/sports medicine to pediatrics to complex, chronic disease.
testimonials
Migraine is a result of a deep deficiency, and remission is possible. If you’ve tried acupuncture before and didn’t get the help you were hoping for, there’s a good chance that the type of treatments that you received were not what you truly needed, as well intended as they were. Along with classical acupuncture treatments, diet and lifestyle changes can truly help you heal.
