About this pro
I was a massage therapist before becoming an acupuncturist. I incorporate massage into treatment for neuromuscular problems. I still enjoy giving a great massage as a solo modality for 60 or 90 minutes. Feel free to ask about technique.
I enjoy meeting new people and helping them to feel better. I also still enjoy the people that have been with me for years. There are those who feel a periodic treatment is integral to their health and wellbeing.
I enjoy making massage a part of a treatment or as a stand alone intervention. I like the physicality of it. I specialize in deep tissue and sports massage. I recognize the benefits of a great massage all by it's self.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start out with a conversation about all aspects of your health, not just the problem that brought you to me. Issues that cause stress and problem solving solutions are as important as physical symptoms
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor in Nursing and a Master of Acupuncture Degree. I have been a nurse for years with experience in Critical Care and Behavioral Health Nursing.
How did you get started in this business?
After my own phenomenal experience with acupuncture, I decided I wanted a career tha allowed me more undivided time with people than nursing allowed.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Children as young as six. My oldest patient is 91. Besides physical issues, I enjoy working with people who feel stuck in life and would like to move forward.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Look at their experience. Talk with them about what you would like to get out of acupuncture. Don't shop by price alone.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Have you worked with someone with my issues before?
Why do you think you can help me?
Approximately how many visits will it take before I will be feeling better?

What modalities of acupuncture do they practice? Five Element, TCM, Auricular, Japanese, etc.
