About Me

Since 1992 I have studied treatment strategies for eliminating pain. I began my career as a massage therapist working on auto accident victims in a neurologist's office. At that time, the challenge of treating painful conditions led me to study myofascial manipulation and neuromuscular therapy.  These manual therapies address soft tissue dysfunction and I use them regularly on my patients.


In 2017, I completed a Masters of Acupuncture at the Finger Lakes School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.  I now use a combination of acupuncture and manual therapies to treat pain and injury. I have studied orthopedic acupuncture  in a Sports Medicine Acupuncture Program offered by Matt Callison. This course has improved my ability to assess pain syndromes and to treat musculoskeletal dysfunction with precision.

In September of 2020, I began a two year course at the Won Institute in Chinese herbal medicine. Chinese medicine is challenging and fascinating. The more I study it, the more I am able to help patients.  I look forward to working with you to design a treatment plan that will address your specific health needs.

Acupuncture

Therapeutic Massage and Tui Na

Cupping and Gua Sha

All the structures of your body depend on the smooth flow of blood, fluids, and qi for optimal function. Acupuncture needles can direct the flow of these vital nutrients.

Cupping and Gua Sha

Cupping and Gua Sha aid in the circulation of blood by bringing blood through the cells to the surface of the body. That is why you will see redness and bruising after a cupping or gua sha treatment. These techniques are not painful. They move stagnant and deoxygenated blood out of the tissues and allow fresh blood and oxygen to return to the cells.

Palpation is an essential diagnostic tool in Chinese Medicine. Doing tui na or massage on a patient improves blood flow. It also helps me to assess the soft tissues for areas of stagnation, rigidity, excess, or weakness. Through palpation, I determine what will be the most beneficial acupuncture points.
