COVID-19 Precautions
I take the health of my patients and my personal health very seriously. All measures possible to minimize exposure risks in my clinic will be taken. In order to do this I need the cooperation of my patients.
As I practice in a medical facility that sees high risk patients we have decided to continue to require masks in our office for the time being.
If any NEW cold or flu symptoms develop prior to your appointment please contact me as soon as possible. Symptoms include
-
Fever
-
Cough
-
Fatigue
-
Shortness of Breath

Sore Throat
-
Nasal Congestion

ACUPUNCTURE
My acupuncture appointments may include using acupuncture needles, cupping, gua sha, Qi Gong, acupressure, and/or lifestyle and dietary advise from a Chinese medicine perspective. Each appointment will be customized to fit your needs in that moment. My clinical interests include musculoskeletal pain, women's health, food allergies/sensitivities, anxiety disorders, and treating children and teens.
FACIAL CUPPING & GUA SHA
I have additional training in using cupping, gua sha and derma rolling, on the face. My facial rejuvenation treatments may include cupping, gua sha, needling acupuncture points and/or dietary and lifestyle advice from a Chinese Medicine perspective. All of these elements can be used individually or together depending on your needs. Find more information on the page.
FIRE CUPPING
STRESS REDUCTION
Fire cupping is most commonly used on the muscles of the back to relieve tension and pain. It can be used on other areas of the body such as the legs and abdomen. Cupping can also be used in the treatment of digestive disorders, menstrual disorders, stress and to boost the immune system. Please be aware that this treatment will likely leave marks on the area treated that resemble a bruise and it is advised to keep the treated area covered until the marks are gone, about 3-5 days. Gua sha may also be included in the treatment if you are interested.
For my stress reduction treatments I use what is known as the NADA protocol. It is 5 needles specifically placed in each ear, I may include a few other points depending on your needs and comfort level. This treatment protocol is also used for many emotional and behavioral symptoms such as anxiety, PTSD, addiction (sugar, tobacco...) as well as musculoskeletal pain.
I also offer customizable classes and pop up events in the greater Seattle area.
