A new name, a new location! Evolving my practice to better serve you.
My services qualify as an essential service, so I am able to remain open to the public. I have been doing phone consultations as often as I can, and when appropriate for the service at hand, can always be reached for a consultation in this way. But I have also been seeing a few acupuncture patients in-clinic. I made it a point not to abandon my patients during this difficult time. At the end of the day I am a medical professional and things like sciatica pain have not magically gone away. Nor have migraine headaches, or neck pain. Autoimmunity certainly has not gone away! In fact many of these concerns have worsened. In Chinese Medicine there is a saying which translates into, “Where there is stagnation there is pain.” Worry, fear, anger, isolation, and/or stress all stagnate Qi.
I have new letters after my name! What do they mean? Why did they change? And what else will change? Find out here!
If you’ve ever had a day where nothing seems to go well, or a day where you just aren’t able to do the things that you otherwise accomplish, this is a day where you are living with impaired brain function.

Goal setting can be self-sabotaging if not done carefully and mindfully. My much-needed solo trip to the desert ended up filled with valuable lessons about that.

The Thyroid System is complex and significant. It promotes cellular activity, helps us to be happy, healthy, and energetic. It allows our immune system and brain to operate well. It influences how our sex hormones operate and how much weight we carry. The trouble is understanding it. In this article I describe the Thyroid system and its subtle factors that, when missed, may just be the difference between success and failure to pull a person back into balance.
Vascular Disease continues to be the number one killer worldwide. At the same time Statins (cholesterol lowering medications) are being prescribed in higher and higher amounts every year. With millions of people taking Statins every day, one would think that vascular disease would be on the decline. However, these medications are having a very small impact on the incidence of heart attacks. Why is that?
It is quite astonishing really the number of women I hear of complaining of hair loss these days. It may not be massive hair loss mind you, but this is something that we tend to pay attention to. It is something that a great many men end up looking forward to if they like it or not, but for women, it is a whole other thing completely. Hair loss in a woman when it is bad can be a significant source of anxiety and poor self image. So what is going on? Why do I hear about it so often these days? Well, like many other medical conditions, hair loss has a lot to do with our lifestyle. It may just be possible that you are contributing directly to your hair loss every day without knowing it.
