My lifelong interest in alternative medicine led me from the mountains of Idaho to Portland, Oregon where I pursued the study of Chinese medicine following my mother’s breast cancer diagnosis. Acupuncture and herbal medicine played a significant role in her successful treatment and recovery, demonstrating to me the profound benefits of this beautiful medicine. During my academic years and post-graduation, I had the privilege of working under renowned herbalist Heiner Fruehauf for a decade, This experience provided me with in-depth knowledge of Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and immersion in the practice of the Jinjing Gong tradition of Qigong. During this time, I was injured in a car accident that left me with multiple spine fractures. I relied extensively on acupuncture and Chinese herbs throughout surgeries and physical rehabilitation, which facilitated my return to full health and vibrancy,
With over 20 years of clinical experience, my passion and dedication to this medicine remains strong and ever expanding. My practice reflects my respect for all aspects of this medicine; along with acupuncture, my treatments encompass recommendations for herbal remedies, lifestyle adaptations, and nutritional counseling. I am consistently inspired by the efficacy of Oriental medicine in promoting positive physical changes and emotional wellbeing.
In my leisure time, I enjoy the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, where I can often be found exploring the coast, rivers and mountains with my sweet and silly puppy Fiona. When not adventuring off the beaten path, I keep my hands in the dirt lovingly tending my biodynamic gardens to keep my kitchen stocked with fresh produce.
I enjoy working and living in the lovely Cully neighborhood in NE Portland and sharing the gifts of my craft to bring health and healing to my local community!!
