Originally from Michigan, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan Tech University and worked in the automotive and petroleum industries for 15 years. After seeing firsthand how effective acupuncture could be, I changed careers and in 2008 graduated from the American College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) in Houston, TX. I was awarded a Master’s of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAOM) degree.
I am qualified as a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and hold professional memberships with the American Botanical Council, the Texas Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and the Society for Acupuncture Research. I am licensed in Texas under acupuncture license AC01119.

Interests: Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. The many benefits of acupuncture include:
Pain reduction
Stress and tension relief
Increased energy levels
Stronger digestion
Relief from bad habits and addictions
Greater sense of overall health and well-being
