I am board certified in Oriental Medicine, Chinese Herbs and Acupuncture. I am a Professional Herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild, practicing both Western and Chinese herbology. I have training in Aromatherapy, Diet & Nutrition, Homeopathy, Flower Essences, Bio Magnetics, Reiki, Tibetan Medicine and Shamanic Healing.

I have been in practice since 1991 and I love to treat animals as well as people. In order to provide my patients with the best quality care, I find it necessary to spend more time than other practitioners in the first session so I can provide a more thorough, holistic service.

While follow up sessions are 1 hour (including intake and acupuncture), the first meeting usually takes around 3 to 4 hours and includes your complete medical history, Chinese diagnosis, nutritional and lifestyle counseling, acupuncture (treatment includes infrared heat, aromatherapy and magnetic therapy), herbal education and recommendations, and detoxification programs.

White Moon Healing Center is a truly holistic clinic in Chicago, Illinois. We have a unique natural pharmacy. We offer more than 150 handmade individual herbal extracts of both Chinese and Western herbs, 50 of our own standard formulae, plus customized formulae for individual needs. Our liquid extracts are much more concentrated than the tinctures found in health food stores, and are made from the best quality organic and wildcrafted herbs. We also carry herbal formulae only available to licensed healthcare professionals, as well as the best of dozens of brands of natural health supplements, most at a 20% discount off the retail price.

These include herbal medicines, vitamins & minerals, enzymes, amino acids, flower essences, homeopathic remedies, essential oils, antioxidants, Kombucha tea and natural hormonal crèmes and glandulars.

We offer a variety of treatments that will put you on the road toward optimal health, such as acupuncture, nutritional counseling, replacing chemical medications with natural remedies, detoxification programs, aromatherapy, homeopathy, herbal medicine, cupping & gwasha, infrared heat therapy, moxabustion, magnetic therapy, ear candling, Reiki energy work and flower essences.

We offer the following diagnostic screenings:

Tissue Mineral Analysis: A small hair sample is sent to Analytical Research Labs to check for mineral imbalances and heavy metal toxicity. We can interpret your results and make natural supplement and herbal recommendations to help detox your body and heal your internal organs, endocrine and nervous systems. Mineral balance is a crucial step for a healthy body.

Saliva and Stool Testing: We use Diagnos-Techs Labs to check for imbalances in female & male hormones, adrenal & stress hormones, and blood sugar. These tests can also screen for food allergies, yeast, parasites, G.I. diseases, G.I. function and bone density.

Specialties include endocrine disorders such as thyroid, adrenal, pancreas and ovarian imbalances; gynecological issues such as pregnancy, infertility, ovarian cysts, fibroids and endometriosis; immune disorders such as cancer, lupus, RA, MS, CFIDS and HIV/AIDS; chronic pain issues such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines and repetitive motion injury; environmental illnesses such as allergies, asthma, MCS, chronic skin disorders and other toxicity related illness, and other common chronic health issues like cardiovascular disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, anxiety, insomnia, depression, stroke recovery, Bell’s Palsy (facial paralysis), Parkinson’s disease, gastric reflux, irritable bowel and candida.
