THE SPA

​

I began my career in natural medicine 25 years ago when I enrolled at East West College of Healing Arts. During my time at East West, I worked as a chiropractic assistant for a local practitioner. This proved to be invaluable in guiding my massage studies towards physical injuries and rehabilitation.  I received my massage license in 2000 and have worked full time as a massage therapist, specializing in myofascial trigger point therapy and injury management.

In 2016, I attended a workshop where I was introduced to the foundations of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and I fell in love. In 2017 I began taking pre-requisite classes and in 2019 was accepted to the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM). I graduated with my doctorate in Chinese medicine and acupuncture in August of 2023.

My love and respect for Chinese medicine only grew during my time at OCOM and it felt undoubtedly like the path that was right for me. I feel a powerful alchemy taking place as I merge 24 years of bodywork experience with this ancient medical wisdom. This allows me to aid even more people and with a much broader scope of complaints. 

I believe Chinese medicine is a compliment to Western medicine and can offer effective ways to fill in the gaps and provide more health and vitality to life!  Making Chinese medicine and acupuncture a part of your health care tool kit can also provide an opportunity to deepen the relationship you have with your body, and your understanding of its immense healing capacity.
