I am living my life’s purpose, and I could not be happier. My life is dedicated to the continual pursuit of health, nutrition, herbal medicine, teaching, and traveling. After teaching in higher education for 10 years at the University of Rhode Island, I pursued my passion and love of medicine by earning a master’s degree from the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Denver, Colorado. I went on to complete my Doctorate at Five Branches University in San Jose, California in 2022. I specialize in Pain Management, Sports Injuries, Chinese Psychology and Trauma, Digestive Health, Eye Disorders, and Women’s Health. In my practice, I treat anything from Frozen shoulder to the induction of Labor. My philosophy is that individualized care is based on communication and compassion. I strive to take a systemic approach to health which considers all systems of the body and how they influence and interact with each other. Working together to give the body what it needs, we can see a miraculous transformation of health. Backpacking throughout the world has given me a massive appreciation for the beauty of different cultures, values, and beliefs. I strive to create a space of healing where everyone can feel safe from judgment. When visiting Ancient Roots Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, expect kindness, love, compassion, dedication, and commitment to your overall health and well-being.
