According to traditional Chinese medicine, disruptions in the flow of qi can lead to various health problems.
During an acupuncture session, a qualified practitioner inserts sterile, thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are believed to be associated with the flow of energy and are chosen based on the individual's symptoms and the practitioner's diagnosis. The goal of acupuncture is to stimulate and balance the flow of qi, promoting overall health and well-being.

I began pursuing the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine because of its potential to treat such a large and diverse number of illnesses and conditions. I wanted to be able to offer people a type of healthcare that could not only relieve the symptoms they are experiencing, but also address the root of the problem, ultimately having an overall positive effect on the person’s health. I believe Traditional Chinese Medicine has so much potential in these areas. I look forward to the chance to work with you in dealing with all of your health concerns.

Dr. AC., R.Ac., MOT
I first began my career in the health field over a decade ago. My background in health care before learning Traditional Chinese Medicine was in practicing Emergency Medicine in the pre hospital care setting as a Paramedic. I wanted to be in a profession where my desire to help people would be at the core of all the choices and expectations that I made. The pre hospital care setting was a great choice for me, but after a while I found myself wanting to do more.
My interest for learning TCM was brought on by experiencing the positive impact that it has when dealing with chronic disease. I became aware of this after working within healthcare and seeing the difficulties in dealing with chronic disease and illness. I began learning TCM because of the strong life changing impacts it had to offer.
As a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine I have had the pleasure to help people who are suffering conditions that affect their daily quality of life. My current practice has been focusing on pain and cancer/oncology related complaints. Pain is a symptom that crosses all areas of health. Cancer is unfortunately becoming more common to a ratio of 1 to 3. If you are looking for help with pain or cancer related complaints please reach out. I would enjoy the opportunity to speak with you about what Traditional Chinese Medicine can offer.
