I opened my practice in 1999 after completing a four year program in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture at the Community School of Traditional Chinese Healthcare. After 27 years in the same location in North Miami, I relocated nearby after my shopping center was sold.

I was intrigued with the history and roots of the ancient nature based Taoist philosophy, and the healing arts born of it, in particular acupuncture. I took every opportunity to learn more, enrolling in every class I could, taught by the masters who once traveled the US offering in person teachings. With this, I learned a variety of techniques, expanding my understand and skills. I became a life long learner before the term was born.

What I came to discover is that acupuncture is a natural and effective treatment to wake up and re-educate your inate natural intelligence of self healing and regulation. This is supremely basic and simple at it’s core. When we begin to separate from our built in self healing capacity, we eventually notice that we don’t respond and heal the way we expect to or once did.

When you re-align with your nature, you re-align yourself with all of nature, hence acupuncture, in it’s abilty to re-ignite your capactiy for self healing, is a safe, effective and supportive treatment for most any health challenge. My goal is always to restore this function in you.

What I also came to discover is this: Nutrition is foundation, and you cannot repair or rebuild a structture on a weak foundation. This is why Functional Wellness and nutrition became another track of life long learning for me.
