My first introduction to integrative medicine came from my mother, who had used Peruvian herbal remedies alongside Western healthcare as I grew up, so incorporating integrative medicine into my own life came naturally. As I studied acupuncture and herbal medicine, I felt drawn to providing this medicine to others. I have used acupuncture and Chinese herbs for my and my family's healthcare for decades and am honored to work with patients seeking out this safe and effective medicine.
I am a California-licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, and I received my Master's and Doctorate at Five Branches University. Since starting my acupuncture career in 2007, I have worked extensively with individuals who are trying to conceive, pregnant, and those navigating the postpartum period. I received ABORM certification in reproductive medicine in 2018 and have supported women going through IVF while in private practice and IVF clinics in San Francisco. I am concurrently seeing patients at Kaiser Permanente for chronic pain and working to expand patient access to acupuncture. I also dedicate time to working at Charlotte Maxwell Clinic, providing low-income women with acupuncture and integrative cancer care.
These three paths in Chinese Medicine inform my practice today. I mainly see patients for fertility and reproductive health; pain, both acute and chronic; and cancer treatment side effects. I approach all of my patients with compassionate care and a warm heart and I look forward to partnering with you on your health journey.
Hablo español y puedo hacer consultas y tratamientos en español. I speak conversational Spanish and can conduct consultations and treatments in Spanish.
When I’m not in the clinic, I spend time hiking with my family in the Oakland hills, exploring the California coast and mountains, and tending to my vegetable garden and chickens.

I became fascinated with traditional Chinese medicine in a Holistic Health module I took in college. I witnessed the amazing results acupuncture needles had on drastically reducing my mother’s chronic debilitating headaches, and was inspired to learn all about Chinese medicine and become a practitioner.
I have had advanced training and specialization in Chinese medical reproductive health, optimizing fertility and sperm health, and supporting patients through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. I feel that it is a great honor to help people on their unique journeys to create families.
I also have a passion for helping people on their path to achieve balance and wellness. In addition to specializing in fertility and women’s health, I focus on treating problems that negatively impact everyday health and well-being (such as sleep, digestion, pain, and emotional issues).
I am a nationally certified and California-licensed acupuncturist and herbalist. I received my Master’s of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Meiji College in San Francisco (now AIMC Berkeley). I am Board Certified in the treatment of reproductive medicine by the International TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine (ABORM). I have just joined East Bay Acupuncture in the summer of 2025, and I am excited to be here!

East Asian medicine transformed my life and led me to want to share it with others. I understand what it’s like to be in physical and emotional pain and not know where to turn. I’m grateful to be on the other side and get to share the amazing gifts of acupuncture and Chinese medicine with you. East Asian medicine’s thoughtful view of emotions and the mind, body, and spirit connection has always resonated deeply with me. Before discovering Chinese medicine, I studied and worked in the fields of psychology and social work.
My extensive training as a doula and advanced post-graduate fertility, prenatal, and birth education have laid the foundation for my integrative work. My training with renowned midwife Raven Lang has inspired my bustling prenatal practice. I have also worked extensively with Claudia Citkovitz, L.Ac., in labor and delivery acupuncture in New York and attended births in both hospital and home environments. I love supporting people throughout preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum.
In addition, I offer general health and wellness family care along with sports medicine. Many of my clients come to me for pain, chemo support, headaches, digestive issues, insomnia, stress, and anxiety. I love working with clients from teens to adults.
I am a nationally certified and California-licensed acupuncturist and herbalist. I received my Master’s of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
When I’m not working, I’m either hanging with my rescue pup, singing in the car, trying to get to the coast, eating something delicious & spending time with my partner and stepkids.
In addition to running East Bay Acupuncture for many years, I practice acupuncture in Sonoma County where I live. You can find me in Petaluma a few days a week at my sister practice, Nido Wellness.
