I was born and raised in the South Bay of Los Angeles, though I’ve carved out a home for myself in the heart of Venice, CA. I’ve always nurtured the artist in me through different mediums like drawing, painting, writing, music, nature, reading — all things that have come full circle through my work in the art of health, wellness, and healing, along with my innate love for taking care of others. My practice is rooted in the intricate philosophical framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine and guided heavily by palpation, or touch, which helps me understand how the body is responding to a given treatment that integrates various techniques such as acupuncture, cupping, and tuina massage. I center each treatment around the patient in front of me and what they need at that moment in time. Whether you see me at my office or out as a local, you’ll always find me in my casual style and a pair of Vans. I love to spend time with loved ones, laugh, run, eat good food, learn, and create, to say a few. Here, I’ll share my interests, art, thoughts, poetry, and more. Thank you so much for taking a moment to get to know me a little. It means the world and I hope to connect with you more.
