During an Acupuncture Treatment, the practitioner conducts an intake to collect information from the patient in order to decide on a treatment plan. During the treatment, typically, the patient will rest either face up or face down. The practitioner will insert tiny, stainless steel, sterile needles at specific points along meridians that run throughout the body. Patients rest for 25-40 minutes and then the practitioner returns to remove the Acupuncture needles. Other modalities (such as Cupping, Gua Sha, or Moxibustion) may be incorporated when therapeutically appropriate.

Initial Consultation

Do you have questions about Acupuncture and other East Asian Medicine modalities?
Schedule a consultation to discuss what can be expected during an appointment, what are the benefits of a treatment, and is this alternative medicine appropriate for you.

My first encounter with Acupuncture was as a teenager suffering from severe, chronic back pain. I was used to being active and involved in sports, and I was no longer able to participate due to my back pain. I went to many doctors and specialists, but couldn’t get any relief. As a last resort, my mom took me to see an acupuncturist.

It was the only thing that helped alleviate my pain! I finally had hope that I could be free of pain again. After a series of acupuncture treatments, I was able to go about my life with ease. I had such a transformative experience of healing–I could jog, do yoga, and swim again– pain free. This profound experience planted the seed that would lead me to studying Acupuncture and helping others through this medicine.

I decided to study Traditional Chinese Medicine, earning my Masters degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, MAOM, from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in 2021. During this time, I spent over 800 hours in the clinic with patients. I am nationally board certified in Acupuncture and Herbology, a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine, and a licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist in the state of Connecticut.

In 2022, I relocated from Oregon to Connecticut with my partner and dog to be closer to family. My practice is located in Avon, Connecticut. I am fluent in American Sign Language and, in my practice, I seek to provide an experience that is accessible and inclusive for all.
