I have been in clinical practice of Chinese Medicine since 1982! What I love about my job is that I am always learning! I have been fortunate to train with some of the most notable Masters of Oriental Medicine -- and continue to do so. I look for patients who are interested in partnership, self exploration, with a commitment to their health and willingness to change. If you are interested in being seen and heard please give me a call. I am accepting new patients at this time. My first two sessions are a New Patient Consult and a Diagnostic Treatment Session. A free phone consult follows with diagnosis and treatment series protocol. I offer two tiers of care. One for in-depth and complicated cases and for those who wish to work on a deeper level. The second is for more preventative and easy to treat conditions, which may require a shorter treatment session. The intake consult runs about 90 minutes. The two tier sessions are 120 and 75 minutes, respectively.
