“ Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life”
Mary Oliver
Whether supporting someone through hormonal transitions, chronic stress, pain, emotional well-being, or healthy aging, my intention is to provide a space where healing unfolds naturally—helping each person reconnect with balance, resilience, and a deeper sense of wholeness.
I began practicing yoga 28 years ago, and it opened a doorway to a more holistic, mindful, and embodied way of living. What started as a personal practice became a lifelong journey of healing, curiosity, and self-discovery.
This path first guided me into the field of bodywork and massage, where I discovered the profound connection between touch, presence, and the body's innate ability to heal. As my understanding deepened, I felt called to continue my education and, at the age of 40, I followed my heart to earn my Master's degree in Chinese Medicine.
My passion for learning didn't stop there. Alongside my studies in Chinese Medicine, I continued to immerse myself in yoga. After completing my 240-hour teacher training, I found myself wanting to explore even more. The following year, I advanced my studies through a 300-hour teacher training, deepening my understanding of yoga as a practice of embodiment, awareness, and transformation.
Each step along this journey has shaped the way I hold space for others. By weaving together the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, bodywork, and yoga, I support each person in reconnecting with their innate capacity for balance, resilience, and healing. My intention is to create a compassionate space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to cultivate lasting wellness from the inside out.
I hold a Master's degree in Chinese Medicine and am licensed by the Minnesota Medical Board. For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of supporting women, men, and adolescents through the many transitions and seasons of life, offering compassionate, individualized care rooted in the wisdom of Chinese Medicine.
My practice integrates acupuncture, herbal medicine, and holistic lifestyle guidance with advanced training in facial rejuvenation acupuncture and microneedling—modalities grounded in the principles and science of Chinese Medicine that support both inner vitality and outward radiance.
In addition to my medical training, I have completed over 500 hours of yoga teacher training, including advanced studies in Yin Yoga. Yoga continues to be an essential part of my life and informs the way I practice, bringing presence, mindfulness, and an appreciation for the body's innate intelligence into every treatment.

They grow and flourish, then each returns to its root.
Returning to the root is called stillness." Tao Te Ching
