My acupuncture story:

I started down this path about five years ago, while learning the first set of Dayan Qigong. Both the form and the warm-ups peaked my interest in the meridians and points of the body. In 2004 I began to study acupressure massage at the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley. In 2006 I became nationally certified in Asian Bodywork Therapies by the NCCAOM and began work as an Acupuncturist's Assistant in a holistic health office in San Rafael.

In the Fall of 2007 I returned to school full time to finish my transfer classes for the masters program. I recently finished 1,000 hours of training at the Acupressure Institute, including teacher training for their basic program. My specialty is Tui Na, and I use cupping, moxa and liniments in my practice. I share an office space on University Ave. in Berkeley on weekends.

My favorite modality:

Tui Na
