I became an acupuncturist after treatments returned my quality of life following an 18-month battle with debilitating autoimmune symptoms ranging from chronic fatigue and constant pain to brain fog and sleep difficulties.

I still live with three autoimmune disorders, but regular acupuncture along with good sleep and nourishing foods keep me feeling topnotch. My endocrinologist is amazed. He initially predicted I'd experience brief remissions followed by long periods of flareups. But he was wrong.

In 15 years, I've had only one setback, which, over the course of three weeks, was corrected by, you guessed it, acupuncture!

This is the reason I became an acupuncturist and health coach. Acupuncture is medicine backed by hundreds of studies and it is powerful.

My mission is to help others -- with muscle, joint, and neuropathic pain, with sleep disturbances and stress, with gut issues, with injuries, and with autoimmune conditions.

I now believe my autoimmune diagnoses were triggered by stress. My nervous system was messed up. Acupuncture works in part by rapidly calming the nervous system and turning off Fight or Flight, which so many of us are living in and which is damaging to our health.

Acupuncture is also proven to boost immunity.

Don't you deserve to feel your best? What's stopping you?
