GOAL...All the energy you need for good health is within you. My goal is to help you unblock it through acupuncture, and let it flow... With 20 years of experience in the health profession and 18 in acupuncture, I have built a broad-based acupuncture practice in the Noe Valley/Castro district of San Francisco. To bring you back to vibrant health, I use a holistic rather than a symptomatic approach designed to help your body heal itself. This comprehensive combination of gentle, time-tested treatments, such as acupuncture, nutritional counseling, and herbal therapies, among others, restores the body's natural balance by strengthening the flow of energy. Acupuncture alone or in combination with other treatments can heal injury, reduce pain, and increase your general health and resistance to disease. I have produced excellent results treating back, neck and shoulder pain, repetitive stress injuries, digestive disorders, stress-related health problems, insomnia and fatigue, depression, lowered immunity, women's health problems, and more, with a combination of acupuncture and herbal therapies. Contact me directly for more information on how you can get back to health with acupuncture!
