That 's where I come in...
I know that the best practices are the ones that are built on the most authentic choices and values for you and the audience you serve most fully, and I'm here to help make that happen for you in the best possible way.
You don't have to struggle, trying to piece things together and feeling defeated. I'm going to show you how to make soulful & sustainable steps in a short amount of time. Let's get started!
The Radiance In Me & The Radiance In You
In Chinese Medicine, the highest value of healing is revealed through the Shen, aka Radiance. And whether it is discussed openly in your trainings, or not, all healers can recognize Radiance in others. It's a reflection of being aligned with your Spirit, fully embodying your gifts, and engaging the world from that position as much as possible.
Let's End The Struggle, Confusion & Frustration
I support & guide healers who want to create something authentic and unique with your offers BECAUSE engaging from authenticity is what's most important--not in spite of it.
This space is here for a community of amazing humans who value authentic connections, radiant living, leading by example, creating unique offers that support the cultivation of Spirit, lighting the way for others, and most importantly, having the courage to create the type of world that lights you up!
And If That Lights You Up,
You're In The Right Place.
Let's Create Something Stellar!
My Professional Bio
Acupuncturist & Chinese Medicine Healer
I was called to this medicine when I was 19. Waking up to the underlying magic of the world at that time, I first read about Acupuncture and had one of those moments where the clouds parted, the light of Heaven burst through, and I knew that was what I was meant to do here.
Today, I'm an acupuncturist, customizing Chinese herbalist, and nutrition expert. After graduating from Bastyr University in Seattle, I started a private practice in 2007 specializing in digestive issues, autoimmune conditions, highly sensitive people, and those living with chronic illness.
I started out practicing in Charleston, SC and moved to Boston after meeting the love of my life in 2011. I currently have a private practice in Downtown Boston and I love serving this community of brilliant, savvy professionals.
Inner Tradition & Spiritual Alchemy School
I've been a close mentee to Lonny Jarrett, Chinese Medicine Scholar, Visionary, and True Revolutionary for over 15 years.
Working and studying with Lonny has supported me to deeply understand the magic behind the mystique of Chinese Medicine, and the beauty that's available when we include the whole person, and their karmic path, into a more refined and inclusive treatment plan.
My ability to hold many vast & powerful perspectives at once, while creating meaningful and relatable transmission in real time with my clients is highly attuned due to his generosity and guidance.
A million thank-you's will never be enough.
China & India 2006
My Eat, Pray, Love moment happened in 2006, and it was filled with luminosity!
Our program at Bastyr arranged a Chinese Medicine internship for us in Chengdu, Szechuan. We worked in the university hospital for a month and got to see 10x the number of cases per shift than we were accustomed to! We learned so much from the masterful teachers there, and had the experience of a lifetime.
After our internship ended, I traveled with a classmate to Yunnan, China, then down to Thailand for some much needed, post-grad R&R. We spent a few weeks there soaking up the sun and feasting on soulful local Thai food, then we headed to southern India for The Yoga Teacher Training Program in Neyyar Dam at the Sivananada Ashram. We came home so rested, clear-headed, yogified, and certified to teach yoga AND practice Chinese Medicine. Pretty epic.
Breathwork Guide
Already a huge fan of Pranayama, I wasn't surprised when a series of synchronicities led me to my breathwork teachers in 2018.
After a weekend course in NYC, then a 6-day intensive in New Mexico, I gratefully added breathwork to my offerings. Looking back, I am kind of amazed at the changes that have come about since accepting this calling. I thought nothing could beat Acupuncture school, but the truth is, Spirit is amazing and will always keep you mystified.
Notable takeaway: Always say yes to the things that ignite your Soul.
Teacher & Mentor
I've been teaching at the college level for many years. I had the good fortune to bring Chinese Medicine Nutrition to the Culinary Institute of Charleston, I spent 5 years teaching Advanced Case Management & Nutrition at New England School of Acupuncture, and Yoga, Breathwork, Cooking, and Nutrition courses over the many years I've been practicing.
I've been mentoring students and peers for over 10 years. I love the bounty that's available when we just get a little support from the right direction.
Artist & Maker
Prior to acupuncture school, I studied botany & horticulture in Charleston, and worked for Blümengarten, the chicest event florist in town. I learned to design & create small and large scale installations, including some mind-blowing Charleston weddings {with mind-blowing budgets}, and that led to creating the florals you see in my spaces. My desire for DIY crafts knows no limits. I adore getting my hands on flowers, wire, craft paper, and cutters, and letting creativity take the wheel.
Personal Life
Originally hailing from Kansas, I felt a calling for something I didn't quite know yet, and I set out for South Carolina shortly after high school. I spent over 20 years in Charleston growing up, making lifelong friendships, living large, finding out who I was, and blooming like a flower!
I left Charleston for Acupuncture school in Seattle in 2003, and returned in 2007 ready to bring the good word. I had a wonderful practice there and felt honored to continue working downtown in the Historic Rainbow Row area.
I met my husband through my Spiritual community in 2011, and by 2012 we were moving to Boston together to live and work closely with our community. We have both thrived in Boston, where we are lucky to live downtown, walk everywhere, and spend a lot of time with our Great Dane, Oscar.
Looking back, I know that this whole trajectory for me has been about trusting the things that are bigger than what I know. It's not always smooth, and it's often messy, but if my Spirit is growing in presence and more of my true self is being called forward, I know I'm on the right path.
My early life growing up was hard, and I rarely felt seen, heard, or supported. My gifts today are informed by my deep knowledge that the best things come from slowing down and making room for all of you to come to the table, all of the time. I'm excited you're here and I will gladly be your hand-holder for the next big steps in your magical adventure.
