My Story
I opened EAST in April 2019 to continue the work of helping people feel better using evidence based natural methods. I wanted to practice in a way that allowed enough time for my patients and their practitioner to feel nurtured and relaxed. EAST is a place where you will never feel like just a number.
​
I am licensed by the California Acupuncture Board and nationally board certified by NCCAOM.
I have extensive experience and continuing education in the specialties of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and trauma. I consider myself a guide for healing journeys and a fertility doula.
​
It is my mission to hold space for people to enjoy their healing journey, to be able to access a relaxed state through the process, whether it's for fertility, trauma, pain, or whatever it may be. I take tremendous pride in this work. I want my patients to feel heard, feel restored and be able to heal. I believe healing makes the world a better place.
