Tell us a little bit about yourself and your journey to acupuncture:

I was introduces to holistic medicine in the early 2000’s. The naturopath I was seeing at the time actually recommended that I become an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist based on my world view. I politely declines (I have a severe phobia of needles) and then in 2005 found myself getting my first acupuncture treatment. I was hooked. I enrolled the following year and realized that this was my life path.

What inspires you about working with kids?

I have two kids of my own and used acupuncture and Chinese medicine to heal from a miscarriage and through the pregnancies and births of my own children. I love how well they respond and supporting them on their journey of discovery.

What is your philosophy about keeping kids healthy?

“Less is more” and “look to the diet first”. We really stress that food is medicine in our clinic and family and that to treat first with diet and then see what happens. Kids need play, dirt, good food and lots of love.
