Growing up with a brother who lived with a genetic condition, I understood early on what it means for a family to navigate uncertainty, stress, and complex health needs. That experience shaped my path toward working with the body in compassionate, practical ways.

I trained in Chinese Medicine and later completed a three-year Shiatsu program, where I fell in love with the power of structured, therapeutic touch. I went on to serve as a teaching assistant in both Acupuncture and Shiatsu programs, deepening my clinical and hands-on training.

My passion has always been working with children. I completed additional specialization in pediatric acupuncture and began supporting families navigating sleep challenges, digestive issues, anxiety, skin conditions, and emotional intensity.

What My Children Taught Me

Becoming a mother expanded my understanding of sensitivity and regulation in ways no training ever could.

Some children don’t “overreact.”
They experience more.

I began studying sensory processing, primitive reflex integration, and nervous system regulation more deeply after recognizing how stress, sound, transitions, and emotional input can feel amplified in certain children.

What changed in my practice was not just what I treated — but how I understood behavior.

I now focus on supporting the nervous system as the foundation for emotional balance, attention, and resilience.

Expanding Support for Mothers

As many of the mothers in my practice were pregnant or postpartum, I pursued hospital-based training in acupuncture for prenatal care, fertility, and postpartum recovery.

Today, I feel honored to support both children and mothers through different stages of development — from pregnancy to early childhood and beyond.

At the heart of my work is this belief:

When the nervous system feels safe, growth becomes possible.
