What I Do

Over the years, while treating hundreds of patients for almost every health issue, I realized I also often heard:

“I’ve never told anyone this.”

I began to understand the truth that since childhood, I was someone who others opened their hearts to.

As a long time acupuncturist and herbalist I knew that Chinese Medicine is a place where a modern over-stimulated system can find healing regulation and grounding. And I saw that my care of the patients who found me created a space for deep healing. Then, about 5 years ago I began to understand that the healing environment I design for each person makes an opening for my patients to feel the ability to speak their truth.

I realized that I wanted to offer a place where hearts felt safe to open and be heard fully.

So, at the beginning of 2019, I decided to leave a busy Chinese Medical practice and opened my own small clinic where I could spend more time with each person because I could see how deeply so many needed more time to be heard. Life Coaching grew out of knowing that I wanted to treat the whole human, even beyond the holistic medicine I was already practicing. And, as many past patients became coaching clients I heard over and over again:

“I might have thought of you as my Acupuncturist but now I see you have been my Life Coach all along…”

The support I now give as your Health and Life Coach is true full body care.

This level of care can be difficult to imagine or accept, especially for those who feel untrusting or unsure around any sort of health or emotional care. I understand this deeply and have learned to make a sacred space for exactly what is needed for each individual.

This work is my calling.

If you’ve been considering hiring either a health or a life coach, why not have both from someone who has been doing that work for years, helping hundreds of different humans learn how to care for their own individual wellbeing?
