Licensed acupuncturist dedicated to holistic patient care and education.
What I'm looking for
As a licensed acupuncturist, I am passionate about providing holistic care that empowers my patients to take charge of their health. With a Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, I have honed my skills in effective herbal formulation and trauma-informed care. My experience includes managing a private practice where I deliver personalized acupuncture treatments, prescribe herbal formulas, and educate patients on self-care practices.
In addition to my clinical work, I have a strong background in community engagement and education. I have coordinated food sovereignty programs and taught organic gardening, emphasizing the importance of healthy living. My administrative experience as an assistant has equipped me with the skills to manage client scheduling and maintain electronic health records efficiently.
