I am a Nationally Board Certified Acupuncturist specializing in cosmetic acupuncture & Gua Sha, pain management, allergy clearing, and essential acupuncture for natural healing. I am passionate about empowering my patients to create and maintain optimum wellbeing. At my clinic, I’ve worked with thousands of people to help them look and feel their best so they can fully enjoy everything life has to offer.
I believe personalized care is always the best care. Whether you are looking to reduce stress, eliminate pain, or reverse signs of aging, I work individually with each person to develop a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan.
I bring to you a background in Western medicine, Chinese medicine, and cosmetic facial rejuvenation for a holistic natural health experience.
I have an extensive background in dentistry and originally studied at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry. One of my earliest memories is hearing my grandmother recount her experiences of receiving acupuncture. I was fascinated by her stories of the “pins” and how acupuncture completely alleviated her pain. Years later, after my husband and I were hit by a drunk driver, one of my dental patients suggested acupuncture. I was amazed by the positive impact it had on healing my husband’s injuries. It was during these treatments I recalled my grandmother’s acupuncture stories and was ready to learn more about this ancient healing modality. I earned a Masters of Science in Acupuncture from the Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture in 2013, and a Doctorate of Acupuncture from Pacific College of Health & Science in 2023. I’ve leaned on my dentistry background and knowledge of the facial muscles and mandibular joint throughout my acupuncture career, using both to successfully treat TMJ issues and get noticeable cosmetic acupuncture results for my patients.
At Scottsdale Integrative Acupuncture, I blend the ancient wisdom of the East with a scientific mind of the West to offer you the most effective treatment available with an emphasis in advanced cosmetic facial rejuvenation, acute and chronic pain, sports rehabilitation, stress and anxiety relief, and sleep disorders.
I am a nationally Board-Certified Diplomate of Acupuncture from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and licensed to practice acupuncture in Arizona through the State of Arizona Acupuncture Board. I am certified to practice Cosmetic and Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture through advanced post-graduate training and have also received advanced training in the Allergy Clearing Technique.
