MATERNAL CARE

The fertility road can be difficult and it can become rather mechanical. The intimacy and spiritual connection is almost lost and it can be very lonely. This is where I meet you to bridge the gap and give you the space and attention needed to be supported. This support continues throughout your pregnancy as symptoms arise, and at 36 weeks I start prepping you to welcome your baby into the world with ease.

I invite you to include your partner in our sessions. One of the things that I find so rewarding is teaching pain-management techniques so your partner knows how to best support you. I demonstrate how to cope through contractions and labor pain to empower you and you partner through this journey together.

ATHLETES

Since 2005, I’ve been part of several sports-care medical teams across Orange County that specialize in professional surfer rehabilitation as well as football, tennis and more. I work with elite athletes in my clinic to enhance recovery time from injuries and surgery using acupuncture, electrical stimulation, massage and cupping.

SCHEDULE RECOVERY TIME

GENERAL WELLNESS

One of the things my clients have told me over the past 20 years is “getting old sucks”. Sometimes when we get caught up in work-life, parenting, or the daily to-do’s, we neglect our own well-being.

Together, I can help you connect the dots and restore balance through Traditional Chinese Medicine, meditation, nutrition and lifestyle changes. My goal is to help you feel like yourself again.

Tiny, sterile needles calm the nervous system, increase circulation, strengthen the immune system, and restore homeostasis so that the body returns to optimal health and functions the way it was intended to. I also use magnetized, gold-plated neodymium discs to transmit energy in specific directional means through corresponding points on the hands that correlate with specific acupuncture points on the body.
