I first became interested in acupuncture when a local acupuncturist was able, with just 3 treatments, to heal an arm injury that had persisted for over eighteen months.

In 2004 I went to Chengdu China to study the Taoist and Buddhist roots of Chinese medicine. The studies include daily qigong, chanting, and presentations by Chinese medical practitioners. The teaching was woven through a trip across China from Cloud Cap Observatory (A Taoist monastery built in 1041) outside Chengdu, down the Yangtze and out to the Buddhist monasteries of Mt. Puto in the China Sea.

On my return, I entered Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and pursued a four-year course of studies which included over 2625 hours of acupuncture and Chinese herbal training, and over 250 hours of Medical Qigong Training. After completing my studies at OCOM and receiving a MSOM, I returned to Nanjing, China and interned in 5 hospitals there, studying with what the Chinese refer to as "National Treasures" - individuals who have been practicing Chinese medicine for more than 40 years and are recognized as living masters in the art of acupuncture.

I had the honor and privilege of providing a weekly free clinic to the homeless in Phoenix at the Lodestar Day Resource Center every Tuesday morning for almost 5 years. During that time he provided over 2500 treatments. I have continued that tradition here, providing free clinics for the homeless and Veterans!

My focus is reducing stress. sciatica, immune issues, solving difficult cases of imbalance from unknown origins. eliminating pain, digestive issues, allergies, and migraines, I use acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, tuina, CranioSacral Therapy, moxibustion, Chinese herbs, homeopathy, and Medical Qigong in my quest to restore my patients to a state of balance, harmony, and health.
