Health is wholeness,
not just the absence of symptoms
Restoration of harmony is the goal
Step away from the noise and step into a sanctuary designed for profound physical release, a quieter mind, and undivided, expert care. Here, we invite your body back into its natural state of harmony.
A Layered Approach to Harmony
True wellness is the feeling of coming home to your body.
When you are in harmony, your mind is naturally quiet, your vitality returns, and you can meet life’s daily rhythms with an inner sense of ease and enthusiasm.
Yet, stress and physical discomfort rarely live on the surface. They are woven from the layers of daily habits, physical tension, and emotional weight. Rather than offering a rigid, clinical fix, I meet you precisely where you are. Together, we will gently unearth and harmonize these layers, blending precise acupuncture, intuitive hands-on therapy, and sound healing tailored completely to you.
Choosing a partner for your wellness journey is deeply personal. I am honored by your consideration, and I am entirely committed to providing you with my undivided attention, expert care, and an absolute sanctuary for your restoration.

The Steward of Your Sanctuary
True health is wholeness—not simply the absence of symptoms.
Embarking on a path toward deeper restoration requires an environment of absolute trust, and I am honored to walk beside you as you welcome your body back into its natural state of harmony.
A Personal Awakening to Wholeness
My path to Eastern Medicine began in 2004 as a personal quest for survival and peace. For years, I suffered from severe, debilitating migraines that fragmented my daily life. It was through the profound, quiet power of acupuncture that I finally found lasting relief and experienced the feeling of truly coming home to my body. This personal awakening transformed my life and inspired a lifelong devotion to helping others unearth their own innate capacity to heal.
Roots of Wisdom & Medicine
To serve as a grounded anchor for your restoration, I have spent over two decades cultivating both classical knowledge and intuitive healing traditions:
Classical Roots: I am a graduate of the Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine, carrying a lineage of deep, elemental healing into my active North Carolina practice.
Botanical Harmony: As a certified clinical herbalist, I was the first graduate of a unique program bridging Chinese and Western herbal traditions, blending the wisdom of different earths.
Continuous Devotion: I treat my practice as a living art, constantly expanding my modalities through ongoing study and spiritual cultivation.
Weaving the Layers of Care
To help you step away from the noise and gently release the physical and emotional weight of daily life, I weave a layered tapestry of medicine into our sacred clinical space:
Nourishment as Medicine: I incorporate Chinese and Ayurvedic principles into the alchemy of cooking, guiding you to use food as a sacred tool for vitality.
Cultivating Vital Energy: Every Tuesday morning at Neighborhood Yoga in Downtown Boone, I guide seekers through Qi Gong—a comprehensive self-care routine of standing meditation, movement, and self-massage to quiet the mind.
Vibrational Medicine: As a lifelong musician, percussionist, and modern dance accompanist at Appalachian State University, I work deeply with the spiritual potency of sound. During your session, I channel spontaneous sound therapy, co-created in the moment and completely inspired by the evolving energy of your body.
Every treatment is a shared ritual of restoration. Together, we will gently clear the layers of tension, calm the spirit, and welcome your body back to its natural rhythm of ease and enthusiasm.
This devotion to wholeness is woven into every moment of the care experience I cultivate for you.
The Experience
Inside the Harmony Reset
Your healing is never rushed. Every session is an immersive, 75-minute sanctuary ritual designed to envelope you in profound relaxation while precisely addressing your unique health intentions.
Step 1: The Sacred Dialogue (Consultation & Interview)
Our time always begins face-to-face. Before you ever step onto the treatment table, we sit together in a quiet consultation. We will discuss your current health goals, check in on how your body is feeling that day, and listen deeply to what your system needs. This intentional conversation allows us to co-create the blueprint for your treatment.
Step 2: Preparing the Vessel (Tui Na)
Transitioning to the warmth of the table, your therapy begins with Tui Na—an intuitive Chinese medical massage. By gently working into the tissues, this hands-on therapy releases physical armor, promotes the flow of vital energy (Qi) and fluids, and guides your body into a deeply receptive, open state of relaxation.
Step 3: The Core Harmonization (Acupuncture & Adjunct Arts)
Once your body is resting in this tranquil space, we begin the core of your session. While the ancient art of acupuncture requires absolute precision, my clinical approach is deeply gentle and intuitive. I honor your body’s sensitivity, placing each needle with meticulous care to align with what your system needs that day. To deepen and support your restoration, we may naturally integrate other classical modalities as needed, including:
Cupping Therapy: To release deep-seated physical tension and stagnation.
Moxibustion: To warm the meridians, stoke your inner fire, and boost vitality.
Gua Sha: To invite fresh circulation and clearing to the tissues.
Step 4: The Sound Bath Sanctuary (Vibrational Holding)
With your consent, I remain fully present in the sanctuary room with you while the needles do their work. Rather than leaving you in isolation, I weave a continuous backdrop of gentle, live sound healing. This intuitive vibrational medicine allows you to drop into a profound state of deep relaxation and integrated harmony.
Step 5: Extending the Momentum (Integration)
As you gently return from your session, we conclude with a grounded integration conversation. Together, we will map out supportive lifestyle rituals to carry the momentum of your treatment out into the world, including personalized dietary alchemy, herbal strategies, and self-care exercises.

Acupuncture helps to encourage the harmonious movement of energy which may have become erratic or impeded due to an injury, stress, emotional trauma, or a combination of any number of internal and external factors. If you have a specific condition you're looking to treat or any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
-
Acupuncture is generally not painful and many people find it to be a relaxing experience often drifting off to sleep during the treatment once all the needles have been inserted. There is often a momentary sensation of the tissues “grabbing” the inserted needle but this should subside quickly.
-
This will depend on several factors, including the following:
Is it an acute or chronic issue?
The degree to which lifestyle factors are involved and compliance with practitioner recommendations.
One’s constitution, age, and relative health situation.
Three sessions performed over the course of three successive weeks is my recommendation in most cases as an initial course of treatment..
