Introduction: I was inspired to study Chinese medicine when my son, who was 4 years old at the time came down with severe environmental allergies. I found that Chinese medicine provided the answers, relief and healing that Western medicine could not. Subsequently, I graduated summa cum laude from The Midwest College of Oriental Medicine, Chicago, IL in 2001 and have never looked back, as I built my practice on "word-of-mouth" referrals!
I feel a sense of reverence using ancient wisdom for modern times as well as a feeling of achievement knowing that through applying Chinese medicine, I have profoundly affected someone's well-being, all by way of a simplistic, yet effective treatment!
I often hear from my patients that they ran the gamut of treatments available, and that I am "the last resort", or that they have been told they just need to live with the situation, or even that what they're experiencing has to do with just getting old. Aging does not mean that you have to just live with it. There is an acupuncture treatment that is just right for every situation.
