About Me

I have been in the medical field in one form or another since I was 14 years old. I have been a nurse for over 30 years and served in the military as a nurse/medic for 21 years.   Upon retiring from the military in 2017, I knew I needed to do more for my patients. I was tired of the band aid approach and the growing list of medications being pushed upon my patients without effective outcomes.  While I was researching my options, I completed a 1-year certification in integrated nutrition and a Reiki certification.

I fell in love with Chinese Medicine while working for Dr. Williams at Wood Element and knew that this was the missing puzzle I had been looking for. There was no turning back as I took the leap of faith into the world of Chinese Medicine at the tender age of 55.

I believe in an integrated approach to health. We are all unique bio individuals and will respond to our lifestyle choices, stressors, pathogens, and our environment as such. I feel that Health and Healing is defined by each individual and that it comes from within.  I see myself as a guide to their journey there. If we give our mind, body, and spirit the right environment by bringing it back to a balanced state; it has the capacity to do miraculous things.
