I am in my 18th year as a licensed Acupuncturist and certified Chinese Herbalist. I see many patients with pain and orthopedic related problems as well as chronic and debilitating illnesses such as cancer, MS, irritable bowel, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and mental health issues. I am also on staff at the MGH Cancer Center. While I do not treat cancer directly, I work to help with immune support and stress reduction, to support the whole person in body and mind as they go through cancer treatment. In addition to acupuncture, I work with my hands sometimes using Tuina chinese massage or Specialized Stretching (AIS). Specialities: Chinese & Japanese Acupuncture; Tuina (chinese medical massage); Auricular Acupuncture; Nutritional Support; Chinese Herbal Medicine; Biotherapeutic Drainage; Homeopathy & Gemmotherapy; Active Individual Stretching (AIS); Acupuncture Detox Specialist, and Scalp Acupuncture for neurological problems My goal is to assist all my patients with their ability to thrive.I focus on identifying causal contributors to the problem, including possible toxicity and pathogens and as appropriate, work with Herbal & Nutritional supplements to enhance the body's own immune system, nutritional status, increased stamina and resilience.
