Greetings!

I am glad that you have reached out to me for treatment so you can return to greater balance and ease in your life.

I would like to share with you my personal and professional journey to obtain a Masters in Chinese Medicine. Being raised in Hawaii, a true melting pot, gave me the opportunity to meet people from different cultures and understand their heritage. As a result, I was introduced to the long philosophical and healing traditions from the East. I was attracted to the clear difference between Western thinking that divides the mind from the body and the more integrated Eastern perspective.

After moving to Oregon, I became a massage therapist, initially thinking of it as a way to help people relax and reduce stress as well as be a healthy vocation. During this period, I began dance and improv which inspires an “in the moment” mindset. I became increasingly driven by the understanding that the mind cannot be separated from the body to create well-being and healing. I then attended Naropa University, a national leader in holistic healing, where I majored in Health, Healing, and Dance/Movement Studies.
