I have always felt that there was a strong connection between the mind, body, spirit, and environment and was drawn to TCM because it gave me a holistic framework that confirmed my beliefs. With a greater understanding of the relationship between the human condition and the universe, or the microcosm and the macrocosm, I apply this knowledge using acupuncture to help patients heal and become more physically and emotionally balanced. As an acupuncturist who carries the legacy of the barefoot doctors before me, I aim to provide affordable healthcare to as many Oaklanders as possible because I believe that improving the health and well-being of the individual can lead to healing our community as a whole. When I’m not at OAP, I can be found rock climbing, learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or hanging out in nature. I sub at both the Grand Ave. Clinic and Laurel Ave. Clinic.
