About Me

My path to becoming a healer began with my own search for wellness. When I discovered acupuncture, I was amazed by how profoundly it supported my healing. That experience inspired me to dive deep into this powerful medicine so I could share it with others.

I hold a Master’s in Science of Oriental Medicine and a Bachelor’s in Science of Nutrition from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine, graduating in 2024, and received my Illinois acupuncture license in 2025. I’m also a Reiki-certified practitioner with over 10 years of experience, and I originally earned my BA in music and theater from Columbia College.

I truly believe in the body’s natural ability to heal when nurtured and supported. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space for others to reconnect with their own healing potential through acupuncture, energy work, and holistic care.

I’m honored to be part of your journey.
