I practice acupuncture, herbal medicine, and medical qigong at my lovely office in Oakland, California. In my raw herb pharmacy, I make custom herbal formulas for my patients while they rest during acupuncture. I also enjoy making small batches of herbal products to address common issues. I’m a dedicated student and teacher of Yang style Tai Chi. Finding constant inspiration in the wisdom of Nature, I see each person as an ecosystem within a greater ecosystem. I strive to restore balance by discovering the root of imbalance, and by tapping into the innate healing abilities of each system. My acupuncture is greatly guided by palpation and observation, as I rely on the body to tell me what is needed. I love Saam acupuncture because it achieves powerful results with an elegant modicum of needles firmly rooted in our beautiful Classical medicine. My most influential teachers include Sharon Weizenbaum, Toby Daly, Kiiko Matsumoto, and Jeffrey Yuen.
