Classically trained in traditional Chinese body work at the Alaska Institute of Oriental Medicine in 2012. Highlights include cupping therapies, gua sha and tui nah- which optimize blood & lymph to promote healing in the body. These techniques break up adhesions while creating space in the fascia to allow patients sometimes to feel immediate relief that lasts.

Meridian therapy massage uses pressure points and trigger points to gently release areas of tension while allowing for a relaxation response throughout the course of the session. For those unsure about needles, they can still enjoy the benefits of mindful acupressure relief.

Upledger Institute certified cranial sacral techniques can stimulate cerebral spinal fluid and calm the nervous system.

Lymphatic work for surgery recovery and lymphedema. Edema is subcutaneous water accumulation in the skin viscera- when the body is having an inflammation response, or water metabolism is malfunctioning to a point of disruption or pain. To see noticeable changes in water accumulation means your lymphatic drainage system could be 50% blocked. That means any detoxification processes will allow toxins to be reabsorbed into the body if not corrected. Light touch massage can be beneficial for patients who are suffering with water retention and circulation issues. Even a 15 minute session of lymphatic drainage work can show results! Doctors now recommend this as a vital step in a patients full recovery post op. Some of them even require it to move forward with optional surgeries.

Enjoy your bodywork session with radiant infrared heat, handmade medicinal creams, aromatherapy, cupping, gua sha treatments and muscle relief medicinals hand crafted by local Master herbalists all inclusive in the cost of your specialty massage. If you love what was used in your session take them home to nourish your body between appointments.

Every treatment is unique to your individual needs. One day a cathartic purge may be exactly what you need but today allow yourself to deeply relax, exhale and be nourished by stillness and reverie.

An ancient healing tradition- brought back to the surface by JR Worsley. An elegant way to organize very complex information- Five Element Acupuncture is arguably some of the oldest medicine to date. The idea is building patients from the inside out and harmonizing with the seasons of nature. When we connect to nature we connect to the source.

Have you ever been to the doctor and after countless testing, MRI’s, bloodwork, GI mapping there is a frustrating conversation concluding that you are perfectly healthy with no diagnosis? That is where Chinese medicine can help. This is a nuanced search for balance within the body.

Allopathic medicine is fantastic for emergencies- but Eastern medicine can help you become an ambassador of your own health through wellness care. Chronic, mysterious pain can finally be diagnosed, explained and relieved.

The idea is by treating the constitution one can strengthen their foundation and the body can overcome illness. Helping the body remember what it is like to be well until it becomes innate art once again. When your healing comes from within, you never go without.

There are five elements; fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. We have all of these elements within us but one is our lense to which we see the world. When treated on this special element we touch the essence of our depths. We can gain clarity, stability, access to resources, put an end to ruminating thoughts and most importantly not be shaken by the outside environment- including turmoil caused by others. To master the unknown is to master the deepest part of oneself.

As mind, body and spirit entities- this medicine treats the mind and spirit in order to unravel the symptoms of pain within our body. A lot of chronic pain is caused by mind and spirit disorders- which can be beautifully harmonized with acupuncture, awareness, lifestyle changes and herbs.

This style of Acupuncture reveals original parts of ourself while stripping away the conditions/influences of the environment that we often confuse FOR ourself. For deep emotional healing, personal growth, exploring origins of trauma, support with grief, overcoming resentment, repressed emotions, anxiety, depression, deep longing, abuse, PTSD, anger, forgiveness, vulnerability and so much more.

Being alive is full of mystery, 5 Element Acupuncture helps you explore the inner landscape and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

This is a process. For some, transformation happens quickly. I suggest a commitment of 4-8 treatments before deciding acupuncture is not for you. Schedule a free 30 minute conversation to see if 5 Element Acupuncture would be a good fit for your healing needs.

Hippocrates said ‘let food be your medicine’-

It’s an understatement that people in our culture are mineral and nutrient deficient. Some of us have symptoms of these deficits from birth. Unfortunately the RDI for most supplements are just not enough for us to make up for the loss. Remineralizing the body is the foundation of wellness. Together we can discuss how to get your health and nutrition back on track. Chinese herbal remedies are a handy source of minerals available for support on your healing journey.

Chinese medicine is easy to incorporate because it IS food. It is as simple as making soup, drinking tea or having a snack before bedtime.

We find that some herbal remedies are supports we use for our constitution over a lifetime off and on as our energy waxes and wanes through cycles of our life. We have constitutional formulas to support our habitual tendencies of throwing ourselves off balance. This is a great way to support yourself between appointments.

There are times that we suffer a serious loss, find our hearts are in shock, rapidly consume resources of blood, yin or yang and become depleted, ravished and unable to get back on track on our own. These acute- non constitutional cases are also great for herbal support. Short term formulas can make huge positive changes in your life- from digestive distress, constipation, unrelenting loose stools, low libido, blood deficiency, menstrual cramping, various sleep issues and energy levels. We can find the perfect formula to support your needs.

Herbs can also help you harmonize with the seasons. As the seasons change there may be symptoms that arise that require extra tending.
