"I strive to educate patients about their injuries or medical conditions while also empowering them to understand their bodies. Today’s culture has taught us to look at our bodies as machines that, when defective, are taken to the doctor to be fixed. I believe that there is no such thing as a perfect body, but there is such a thing as a pain-free body. Acupuncture, moxabustion, and orthopedic bodywork are tools I use in helping patients bring their bodies, minds and spirits into a balance."
