About your practitioner
I graduated from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM) in Portland, Oregon with a Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, after completing the rigorous 3 year program. While studying there, I gained experience in pain management, digestive disorders, women's health, herbal medicine, and community based clinics.
After graduation, I had the great opportunity to travel to Nanjing, China to continue my study at the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. There I worked in the hospitals alongside Chinese physicians performing acupuncture and prescribing herbal medicine for Chinese patients. Interning in China gave me new techniques while training with masters of the medicine, as well as experience in the traditional group treatment setting.
Prior to enrolling in acupuncture school, I practiced as a massage therapist for several years. After using acupressure on my clients, with great results, I became interested in pursuing East Asian medicine even more, which led me to OCOM.
