Bio
I first experienced acupuncture in the treatment of my neck and low back pain. I was hit behind in a car accident when I was a teenager and struggled with the pain for years. Acupuncture services were not covered by my insurance and out-of-pocket costs were unaffordable. Fortunately, I found an affordable community clinic in Ashland, Oregon.
My results were wonderful at this clinic. I began to really see my pain reduce, and I started to regain my health. I’ll be forever grateful for how this clinic made it accessible enough for me to receive their care.
It followed that I decided to go to acupuncture school, and decided on the same school where my acupuncturists graduated from in Honolulu.
After graduating from World Medicine Institute in Honolulu in 2013, I was able to gain a lot of experience in the community before relocating to Washington. I decided to treat patients in the same affordable way as I once received.
I began providing detox and addiction treatments at Hale Na’au Pono on the Waianae coast, became owner and acupuncturist of Honolulu Community Acupuncture at Hawaii Integrative Health, and a clinical supervisor for student interns.
I’ve really enjoyed working on a team rather than by myself as an acupuncturist. My community acupuncture services were at a Naturopathic clinic in Honolulu. Through my work I began to see how valuable it is for patients to have different eyes on them so they could get the best care possible.
Skagit Community Acupuncture in Burlington was the first clinic I started providing services for in Washington, which I began in the Summer of 2017.
After seeing dozens of patients per week and hundreds per year , I’m continually amazed at what acupuncture can do for patients. We don’t need to spend an inordinate amount of time with you to give you proper care. We need just enough time. When patients can afford to come back as much as they need to get the results they want, then the ancient and enduring art of acupuncture gets a chance to shine.
I look forward to working with you here in beautiful Bellingham, WA!
