As many of you know, I have had multiple careers (for over six years). I’ve had dual careers for over 15 years. I have interests in all aspects of health and love to dive deeply into tools that can positively impact others’ physical, spiritual, mental and financial health.

Today I am feeling especially grateful to be a Division Leader with Five Rings Financial.
What I love most about our culture is that we start with people, not products. We take the time to understand what matters to them, what their goals are, their concerns, and their comfort level with risk. We listen first, then educate.

When someone wants to explore financial strategies, we provide information and illustrations based on historical averages—not promises—so they can make informed decisions that align with their needs and values.

I also love that we offer complimentary educational opportunities like Money 101, giving people a strong financial foundation, and Wine, Women & Wealth, where women can learn, build a positive money mindset, and support one another through connection and networking.

Each one of us deserves to be heard, respected, and given the space to make decisions that are right for us. I’m grateful to be part of a team that is committed to serving from that place every day.

Being a caregiver asks so much of your heart, your body, and your nervous system. Every day in my practice I see nurturers who live on “fumes”, pushing themselves to be there for others, to create beautiful holiday memories, while juggling new or old aches, fatigue, overwhelm, and not feeling quite right, yet being told they are healthy.

If you’re navigating stress, pain, hot flashes, night sweats, evening hunger, digestive issues, poor sleep, night time bathroom trips, dryness, pms….I’m here to support your health goals gently, with natural remedies.

In my practice, I blend acupuncture, lymphatic drainage, herbal medicine, light therapy, and natural peptides to help your body reset, heal, and come back into balance.

It’s not about merely treating symptoms—it’s listening to your goals and addressing the root cause of what bothers you. It’s about restoring your energy, clarity, balance and comfort in your body.

If your body has been whispering (or shouting) for some care, I’d love to help you to give the gift of pampering to yourself

Happy December! The year 2025 is about endings and saying, “Goodbye” to things that don’t serve us. 😘

My Heart is Full 💗. Tonight I stopped the busy-ness of life to experience Joy and connection with community, the Divine, in an active meditation of song, movement, breath at the Pilgrammage of the Heart Yoga. Singing, dancing, art and poetry powerfully transport me to magical places, ever since I can remember. I felt chills all evening, as we sang, clapped and danced to sanskrit and original songs, that touches the depths of who we are. Happy tears flowed from my eyes. My heart felt warm, open as children and men, from the audience, spontaneously sang from their hearts, and perfectly blended their voices with the Women’s Choir.

A wave of Community Centered Love and support is happening world wide and is hitting a crescendo. The media isn’t covering it. We have the power to create what we wish to experience. Each individual powerfully contributes to the whole by living their authentic, beautiful, self. Free quality music and meditation is available, monthly at Pilgrammage of the Heart Yoga, in case it interests you.

That which helps us thrive and fills our hearts are the small, inexpensive things. We know that connection with nature, positive thoughts/feelings, music, laughter, community, faith, physical movement, hugs, following our deepest passions and our greatest joy, builds our health. What is your greatest joy?

Support Your Health from the Inside Out
Natural Peptides + Holistic Health = Smarter Results
As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, my mission is to help you to maximize your health, strength, immune system and thrive—through safe, evidence-based approaches rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern science.
I now offer Natural Peptides—plant-based amino acid chains (the building block of muscle-tissues that work with your body to enhance strength, metabolism, and quality of life. Extracted from Fava Beans using a patented process, these effective peptides are 100% natural, clean, third party reviewed and clinically researched.
✨ In a 2025 BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health study, adults who took 2.4 g of Fava Bean peptides daily—along with just 60 minutes of weekly resistance training—experienced:
✅ Increased lean muscle mass; decreased visceral fat
✅ Better bone density and endurance
✅ Enhanced production of myokines—powerful amino acids/proteins that support your heart, brain, metabolic and immune health while reducing inflammation and slowing the aging process.
Integrated into your holistic wellness plan—with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and movement—these natural peptides help you get maximized results from your healthy habits and efforts.
🌿 When your body gets the right support, it knows what to do. It heals itself and feels great to live in.

🌙 Better Sleep, Naturally 🌙
So many of us struggle with truly restful sleep. Deep sleep isn’t just about rest—it’s when the body repairs, hormones reset, and the brain actually clears away the “clutter” from the day with cerebrospinal fluid. Without enough, we wake up foggy, tired, and run down.
✨ Simple sleep hygiene tips (see post photo)
🌿 Chinese Medicine wisdom: Being asleep before 11 p.m. is key—it’s Gallbladder time, when the body gives its “instructions” to other organs for optimal repair. Many who struggle with fatigue improve simply by shifting their bedtime earlier.
✨ Acupuncture + natural support: Acupuncture works on the root causes of poor sleep: calming the mind, nourishing yin to anchor yang, and supporting the organs that keep you asleep.
I also love a gentle supplement called Restore (from Make Wellness). It’s a natural peptide blend derived from rice, with:
* 🌱 Peptides — “smart supplements” that help lower cortisol + increase deep REM sleep
* 🍵 L-Theanine — from green tea, calms the brain
* 🌼 Apigenin — from chamomile, promotes relaxation
Unlike sleep meds that can shorten REM, Restore supports your body’s natural rhythm for deeper, more refreshing sleep.
💜 Small changes, combined with supportive tools like acupuncture or Restore, can make a huge difference. Sleep is the foundation for energy, focus, and true healing.
What’s your biggest sleep challenge—falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early?

✨ Simple sleep hygiene tips that help:
* Stick to the same bedtime + wake time (even on weekends!)
* No caffeine after 2pm, and avoid alcohol/heavy meals before bed
* Cool, dark, quiet bedroom
* No screens 30–60 minutes before bed
* Bed = sleep + intimacy only (no scrolling!)
* Relax with a shower, book, meditation, or slow breathing
