Health is wholeness,
not just the absence of symptoms
Restoration of harmony is the goal
Step away from the noise and step into a space designed for profound physical release, a quieter mind, and undivided, gentle care. Here, I invite your body back into its natural state of harmony.
A Layered Approach to Harmony
True wellness is the feeling of coming home to your body. When you are in harmony, your mind is naturally quiet, your vitality returns, and you can meet life’s daily rhythms with an inner sense of ease and enthusiasm.
Yet, stress and physical discomfort are rarely just surface-level experiences. While they may sharply show up as immediate tension in your body, they are intricately woven from deeper layers of daily habits, physical holding patterns, and emotional weight. Rather than a one-size-fits-all clinical approach, I meet you precisely where you are. Together, we will gently unearth and harmonize these layers, blending precise acupuncture, intuitive hands-on therapy, and sound healing tailored completely to you.
Choosing a partner for your wellness journey is deeply personal. I am honored by your consideration, and I am entirely committed to providing you with my undivided attention, expert care, and an absolute sanctuary for your restoration.
The Steward of Your Space
True health is wholeness—not simply the absence of symptoms.
Embarking on a path toward deeper restoration requires an environment of absolute trust, and I am honored to walk beside you as you welcome your body back into its natural state of harmony.
A Personal Awakening to Wholeness
My path to Eastern Medicine began in 2004 as a personal quest for survival and peace. For years, I suffered from severe, debilitating migraines that fragmented my daily life. It was through the profound, quiet power of acupuncture that I finally found lasting relief and experienced the feeling of truly coming home to my body. This personal awakening transformed my life and inspired a lifelong devotion to helping others unearth their own innate capacity to heal.
Roots of Wisdom & Medicine
To serve as a grounded anchor for your restoration, I have spent over two decades cultivating both classical knowledge and intuitive healing traditions:
Classical Roots: I am a graduate of the Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine, carrying a lineage of deep, elemental healing into my active North Carolina practice.
Botanical Harmony: As a certified clinical herbalist, I was the first graduate of a unique program bridging Chinese and Western herbal traditions, blending the deep wisdom of both eastern and western lineages.
Continuous Devotion: I treat my practice as a living art, constantly expanding my modalities through ongoing study and spiritual cultivation.
Weaving the Layers of Care
To help you step away from the noise and gently release the physical weight of daily life, I weave a layered tapestry of care into this sanctuary space:
Nourishment as Medicine: During our time together, I offer insights from classical Chinese and Ayurvedic dietary traditions to help you find practical nourishment rhythms. Whether you love cooking at home or simply need effortless strategies for selecting daily meals, I guide you to use food as a practical tool for your vitality.
Cultivating Vital Energy: Every Tuesday morning at Neighborhood Yoga in Downtown Boone, I guide wellness seekers through Qi Gong—a comprehensive self-care routine of standing meditation, movement, and self-massage to restore physical alignment, open circulatory pathways, and quiet the mind. Inside our private sessions, I bring this practice directly to you by sharing easy-to-learn, highly targeted movement exercises. Because starting a new routine can feel overwhelming, we will focus only on simple micro-practices that align completely with your current ability level and seamlessly fit into your busy life—no massive time commitments required.
Vibrational Medicine: As a lifelong musician, percussionist, and modern dance accompanist at Appalachian State University, I work deeply with the restorative capacity of sound. During your session, I craft a spontaneous acoustic soundscape, co-created in the moment and gently attuned to the resting rhythm of your body. Playing a unique, melodic acoustic instrument softly by hand, I bring forth a wash of warm, enveloping vibrations to quiet the mind and deepen your physical restoration.
Every treatment is a shared ritual of restoration. Together, we will gently clear the layers of tension, calm the spirit, and welcome your body back to its natural rhythm of ease and enthusiasm.
This devotion to wholeness is woven into every moment of the care experience I cultivate for you.
The Experience
Inside the Harmony Reset
Your healing is never rushed. Every session is an immersive, 75-minute restorative session designed to envelope you in profound relaxation while precisely addressing your unique health intentions.
Step 1: The Initial Dialogue (Consultation & Interview)
Our time always begins face-to-face. Before you ever step onto the treatment table, we sit together in an unhurried consultation. We will discuss your current health goals, check in on how your body is feeling that day, and listen deeply to what your system needs. This intentional conversation allows us to co-create the blueprint for your treatment.
Step 2: Preparing the Body (Tui Na)
Transitioning to the warmth of the table, your therapy begins with Tui Na—an intuitive Chinese medical massage. By gently working into the tissues, this hands-on therapy releases physical armor, promotes the flow of vital energy (Qi) and fluids, and guides your body into a deeply receptive, open state of relaxation.
Step 3: The Core Harmonization (Acupuncture & Adjunct Arts)
Once your body is resting in this tranquil space, we begin the core of your session. While the ancient art of acupuncture requires absolute precision, my clinical approach is deeply gentle and intuitive. I honor your body’s sensitivity, placing each needle with meticulous care to align with what your system needs that day. To deepen and support your restoration, we may naturally integrate other classical modalities as needed, including:
Cupping Therapy: To release deep-seated physical tension and stagnation.
Moxibustion: To warm the meridians, stoke your inner fire, and boost vitality.
Gua Sha: To invite fresh circulation and clearing to the tissues.
Step 4: Restorative Sound Resonance (Vibrational Holding)
With your consent, I remain fully present in the room with you while the needles do their work. Rather than leaving you in isolation, this becomes a space of shared, co-creative healing. I weave a continuous backdrop of live, intuitive sound therapy using a melodic, hand-played acoustic instrument. These spontaneous, improvised melodies emit a wash of warm, enveloping vibrations that mirror the quiet rhythm of your resting body. This gentle vibrational medicine allows you to drop safely into a profound state of deep relaxation and integrated harmony.
Step 5: Extending the Momentum (Integration)
As you gently return from your session, we conclude with a grounded integration conversation. Together, we will map out supportive lifestyle habits to carry the momentum of your treatment out into the world, including personalized dietary insights, herbal strategies, and self-care exercises.
Deepen Your Healing: The Integration Series
True restoration is a continuous journey. While a single session melts away immediate surface stress, a dedicated sequence of treatments allows the nervous system to safely drop into a sustained state of balance.
To support your commitment to long-term vitality, I offer The Integration Series—a curated bundle of four 75-minute Harmony Reset sessions for $440 (a $60 savings). Secure your healing path upfront and experience the profound benefits of cumulative, unhurried care.

Understanding Your Care
-
Single 75-minute sessions are $125. To keep care accessible to our Boone neighbors, I maintain a limited number of sliding-scale openings based on financial need. If you would like to explore a flexible fee structure that fits your current situation, please reach out to me directly prior to booking your appointment so I can find an arrangement that works for you.
-
I do not accept insurance directly. However, I am happy to provide you with a detailed, itemized statement (often called a superbill) containing all the necessary clinical and diagnostic codes required for you to file for personal reimbursement with your provider.
-
Acupuncture works by encouraging the smooth, balanced circulation of blood and vital energy, which can easily become restricted or disrupted by physical injury, chronic stress, or emotional weight. While it targets systemic health rather than just masking symptoms, I regularly work with clients managing pain, tension, and stress patterns. If you have a specific condition or health goal you would like to discuss, please feel free to reach out before booking.
-
Acupuncture is generally not painful and many people find it to be a relaxing experience often drifting off to sleep during the treatment once all the needles have been inserted. There is often a momentary sensation of the tissues “grabbing” the inserted needle but this should subside quickly.
-
Your optimal treatment plan depends entirely on your unique baseline health, your age, and whether your primary concern is an acute issue or a long-standing, chronic pattern. Because the benefits of acupuncture are cumulative, I recommend an initial course of three consecutive weekly sessions for most conditions. This allows us to build strong therapeutic momentum and accurately evaluate your body's response.
