On Making Babies... I have been a fertility specialist for most of my acupuncture career, and I have helped hundreds of women achieve pregnancy which includes male fertility issues from time to time. Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve already tried IVF and failed, acupuncture can help. In my acupuncture practice, my focus is to help patients understand their lab reports and unique fertility challenges. Together, we then address specific issues as part of a whole-health approach. The fertility acupuncture niche has been one of my passions for over two decades. I never stop wanting to learn the latest, constantly seeking new ways to improve patient outcomes from pre-conception to delivery.
I have so many “infertile” women get pregnant and each case brings me as much joy as the first. This is not easy work — it’s always emotional and many times seems mysterious at first glance. This is where my 23 years of experience comes in — the diagnosis has to be just right. The treatment — acupuncture, herbs, nutrition — must be tailored exactly to your needs in order for it to work. Once we get that, your mama mojo can flourish (and we’re moving you closer to building your family).

Under my holistic method of pediatric care, I address everything from seasonal colds, allergies and digestive issues to most often - behavioral and emotional challenges of childhood and adolescence. It’s not easy being a kid these days! Acupuncture treatments are just the start: we'll also discuss lifestyle and nutritional changes that fit into your child’s needs and current food likes/dislikes. Needle-free treatments thru light stimulation are also very effective for my young patients who are not ready for acupuncture needles.
And that's exactly what inspired me to co-author my book! Feng Shui Your Mind offers a lighthearted approach to mindfulness by taking Feng Shui to an entirely new level -- to the mind itself.
