I am a Licensed Acupuncturist and Certified Massage Therapist based in Irvine, serving patients throughout Orange County. I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, with a special focus on chronic pain, anxiety, chronic stress, oncology support, gynecological health, and longevity support. I draw from acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, along with Asian bodywork including massage, acupressure, cupping, and gua sha. My approach blends clinical training with a calm, supportive environment so patients feel comfortable, seen, and cared for. I also bring over a decade of experience in therapeutic and spa-based bodywork modalities.

I work with people navigating ongoing tension, pain, and patterns that don’t always fit neatly into conventional medical categories. I’m particularly interested in how emotions live in the body and influence our organ systems. Chinese medicine teaches that stagnation leads to pain, physically and emotionally. My goal is to support both the physical body and the emotional patterns moving through it, so symptoms have space to shift over time. I help patients experience more free flow of Qi (vital energy) in their lives, allowing for less pain, more comfort, and greater well-being.

I feel fortunate to have grown up in California among diverse cultures and healing traditions. Holistic medicine was introduced to me by my mother, and traditional Chinese medicine by my father. When my four children were young, I began applying these teachings to better understand their individual constitutions and ailments. As they grew into adulthood, I shifted my focus to full-time study and practice of the healing arts I grew up with. That foundation continues to shape the care I offer today.
