I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2005.  I love to help people with the healing process and with maintaining health.  I became frustrated with the limitations of massage therapy so I decided to add to my skills for helping people.   Through Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine I am able to help so many different conditions and integrate my massage therapy and Western Medicine knowledge into comprehensive healing treatment.  

I studied massage therapy in New Jersey.  After completing the 500 hour course I became nationally certified.  I continued my studies and completed over 1000 hours of training to be able to sit for the New York State Licensing exam.  After receiving my license, I worked in the Bronx at a rehabilitation massage center as well as having a thriving private practice in Manhattan.

I moved out to Oregon to attend Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and received my Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.  Upon completion I sat for my board examinations and became Nationally Certified as a Diplomate in Acupuncture from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.  I am also licensed by the Oregon Medical Board.
