My first experience with acupuncture was at age 13, in the back bedroom of my grandparent's home. An Acupuncturist was treating my mother for symptoms related to cancer. I remember being very interested in what was happening and the Acupuncturist asking if I wanted to help. She then showed me how to feel for energy and remove blocked or stuck qi (chi). Little did I know, that experience would change my life forever and set me on a path to becoming an acupuncturist.

While studying for my degree and treating at my school's clinic, I quickly became skilled at treating pain and chronic illness. At the same time, I had a deep interest in and considered specializing in cosmetic acupuncture and holistic skincare.

Upon graduating, I began working at a prestigious multidisciplinary wellness center, where my skills in alleviating pain became even more significant. I had the pleasure of treating world-class athletes and professionals in the NFL, MMA, and ultramarathon world. I spent five great years serving as Director of Acupuncture and further honed my craft.

In 2020 my husband and I were pursuing greater balance in our lives and decided to move to Fort Mill, South Carolina. This move paved the way for me to open my private practice, where I could provide the highest level of one-on-one care to my patients. It also allowed me to highlight my precision and attention to detail, focusing on cosmetic acupuncture and holistic skin care, specifically microneedling. As an Acupuncturist and someone who values an organic lifestyle, I am excited to be able to provide toxin and harsh chemical-free treatments for those seeking beauty, naturally!
