I completed my training in 2004 during a ten-month teacher-training program at The Columbia Yoga Center. I am a registered yoga teacher through the Yoga Alliance at the 200-hour level (RYT ® 200). I teach Hatha yoga which is the yoga of physical postures and breathing techniques. My classes are inspiring and work toward emphasizing correct alignment and form. I blend my knowledge of Chinese medicine and acupuncture into my yoga classes masterfully weaving in ancient healing philosophies with the art and science of yoga. My training with teachers from the Iyengar and Anusara traditions creates a balance of heart-centered expressions and anatomical precision. I have studied with Bob Glicksien (founder of The Columbia Yoga Center), Joseph Roberson, Kathy Donnell (Director of The Columbia Yoga Center), Judith Lasater, Barbara Allen, and my current teacher Eric Reid. My dedication to my students is a joyful time exploring the body and creating awareness through the postures of Yoga.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine help your body get back to it's inherent state of balance and health. Acupuncture helps improve the flow of blood and energy. Chinese herbs can replenish and revive on an ongoing basis. I have a general medicine practice treating a wide variety of issues. Chronic illness, pain, fertility, and mental health issues being the largest portion of problems that I work with. I love what I do and get great satisfaction from helping people realize better health in all respects.

What is Chinese Medicine? Many people are acquainted with Acupuncture and possibly herbs but the world of Chinese Medicine offers many other methods and techniques. When you come to us for treatment, we may use multiple approaches among the five major branches of Chinese Medicine: acupuncture, herbs, diet or nutrition, exercise and meditation. What is especially unique about Chinese Medicine is that we start with you, not your problem. We treat the person not the condition. Our Unusual Approach We are called Attentive Dragon because we pay attention to you. We treat only one patient at a time. We listen to you and provide time-consuming treatments like moxabustion which are so beneficial. When you are in our office, we give you our full attention. You are our focus and our only concern.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology are often effective for a wide range of complaints including many types of pain arthritis fibromyalgia, fatigue, menstrual and fertility problems, respiratory illnesses, digestive disorders, addictions, stress, sports injuries, arthritis, hypertension, anxiety and depression, insomnia and side effects from cancer treatment. Our state of health is reflected in our physical fitness and vitality, our emotional responsiveness and serenity, our mental clarity and creativity and our morale and sense of purpose. When there is an underlying harmony and balance in our system, we enjoy optimum well-being. When we experience symptoms of ill health and disease, acupuncture seeks to restore our natural balance so each of us can experience our birthright of health.
