I'm Experienced!
In 1997 I went into Chinese medicine and have practiced in Asheville since 2001. I have treated hundreds of patients like you and have a high clinical success rate - much higher than what acupuncture studies report. I treat a wide range of conditions including many patients who have not received effective treatment with conventional medicine. I am an experienced and knowledgeable herbalist, Board Certified in Oriental Medicine by NCCAOM, the highest level of certification available. My colleagues respect my expertise, many of whom consult with me on cases.

I'm Dedicated!
I have dedicated my professional life to eliminating the afflictions affecting my patients. I am a tenacious practitioner and do not give up on difficult cases. Because I see only one patient at a time, I give you my complete focus during your treatment. If you are responding slowly I will research and use different approaches so that I ensure you become well again.

I'm Effective!
I practice a unique style of acupuncture called The Balance Method. For patients with pain, I expect to dramatically reduce the level of pain during your first treatment. The Balance Method offers fast symptom relief early on using fewer acupuncture needles than other methods in use today. I compound individualized herbal formulas that enhance the effectiveness of your treatment and speed recovery. Results are long lasting.
To briefly discuss specifics of your condition and whether you are a candidate for acupuncture, I offer a 15 minute phone consultation at no charge to you. For an in-depth conversation schedule an initial consultation to learn how we can work together to achieve lasting results in improving your health.

I began implementing this method in 2007 and now use it exclusively due to the effective results it offers using fewer needles than other methods in use today. Pain is relieved on the first treatment. Symptoms improve quickly. Results are long lasting. I am a knowledgeable and accomplished herbalist. I compound custom herbal formulas to enhance treatment and speed your recovery.

In my early adulthood I suffered debilitating back pain due to auto accidents and became gravely ill with Lyme disease. I turned to holistic medicine after exhausting the ability of western medicine to care for me. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was critical to my recovery. In 1997 I went into Chinese medicine as a second career to serve others like you by eliminating your pain and sickness; thereby empowering you to reclaim your health so that you may continue leading a happy and productive life.
