OT for 17 years, practicing in trauma, rehab, mental health, orthopedics, cardiac and intensive care. OT is grounded in treating the client as a whole, addressing all areas of life-work, play, and self care. While I am grateful for the opportunities provided to me through this education, I began to feel as though I was less able to impact change with my clients. The medicine was getting muddled, and I was losing the ability to connect to my clients and improve the root of their dysfunction. I was introduced to Chinese Medicine when I was seeking alternative care for myself. The quick change and drastic improvement in my overall well being was enough to encourage me to seek out an education.
These years as a holistic Western practitioner gave me a sound base for the transition into Chinese Medicine. As a Chinese Medicine provider, I am able to fuse my knowledge of Western diagnoses and treatment with Chinese Medicine framework to heal the root cause of dysfunction. I am able to address the ways that illness and injury impact your life-in every aspect. Treatment plans will be tailored to your needs, but your healing journey is always the focus.
