Why did you become an acupuncturist?
I decided to change my career to acupuncture after being a patient for several years and finding that acupuncture changed my outlook. I worked in corporate America for over 20 years and was well on my way to being sick and miserable in my life. Acupuncture changed all of that. I am now happy and grateful and full of hope. I live life with wonder each and every day and I cannot think of a better gift for my patients.

What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?
As a practitioner I approach every session as an openhearted intelligent acupuncturist who creates an open, safe, nonjudgmental space for my clients. My goal is to help my patients find their way to inner peace through health and passion in their lives. I have spent much of my life in service to others both personally and in business. I believe that my unique training and skills give me the ability to help people successfully achieve their health and happiness goals.

What do you enjoy most about your work?
I specialize in treating women and children in all the stages of their lives and development. I have found that issues of infertility, depression, heart break and anxiety are often significant factors in women’s lives. At Dynamic Strategies Acupuncture I specialize in helping women through these life challenges so that they find true joy and fulfillment in their lives. Children and teens have their own unique challenges as they have to grow up in a complex world. At Dynamic Strategies Acupuncture I am concerned with giving children and teens a natural treatment modality for the issues that face them during their growth. I use many different techniques from the traditions of Chinese medicine, aromatherapy, Bach flower essence, and Zero Balancing to treat pain and enhance the health of my patients. I believe that wellness comes from within—when there is an alignment of body, mind and spirit, healing is just around the corner.

What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?
I often hear that people are afraid of needles and that they have heard acupuncture hurts. In acupuncture we use a different kind of needle from what you are used to in the doctor’s office. We use a solid needle the width of several fine hairs. Sometimes, in some locations, the needle sensation can be exciting. It is nothing like a bee sting because the sensation lasts less than five seconds.

How do you stay healthy in your own life?
I stay healthy in my life by cooking all organic foods from scratch that I grow on the farm where I grew up. I truly believe that cutting out all food processing and knowing exactly where your ingredients come from can help solve nine out of 10 health issues. I also walk several times a week and meditate on a regular basis.

Why did you become an acupuncturist?
When I was a kid and got the flu, my mother called our family doctor who gave me a shot and some pills. When I didn’t get better, she took me a doctor of Chinese medicine. I hated the taste of the herbal teas he prescribed. But after two days I was amazed when my fever, cough, and sore throat disappeared. Thus began my life-long fascination with Chinese medicine. The more I learned about Chinese medicine (which includes acupuncture, massage, herbal, diet and qigong therapy), the more passionate I became about this ancient art of healing. I view it not only as a profession, but also as a calling—one that I can use in the service of others.

What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?
I provide all my patients with self-care tools that they can use at home to enhance what I can do for them in the clinic. This includes advice on nutrition and qigong. I’m a certified level one and two instructor and master healer in Spring Forest Qigong, a simple-to-learn yet extremely powerful system of healing. I treat the whole person, the root of a problem, not just the symptom. My goal is to not only restore health but also to keep patients from getting sick in the first place.

What do you enjoy most about your work?
I enjoy the chance to help people. I love to see the smile on patient’s faces as they get stronger, healthier, and pain free.

What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?
People don’t realize that acupuncture is but one of the five pillars of Chinese medicine. The other four are: massage, herbs, nutrition, and qigong. While acupuncture alone can work wonders, when used in combination with one or more of the other pillars, it becomes even more effective.

How do you stay healthy in your own life?
I practice qigong daily to stay healthy. Of the five pillars of Chinese medicine, qigong is the one that’s most important because it helps balance the body, mind and spirit. That’s why I teach qigong and recommend it to all my patients.

How do you make acupuncture more accessible in your community?
I provide free acupuncture treatment and qigong classes to U.S. military personnel who have been injured in the line of duty. I also contribute 10 percent of my clinic’s annual net income to a charity that benefits wounded warriors. As a combat veteran, I want to give back to the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country.
