I practice a unique style of acupuncture, which combines the approaches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Sports Medicine Acupuncture (which targets specific muscle motor points, as well as specific ligaments and fascia), Neuropuncture (which chooses approaches based off neural anatomy), Japanese Acupuncture (primarily the approach of Kiiko Matsumoto), as well as scalp and ear acupuncture. I continually refine my approach to further discover the best style which will get a patient out of pain the quickest while also eliciting the longest lasting relief.
I also treat my patients with herbs, supplements and nutriceuticals, My primary training is with TCM/ Chinese herbalism but also have education in western herbalism as well as research based supplementation that a Naturopath would also utilize.

An herbal consult will include a comprehensive health history to understand what makes the patient and their condition unique. It can also include physical examination such as pulse, tongue and palpation based diagnosis which will offer extra information to understand the patient's situation from a Traditional Chinese Medical Perspective. I have also been mentored in and have studied other forms of herbalism such as western herbalism and using nutriceuticals and well studied bioconstituents (which are the compounds extracted from herbs such as curcumin from turmeric) to treat patients. I apprecenticed under a brilliant herbalist who taught me how to build protocols for patients to treat even the most complicated of conditions. That mentor had a lot of experience supporting patients with chronic infections, autoimmune conditions, endocrine disorders and cancer.
