About Me

I am a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and massage therapist who lives and works in NYC. I believe gentle and non-invasive therapy like CranioSacral must be most effective to balance the whole body and maintain healthy homeostasis, especially when combined with acupuncture. Since I started practicing CranioSacral Therapy in 2014, I have often witnessed and experienced quite excellent results after the sessions. Using CranioSacral Therapy, I can approach my clients' issues holistically and effectively. I want to continue to explore and gain a deeper understanding of CranioSacral Therapy and be able to help people improve their well-being.
