I’ve been involved in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) since 1997 and in private practice for over 20 years. I graduated at the top of my class from Five Branches Institute in Santa Cruz, CA, where I earned my Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine. At Five Branches, I interned in gynecology under Sharon Feng, MD, OMD, L.Ac. (former Chief of Residents, OB/GYN, at Shanghai Medical Hospital, China). After graduation, I worked for several years with Dr. Misha Cohen, OMD, L.Ac., an internationally recognized expert in the areas of Chinese medicine for HIV, Hepatitis C, and gynecology.

I am a Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist in California, which has the highest level of TCM licensing in the United States. My post-graduate work includes on-going advanced training in the areas of gynecology, obstetrics, and reproductive medicine. In 2020, I completed my Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Health & Science, with an emphasis on Women’s Health issues.

I have completed advanced Obstetrics training with Raven Lang, L.Ac., a leading expert in TCM Obstetrics and one of the first midwives in California, and have studied with Debra Betts, Dip. Ac., BHSc, a leading expert on the use of prenatal acupuncture. I have also completed Level 1 & 2 training with Claudia Citkovitz, MS, L.Ac., one of the nation's foremost authorities on the use of acupuncture during labor and delivery.

I am an active member of Norcal Fertility Group, a Bay Area coalition of Chinese medicine practitioners with advanced training in reproductive care for men and women, from pre-conception to delivery.

I am proud to be the mother of two children, both born at what is commonly referred to as “advanced maternal age.” •
