Most of my patients don't know this about me...

Decades ago, I was dealing witha royal pain in the butt(and I'm talking about a LITERAL pain). I had sciatic pain, and nothing was helping. It was destroying my life!

I tried EVERYTHING. Physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic, pain medications, and muscle relaxants. Nothing worked.

Finally, as a last resort,I sought out an acupuncturist. I had never experienced acupuncture before and I didn't know what to expect, but I was desperate.

It. WORKED. And the rest is history.

Because of my own experience with sciatica, I’m passionate about helping people in the Treasure Valley with their sciatic pain (and I’m really good at it! 😉).Over the past 25 years, I’ve fine-tuned my skills in treating chronic pain (and more).One therapy alone wasn’t enough for me. Every challenging patient who walks through our doors pushes me to dive deeper and find more effective solutions.

I combine the wisdom of ancient Chinese medicine with modern diagnostic and treatment tools that help us get amazing results for patients in pain!
