My Philosophy
Even though I've been in the field for more than 35 years, I'm committed to continuing education in order to bring the newest and most effective techniques to my patients.
I enjoy working with my patients very much and using the most effective skills possible to treat their ailments.
Outside of acupuncture, I love flamenco dancing, which I've been doing for over five years. I also enjoy fashion and design.
I can't wait to meet you and help you feel more healthy.
