I began my study of Chinese medicine in 2000, and my clinical practice in 2006. I practiced community acupuncture for 13 years at Worksong Chinese Medicine in Greenpoint, alongside maintaining a private practice.

Before graduating with my Master of Oriental Medicine degree from the New England School of Acupuncture in 2008, I majored in painting at Vassar College, and also received a certificate of culinary arts from the Natural Gourmet Institute. My mentors within the field of Chinese medicine were Lonny Jarrett and Paul Fraser, and in 2009 I became certified as a Pangu Shengong qigong instructor.

My most recent projects include radionics (distance healing) and the pendulum healing techniques of Raymon Grace, as taught by Federico Marincola. I'm also an enthusiastic student of Neville Goddard's teachings on mindset and manifestation.
