Since 2008 I have been treating clients in Boston seeking a more natural approach to their health and injuries as well as complimentary care to their western treatment. Being centrally located in a city and in proximity to some of the top hospitals and sports venues, the clients that I have treated have shaped my specializations which include pre and post surgical treatment, acute injuries - sprains, fractures and general neck, upper back and shoulder discomfort and pain.

The clinic also provides acupuncture detox for cancer patients undergoing western treatment and conditions related to poor digestion, anxiety, insomnia and everyday STRESS. Many of my clients are always on the go. Japanese style acupuncture is very gentle and very nourishing for the nervous and adrenal system. And this, in conjunction with herbal medicine is a dynamic pairing for health and city living.

Some clients take their hour on the table to relax, let go and be taken care of. My clinic provides that too. It is a beautiful space, with good energy in a wonderful city.

I am Licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Medicine 2008 and Nationally certified by the NCCAOM 2026. My education includes a seven year apprenticeship in Japanese style acupuncture with Kiiko Matsumoto L.Ac. and three years study in Chinese Medical Tuina with Bill Helm, AOBTA. This advanced training formed the foundations of how I approach, think about and treat medical conditions in the body. The energetic approach to conditions affecting the body have been influenced by the teachings of Sergio Magana, a traditional healer, teacher of indigenous methods of healing and author in Mexico and Bob Vetter, cultural anthropologist and teacher of Curanderismo, the traditional healing methods from South America.

The clinic does not participate with insurance providers because of my specialization and the different techniques that I use. Treatment plans are determined solely by clinical judgment and patient need, ensuring the most effective and efficient care possible. Most clients notice measurable improvement within three to six sessions, though some may require up to twelve to achieve lasting results.

I welcome new and former clients and look forward to sharing the benefits of this remarkable, time-honored medicine.
