Holistic Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine in Kennewick & The Tri Cities, WA.
My practice honors your unique health journey. I provide compassionate, effective, and efficient care through expert acupuncture and herbal medicine, right here in the Mid-Columbia region.
Healing Begins with Being Heard.
I provide intentional, dedicated, and unhurried care for people ready to resolve chronic conditions, restore overall health, and find real answers. New patient consultations prioritize a "Root and Branch" approach (cause and effect), where as a team, we jointly create sustainable strategies that go deeper than just your symptoms. This clinical structure is the culmination of over two decades of experience, refined to deliver the highest level of care.
After 20 years of clinical practice, I’ve designed my practice differently. Grounded in both classical theory and modern research, this approach integrates acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle counseling to provide the best that Traditional Chinese medicine has to offer.
A Personalized Approach to Healing
Good medicine takes time. It requires deep listening, an in-depth conversation about your health history, clinical observations including traditional pulse and tongue diagnosis and dedicated focus. To ensure every patient receives comprehensive, highly personalized care, I intentionally limit the number of patients I see per week.
Rather than rushing, the focus here is placed entirely on investigating root causes, refining individualized treatment plans, and partnering closely with you. This unique structure ensures you always receive deep, unhurried, one-on-one focus.
The Core Diagnostic Focus
While Chinese Medicine addresses the entire body, this clinical practice centers primarily on five specialized areas:
1. Pain Management
Stubborn pain, headaches, or injuries can completely disrupt your life, leaving you frustrated and depressed.
By blending Traditional Chinese martial arts medicine with modern orthopedic principles, I work to address the pain at its source. This rapidly eliminates pain and stiffness and accelerates healing, allowing you to return to living in comfort and confidence.
I most commonly treat: Neck and low back pain, arthritis (knees, shoulders, hands), migraines, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, hip and SI joint pain, acute sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
2. Anxiety, Depression & Stress Management
Chronic stress and anxiety can trap your body in a constant state of fight-or-flight, leaving you exhausted, irritable, and stuck.
Using multiple strategies to calm the nervous system, I treat the profound connection between mind and body so you can quiet invasive thoughts, improve sleep, improve digestion, and reclaim your life.
I most commonly treat: Anxiety and depression, chronic insomnia, irritability and sudden anger, lack of motivation, physical tension, and stress-induced digestive issues.
3. Women’s Health & Hormonal Balance
Debilitating menstrual pain, hormonal mood swings, fatigue, and related symptoms can make you feel extremely frustrated with your own body.
Combining classical East Asian gynecology with natural hormone strategies, I work to regulate your menstrual cycle, reduce pain, improve fertility, or help manage the symptoms of peri/menopause. My goal is to help you live without discomfort, restore a predictable cycle, and reclaim your physical vitality.
I frequently treat: Painful, heavy, or irregular periods; severe PMS/PMDD; endometriosis and PCOS support; perimenopause/menopause (hot flashes, night sweats); brain fog; and pregnancy and postpartum care.
4. Complex, Mysterious & Unexplained Conditions
It’s incredibly frustrating when your medical tests come back "normal," but you still feel something’s wrong and you’re left without answers.
By combining Chinese medicine with modern Functional medicine, we look at your health through an entirely different lens to find interconnected, systemic problems. This allows you to make sense of your symptoms, understand the patterns, and get a clear treatment plan on a path back to health and wellness.
I commonly treat: Chronic fatigue, unexplained symptoms, hives, and stubborn, hard-to-diagnose conditions that haven't responded to conventional care.
5. Digestive Health
You know how exhausting it is to let chronic bloating, acid reflux, or unpredictable bowel habits dictate what you can eat and how you plan your day.
By using classical Chinese internal medicine, custom herbal formulations, and traditional dietary and lifestyle principles, I address the root cause to soothe and support your digestive system. This eliminates painful or uncomfortable digestive flare-ups so you can enjoy your food and your life with peace of mind.
I commonly treat: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic bloating and gas, acid reflux and GERD, chronic constipation or diarrhea, food sensitivities, gastroparesis, and metabolic sluggishness.
Is My Practice the Right Fit for You?
Because of this focused structure, this clinic is designed specifically for individuals who are ready to engage actively in their health journey.
It’s a Great Match If:
You seek root-cause treatment for complex, stubborn, or persistent health issues.
You are ready to commit to a structured care plan tailored to your body’s unique situation and your individual lifestyle.
You value an experienced, direct, and thoughtful clinical partner in your care.
The Clinic May Not Fit If:
You want a quick, one-off drop-in treatment or a temporary bandaid for your symptoms.
You require direct insurance billing. I operate as a direct-pay practice. Insurance companies legally limit the amount of time a provider can dedicate to a patient; by remaining out-of-network, I protect your access to deep, unhurried care. I gladly provide detailed superbills for your personal insurance or HSA/FSA reimbursement.
