My interest in health goes back to early childhood, when I wanted to be a nurse. After being on the responsive side of healthcare, I realized I wanted to have a more “hands on” role in preventative care by helping clients with stress relief and self-care. In 2010, I studied Chakra Balancing at The Braided Way Healing Arts. It enhanced my practice into having a more “wholistic” approach, as I was able to not only work with the muscles, but also connect to mind-energy-body. Practicing energy work is what I gravitate towards and I’m thrilled to share it with my clients. Furthermore, in 2014, I started studying with a consciousness teacher to delve deeper into self discovery. My practice is ever-expanding, evolving, as is my own personal growth and what I offer to the world.

Studying Chinese Medicine gave me the tools to help people live a better life. I follow the same practices on myself that I recommend to my patients. I listen to my patients and try to help them with whatever is bothering them. I completed my undergraduate studies at Xavier University of New Orleans. I have a Masters in traditional Chinese medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine ( PCOM) Chicago. I later went on to complete my Doctorate in Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine San Diego.
