I am a Nationally Board Certified Diplomate of Acupuncture, Dipl. Ac. I earned my Master’s Degree in Acupuncture at the well-respected Tai Sophia Institute in Maryland (now the Maryland University of Integrative Health), a fully accredited institution. After completing the 2,600 hours required to earn my degree in 2004, I am Nationally Board Certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Prior to earning my degree in Acupuncture, I attended and earned my Bachelor’s of Arts from University of Maryland, College Park.
I am passionate about well-being, spending time with my clients to get to the root of what ails them, and merging traditional Eastern practices with the realities of modern lifestyle. I founded Seaside Acupuncture in 2004. I have been living and practicing in Mount Pleasant with my family for 20 years.
