About Me.
Welcome! I am blessed to have grown up here in Alaska, in the Valley. With nature as my biggest teacher I learned to observe the natural rhythms of the seasons. In Five Element Acupuncture these natural cycles are reflected in our body, mind, and spirit. Chinese Medicine is a rich and deep medicine addressing illnesses of all types, chronic, acute, spiritual, and psychological.
A brief introduction to my journey. I have spent the past 10 years searching, exhausting every method for healing. I was sick beyond measure. I felt myself slipping away. I had parasites in my brain, lymph, all the way to my bowels, chronic Lyme, chronic autoimmune diseases, and a soup of viruses. The chronic illness became my life, my story. I was obsessed with “fixing” myself. I traveled the world, having state of the art therapies, and took every known supplement. It was not until I unearthed the deep loss in my Heart that I was able to surrender to what is, and heal. I no longer sought to heal myself. I had awoken to the healing Mercy that existed in me all along. Day by day, and with the help of some amazing mentors, my spirit was gently lifted from the state of resistance that had become my story. Resistance is where we separate from our true self. This separation creates a void. In this void, we grow further and further from our higher self. From our innate and divine light. Much of our trauma and the patterns we’ve built in order to survive, lives here. In separation.
Chinese medicine, and specifically Five Element Acupuncture, can serve as a powerful catalyst in addressing disharmonies by restoring balance amongst the organ systems and awakening the spirit.
