I have been enthusiastically and passionately involved in the healthcare field for over 30 years and graduated from the National College of Natural Medicine (now known as National University of Natural Medicine) in Portland, Oregon with High Honors. I am a nationally certified (NCCAOM) Diplomate of Acupuncture and am licensed by the Oregon Medical Board. In addition to acupuncture, I have extensive training and experience with Western and Chinese herbal medicine, as well as nutrition and dietary counseling.
Being dedicated to delivering the finest possible healthcare to my patients, I continue to study, train and find new ways of approaching complex health issues. My approach and techniques are very gentle yet results-oriented. I spend the time needed to fully listen to my patients, so that we can get to the heart of each person’s health issues. In addition to acupuncture, I may also bring in other methods such as moxibustion, cupping, nutritional advice or herbal medicine if this will further enhance the patient’s healing process.
Kiiko Matsumoto Style Japanese Acupuncturist
I practice Japanese acupuncture and am trained and certified in the tradition of Kiiko Matsumoto (KMS Acupuncture). In addition to training with Kiiko herself, I have also trained extensively with Monika Kobylecka, Kiiko’s protégé & co-author.
I am also strongly influenced by other teachers within this same lineage, notably Tsuyoshi Shimamura and Masaaki Nakano. I am extremely grateful to all of my teachers.
When I am not treating patients, studying or training; I enjoy being in the mountains or near the ocean. I love bird-watching, hiking, taking long walks with my husband, gardening, and talking with cats and dogs.
I look forward to meeting you!
