In my practice…

I take a Metaphysical Approach to Holistic Care

  • East Asian Medicine utilizes diverse modalities including acupuncture and moxibustion, herbal medicine, bodywork, movement, and nutritional therapy to treat acute and chronic ailments.

    After thousands of years of inquiry, exploration, and documentation, it has been instrumental to the field of medicine and medical research, honoring both the art and science of healing and health preservation.

  • The history of astrology can be traced back thousands of years. The earliest known records come from Mesopotamia and Egypt around the 3rd millennium BC. Since then, societies around the world have developed their own unique systems based on cosmological and philosophical beliefs.

    Early astrologers would track the movement of the planets through the ecliptic plane, which is the apparent path of the Sun through the constellations. Their observations were essential to the development of astronomy, astrology, and the creation of calendrical systems.

    The foundation of acupuncture & Chinese Medicine shares similar philosophical and theoretical roots with astrology, and their applications are profoundly interconnected.

  • Christian weaves the two disciplines, along with breathwork, to help people come home to themselves and reclaim their celestial blueprint through the wisdom of the body and the stars

    When utilized together, this approach creates space for a nuanced and holistic approach, while providing careful consideration to the various factors that can influence people over their lifetime, including intergenerational trauma, chronic pain, environmental injustice, chemical exposure, racism, addiction, stress, and anxiety.
