A few years ago, I was scared, anxious and depressed
Let me tell you a little bit about me. A few years ago I was married and on my way to medical school. I had graduated from Colorado College with a Bachelor of Arts in English / Creative Writing in 2000. I was passionate about writing (still am) but I also knew that I wanted to be a doctor, so I began taking pre-med classes at the University of Colorado. Meanwhile, I was experiencing horrid monthly migraines with my cycle, cramps that had me doubled over on the ground, pale as a sheet and vomiting from the pain, increasing depression and anxiety that was becoming harder and harder to cope with (sometimes I couldn’t leave the house), and to top it all off I was questioning my marriage and career path. In short, I can totally understand where you’re coming from. If you’ve ever struggled with being a woman and all that it entails, believe me, I get it.
Thank goodness for my mom and Chinese medicine
I will always be thankful for the day my mom told me she made the decision to go to Chinese medical school, and I’m even more thankful that she encouraged me to try it. I’ll never forget my first acupuncture treatment from Dr. Cheng. I remember walking out to my car after the session feeling like I had never felt before. My cramps and anxiety were gone, and a tremendous weight had been lifted from my body. After years of frustration with western medical doctors and their limited offerings of Advil and birth control as solutions to my problems, this seemed like nothing short of a miracle. I felt an instant clarity and lightness. I knew this was the kind of medicine I had been looking for. Six weeks later I was enrolled at the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine with my mom.
I came out on the other side, all in one piece, feeling better than ever
My healing journey has consisted of acupuncture and Chinese herbs, discovering my food intolerances, changing my diet, divorce, good old fashioned therapy, a number of spectacular self-help/spirituality books, and some serious soul searching. I am elated to report that I have come out on the other side all in one piece, feeling better than I’ve ever felt before.
Now I love my life
I no longer suffer from migraines, anxiety or depression. My cramps are a bazillion times more manageable and sometimes not there at all. I have a successful career and man that I love, and I am the proud mother of four wonderful fur-people (two cats, two dogs). I feel unbelievably grateful to be surrounded with such blessings everyday.
Why I decided to specialize in women’s health & nutrition
I strongly believe that no woman should have to suffer through a period, pregnancy, menopause or any other stage related to a woman’s life. Nothing brings me greater fulfillment than helping women recover their feminine power and feel like their best self. I am overjoyed that I have been able to help so many women overcome similar challenges that I have experienced in my life.
In my years of clinical experience as an acupuncturist, I have found that proper nutrition is the key to solving many imbalances in the body. Which is why I decided to create a comprehensive, online program that is designed to educate and empower you to live a sustainable healthy lifestyle — from which I have seen people experience healing just as powerfully, if not more so, than receiving acupuncture treatments. And, of course, doing both is extra-fantastic! 
You can feel better, too
If you are suffering right now, I want you to know that change is possible. Actually, as my mom would say, not only is change possible, it is the only thing you can count on! Whatever obstacle or challenge you are experiencing right now, I can assure you, it will pass. If you’d like it to pass sooner than later, stick with me and I’ll teach you everything I know.
