Your practitioner
“My practice incorporates a wide range of modalities because I have a passion for healing and for learning. I bring together healing methods that are Eastern and Western, traditional and cutting edge, physical and energetic, to support each patient in their personal quest for better health and vitality. As a licensed acupuncturist, I provide acupuncture, cupping, and moxibustion. As a chiropractor, my services include craniosacral therapy, visceral and neural manipulation, and brain-based therapies and exercises. I have studied functional medicine, as well as both eastern and western nutrition and herbology, and can provide nutritional counseling as well as specific herbal and supplement recommendations. Everything I practice is united by a common philosophy: respecting and supporting the body's ability to heal itself. My educational background includes a Doctor of Chiropractic and a Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Southern California University of Health Sciences. I am a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), and hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from New York University. I hold a certification in BioIndividual Nutrition and trained extensively in Visceral Manipulation and Neural Manipulation with the Barral Institute, and in CranioSacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute and the Rolf Institute. I live in Manhattan Beach with my husband and our 18 year old son. Nothing has inspired me to learn as much as our son's Autism diagnosis, and the tremendous amount of progress he has made through the help of so many people and healing modalities.”
