My passion in life is helping people achieve greater physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. As owner of Energy Matters Acupuncture & Qigong, I support others as they expand their understanding of the world to include the unseen but ever-present realm of energy. I have been a Licensed Acupuncturist since 1993 and an instructor of Dayan Qigong since 2006.

I earned my master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland, California and my bachelor’s degree from Stanford University. I am certified to teach both the 1st and 2nd set of  Dayan Qigong by Master Hiu Liu of the Wen Wu School of Martial Arts.

When I am not in the clinic or teaching, I enjoy hiking the many beautiful trails in the East Bay, reading a good novel, and smiling at the antics of the animal menagerie with whom I and my spouse share our home: two cats, a bird, a tortoise and an ex-racing greyhound.
