Meet the acupuncturist

I get this question a lot from my patients - when did you decide to become an acupuncturist?

I’ve wanted to be an acupuncturist since I was 14 years old! I had been dealing with debilitating allergies and I tried acupuncture on the recommendation of a family friend. Needless to say, that appointment was life changing.

I felt such relief and something inside me said, “this is what you’re supposed to be doing.” That moment changed everything. I felt so heard and so supported in my acupuncture appointment, and I knew that I wanted to offer that to others.

When I graduated from my Master’s degree program (yup, acupuncturists all have a Master’s degree), I worked for a woman who specializes in fertility. I started seeing a lot of fertility patients and realized that I loved it. There is something so important in this work. My work and mentorship with her showed me that I could specialize and focus on reproductive health. I ended up completing more education and courses all focused on fertility and reproductive health.

When I started working more intentionally with fertility, I started to also see a lot of pregnant folks (who would have guessed!) Many of the people I had helped conceive wanted to continue acupuncture treatments to support their pregnancies and postpartum transition. It was then that I decided to move forward with a more advanced certification in maternity acupuncture, called Maternity Acupuncture Mentorship and Peer-support programs (MAMPS). This 9 month (lol) course focused on all complications, supports, and intention in maternity acupuncture. I see very few acupuncturists treating pregnant folks, so I am so happy to fill this niche and offer support to the Doylestown and greater Bucks County, PA area.

My practice is unique because I offer a personalized, compassionate approach to acupuncture. I specialize in treating fertility issues, hormonal imbalances, pregnancy symptoms, and postpartum recovery, using a holistic, integrative approach that considers your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. I believe in empowering my patients to be active participants in their health journey, providing them with education and support to make informed decisions. Whether you’re trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy discomfort, or recovering in postpartum, I’m here to guide you with care and expertise. My focus is on helping you feel fully supported and balanced at every stage of your journey.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine from the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, an ACAOM-accredited program where I completed over 2,500 hours of clinical training. In addition to my formal education, I have received specialized training in fertility support, reproductive health, and pregnancy care such as the Becoming Mama Program with Katie Altineu L.Ac. and Jane' Lyttleton’s L.Ac. advanced certification on fertility. I am also a licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac.) in PA and certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

My extensive education and hands-on experience allow me to provide effective, evidence-based treatments that address a wide range of symptoms, including hormonal imbalances, painful periods, and pregnancy-related discomforts and postpartum support.

Yes!

While I specialize in fertility, I also have experience and love treating a wide variety of other concerns. If you want to work with me, but have questions I offer a fifteen minute free consult. You can book that here.
