I’ve been immersed in healing work for over 20 years — as a practitioner, teacher, and community builder. I trained in Shiatsu therapy (2002) and Acupuncture (2013), graduating both with high honours. For 12 years I co-owned Six Degrees, the first community acupuncture clinic in Canada.

My focus is on supporting the body’s natural rhythms, facilitate healing and help people reconnect to themselves and the world — especially when navigating burnout, grief, chronic stress, illness or transitions. My continuing studies include acupuncture for emotional health and Blood Magic, as well as a 4-year program in Leadership and Radical Relating that informs my collaborative approach, empathy and advocacy. I have practiced Vipassana and Mindfulness for over 15 years.

I’m a Registered Acupuncturist with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO) and offer direct billing for many insurance plans.

I currently practice at Aurum Medicine & Wellness Clinic in Toronto, where I collaborate with a team of integrative practitioners to offer care that is respectful, holistic, and real.

When I am not working with clients and community, I meditate, run around parenting 2 kiddos, meet up with friends and grapple with how it can be that the world is so marvellous, yet still so devastatingly cruel. I generally swim in the deep end, and come up to shallow waters often enough to touch the light.

Patterns will emerge as you share what brings you in.

I apply principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to observe and assess branches of disharmony, detecting root origins and treating your concerns.

My services come with as much information as you desire, a commitment to investigating complexity and a collaborative treatment plan.

I am skilled, intuitive and offer effective treatments from a medicine system that has been healing people for the past 2800 years.

Customized Care

For your first appointment you can expect a thorough intake, a consultation for your concerns and a tailored-to-you treatment.

Follow-up sessions, along with life habit suggestions for food, movement and/or meditation are often recommended.

Once disharmony is resolved, maintenance & prevention is once a month, or as often as you like.

Extraordinary medicine occurs as we work together for your freedom from suffering.

You are the expert of you.
