Meet the Team

From an early age, I faced health challenges that Western medicine couldn’t fully resolve. It was through the discovery of holistic medicine and acupuncture that I was able to transform my own health, igniting a passion for these healing arts that has shaped my life’s work. This personal journey led me to pursue formal education, earning a Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University and a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Human Sciences. These rigorous programs deepened my understanding of ancient healing traditions and fueled my commitment to lifelong learning and integrative care.

As the first acupuncturist in Utah to sit for the Acupuncture and TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine, becoming a fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) was a pivotal moment in my career. It affirmed my dedication to supporting women through some of their most significant life transitions—whether it be puberty, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or menopause.

My favorite part of what I do is witnessing the profound transformations that occur when a person embraces the necessary changes and commits to their healing journey. I believe that true healing requires a partnership between practitioner and client, where both bring their full selves to the process. It brings me the greatest joy when a client tells me they’ve received a positive pregnancy test after struggling for years, even after trying more invasive treatments to conceive. These moments are a testament to the power of holistic medicine and the resilience of the human spirit.

My passion for women’s health is driven by the belief that every woman deserves personalized, compassionate care that addresses her unique needs and goals. Over the past 16 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with countless women, helping them navigate their health journeys with a blend of ancient wisdom and modern science. At the heart of my therapeutic approach is a commitment to uncovering the root causes of health challenges, rather than simply addressing symptoms. I see my role as not just a practitioner, but as a guide, empowering my patients with the knowledge and tools they need to take control of their health.

In my practice, I integrate a variety of modalities—acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition, and mind-body techniques—tailoring each treatment plan to the individual. I believe that healing is a collaborative process, one that requires deep listening, honoring my patients’ experiences, and respecting their intuition. This personalized approach allows me to create holistic treatment plans that not only address physical symptoms but also promote emotional and spiritual well-being.

Running my clinic, Awaken and Bloom, in Salt Lake City has been more than just a professional endeavor—it’s a manifestation of my vision to create a sanctuary where women can feel supported, nurtured, and empowered. Here, I’ve built a space that reflects my core values of accessibility, patient-centric care, and fostering growth, ensuring that every patient feels heard, understood, and cared for.

My journey in holistic health has been one of constant evolution, guided by my passion for helping women lead healthier, more balanced lives. I’m driven by the desire to make a meaningful impact on my patients’ lives, helping them navigate life’s transitions with confidence and grace. I am deeply committed to continuing this work with integrity, compassion, and dedication.
