I received my first acupuncture treatment when I was 16 years old.  I had recently been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Western medicine was proving no help in offering effective treatment.  My doctor’s solution to my illness, despite his brilliance, was medication and I was promptly put on an antidepressant. My physical symptoms remained and even got worse over the coming months. My lacrosse coach suggested I see an acupuncturist as I was finding no relief from Western treatments.  I was skeptical, but at this point willing to try anything.  After a short course of treatment I made a 90% recovery and I was hooked.  Since that time Eastern medicine has been a tool I have used to keep myself healthy. It was a natural evolution for me to study and then practice this ancient medicine.  I am passionate about what I do because I know how effective this medicine can be in not only healing the body, but shaping or reshaping lives.
