Being Health Questions
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am knowledgeable and passionate about acupuncture and Indigenous healing systems, but you are an expert on your life! Together, we will work in partnership to establish and move towards your physical, emotional and spiritual goals.
Do you have experience working with any specific types of patients?
Over the past 15 years, I have worked in a variety of clinical settings and treated patients from every demographic. I also pay specific attention to how racism, patriarchy and other collective disharmonies have an impact on the nervous systems on women and people of color.
What do you find most interesting about Being Health's integrated care model?
We are in a unique moment in history where healing philosophies from all over the world can be in conversation with one another. Being Health is a model for where I believe medicine should be heading—a place where practitioners of various worldviews and perspectives can collaborate in the best interests of the patient. This allows for patients to show up authentically as their full selves, in a space that welcomes body, mind and spirit to be considered in treatment planning and care.
What's the most memorable trip you've ever taken?
One of my most memorable experiences was whitewater rafting on the Hudson River in upstate New York. It's incredible to witness the grandeur of the wild, on this same river that graces our city’s borders.
