I hold a Master of Science degree in Acupuncture through Bastyr University. Bastyr's program includes training in western sciences as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have also received
certification in Chinese Herbal Medicine through Bastyr University.
I am nationally and state certified to practice acupuncture (Washington State license number AC2144).
I have also been trained in Japanese Acupuncture techniques, particularly the methods of Doctor Yoshio Manaka.
In order to obtain licensure in Washington State, an acupuncturist must first complete both clinical
and academic training through a recognized acupuncture program. The progam at Bastyr University is taught by Doctors
of Oriental Medicine from China and Licensed Acupuncturists from the United States. In addition to the required education
in acupuncture, I have completed a certified program in Chinese Herbal Medicine. Portions of my training were completed in
Shuguang Hospital in Shanghai, China.
I have received extensive training in Tuina (Chinese Therapeutic Massage, see other pages on this site
for more information), Swedish, and Deep Tissue massage through Bastyr and through Seattle's Brenneke School of Massage.
I have been licensed to practice massage by the state of Washington since 2000.
Through my clinical and didactic education, I have had experience in treating a wide range of disorders
and diseases using minimally invasive, holistic techniques. My treatments are designed to treat the individual as a whole,
not just the symptom which presents itself.
