I grew up in Southern Vietnam, where Vietnamese and Chinese herbal medicine and dietetics were essential to her upbringing. But it wasn’t until my older daughter was diagnosed with autism that I became interested in learning Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.

I’d like to share a little bit about myself if you’re interested. Growing up, I competed in soccer, hacky sack, and martial arts, so I understand how important it is to keep our bodies strong and our muscles supple. I’ve been an avid rock climber indoors and outdoors for 18 years, teaching yoga for 14 years, and treating injuries and chronic pain for over 30 years using Shaolin martial arts channels and fascial techniques I learned from my master, Thay An (Teacher An).
I’m forever grateful for Thay An & Thay Kim, Steven Woodley, Sean Si, Julie Zhu, Nick Hancock, Robyn Sodders, Aaron Lee, Jamie Hampton, Josh Lerner, and many more, who have taught me almost everything I know. My father, who passed away, advised me from a young age that
>when I become a doctor, I should treat patients from the heart and never nurture illness.
You wouldn’t believe how many times my dad went to see a doctor and came home with medication that had their package removed, so he had to come back week after week for a refill instead of buying it directly from the pharmacy. My mission is to get you well and send you back out to the world of joy, family, and friends. Please don’t go and party too hard, though.
As much as I love seeing you seven days a week (I really do!), I take much-needed time off Saturday and Sunday to be with my young daughters (9yo Sydney and 4yo Emily). They grow up too fast! I love food and coffee very much.
I specialize in pelvic health, neuropathy, pain and aches during pregnancy, and chronic fatigue.
