Is this what you’re navigating?

“I’M IN PAIN AND IT’S NOT GETTING BETTER.”

Individualized acupuncture supports relief from persistent pain, muscular tension, sleep changes, and related sinus concerns by helping the body regulate more effectively.

“MY HORMONES OR CYCLES FEEL OUT OF BALANCE.”

Acupuncture supports fertility, cycle changes—including irregular, absent, returning, or gender-affirming hormone shifts—and symptoms connected to perimenopause or menopause through personalized, collaborative care.

“I WANT TO SUPPORT MY SKIN MORE INTENTIONALLY.”

Cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling, and nanoneedling support circulation, collagen renewal, and overall skin health through East Asian herbal skincare and regulated techniques provided by a Licensed Acupuncturist.

SHE / HER

I’m a Licensed Acupuncturist practicing in Chicago. My work integrates classical East Asian medicine with a steady, modern clinical approach.

Care is grounded in Health at Every Size principles and inclusive practice. Weight, identity, gender expression, and life stage are never treated as barriers to high-quality care.

My goal is simple: to help you feel more at ease in your body through care that is thoughtful, precise, and attuned.
