Later, she combined these interests into a community health framework and has experience working in public health and policy settings as well as volunteered in Medical Missions to provide access to medical care in remote provinces of the Philippines.

Each person is a unique individual and treatments through Chinese medicine are highly individualized. Through Chinese medicine, her hope is to help you discover and utilize the tools available to help you maintain balance and vitality within.
