I am a doctor of acupuncture and practitioner of Chinese Medicine, as well as a clinical hypnotist, intuitive eating counselor, certified life and health coach, and business owner. For decades, I have helped others reconnect with their bodies, their inner wisdom, and the lives they truly want to live through Chinese medicine, mind-body practices, and other natural and complementary approaches.

I am also a mother of twins who are now young adults, an empty nester, and a post-menopausal woman living through my own Second Spring.

I find myself in a season of asking deeper questions about who I really am, what I truly want, and how I want to spend the rest of my life.

I have followed many of the traditional, safe paths in life, and they have given me tremendous stability, success, and gratitude. At the same time, I recognize that I have sometimes limited or quieted parts of myself that are now ready to feel more alive, awake, creative, joyful, and purposeful.

For me, this chapter is very much about coming home to myself—back to my body, my values, my inner knowing, and the most authentic essence of who I am.

It is about listening more closely to what feels true, letting go of what no longer fits, and giving myself permission to live with greater freedom, vitality, connection, and joy—unapologetically.

My own journey has deepened my passion for helping other women do the same.

I believe midlife is not a season of becoming less, but an invitation to return to ourselves more fully—to honor who we have been, awaken to who we are becoming, and create a Second Spring rooted in peace, power, and purpose.
