Compassionate professionals dedicated to your health and balance.

Having grown up in the Chicago suburb of Rolling Meadows, Illinois, and achieved my Bachelor's degree at the University of Wisconsin, Platteville, majoring in Animal Science, I had no idea that I would eventually become passionate about Chinese Medicine. For ten years, I worked in medical research for the Medical College of Wisconsin, and my research work is published. It was at that point that I believed that everything had to be proven.
Then I had taken up horse showing at a farm that had extremely expensive show horses. When the horses would go lame, the farm manager would call in an acupuncturist. At that time in my life, I thought that was the most ridiculous thing they could do without calling a veterinarian first. I had to watch and learn why. As I observed the horse being treated, it would immediately get up and run off as if there had never been pain in the first place. This was my first introduction to acupuncture.
After moving to Maryland in 1996, I knew a paramedic who was told early in his career that he needed back surgery. A friend told him about acupuncture, and for 25 years, every time he would throw his back out, he would get acupuncture and be able to touch his toes easily. I was unaware I was on a path to this wonderful career, which can provide healing without the need for pills with side effects or surgery.
Currently, I am the owner of Annapolis Doctors of Acupuncture and practice acupuncture at the McCrone Professional Building in Annapolis, between Graul's/Walgreens and Evelyn's in West Annapolis. I achieved my master’s and doctorate degrees in acupuncture at Maryland University of Integrative Health, MUIH, formerly known as Tai Sophia Institute, in Laurel, Maryland.
I also have a master's degree in Oriental Medicine, featuring Chinese herbal medicine, and do foot detox, which is an amazing clearing treatment. I also offer gift cards for friends and families.
Please schedule a visit. I do FREE fifteen-minute consultations (time permitting) on any of my modalities if you are interested or would like to learn more. I am also a provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and Optum VA, and have programs to make healing affordable if you’re not covered by insurance.
