Acupuncture, an evidence-based ancient Chinese healing practice, stimulates specific points on the body to promote natural healing, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Proven effective for both acute and chronic pain—including back pain, migraines, and arthritis—it also supports stress relief, better sleep, immune health, digestion, hormone balance, and energy levels. This holistic, drug-free approach enhances overall well-being.
Functional medicine is a science-based, patient-centered approach that targets the root causes of disease rather than just symptoms. By considering genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, it combines conventional medicine with evidence-based therapies like nutrition and stress management. Ideal for chronic conditions such as autoimmune disorders and digestive issues, this holistic approach promotes long-term wellness.
Health and performance coaching optimizes well-being, energy, and productivity through personalized strategies in nutrition, fitness, stress management, and mindset. Coaches help identify obstacles, create action plans, and provide accountability for lasting success, empowering individuals to achieve their full potential and lead a balanced, high-performing life.

With over 15 years of experience in acupuncture and integrative medicine, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals achieve better health and well-being. My journey began with thousands of clinical hours at Berkeley AIMC Community Clinic, West Berkeley Family Practice, and Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, where I treated a wide variety of health conditions. From smoking cessation and fertility to cancer care, I’ve had the privilege of supporting patients through some of life’s most challenging moments.
I’ve been fortunate to study under some of the most renowned acupuncturists in the world, learning from masters of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and American traditions. Their teachings have profoundly shaped my understanding of medicine and instilled in me a deep respect for the wisdom and nuance each tradition brings to the art of healing.

Vitamin D has become one of those strange topics in medicine where the conversation can quickly become polarized.
On one side, you’ll hear claims that nearly everyone should be taking large amounts of vitamin D and that higher vitamin D levels can prevent everything from autoimmune disease to cancer.
For decades, we’ve been told that weight loss is essentially a math problem:
Eat fewer calories. Burn more calories. Lose weight.
And when that doesn’t work long-term, the assumption is often that the person didn’t count carefully enough, ate too much, or simply lacked willpower.
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have transformed the way we understand metabolism. Instead of seeing a single blood sugar value during a lab visit, you can now watch how your body responds to meals, exercise, sleep, stress, and everyday life.
Your bones are made of two major components: minerals (primarily calcium and phosphorus) that provide strength, and collagen, a protein that provides flexibility and resilience. Together, they create bones that are both strong and resistant to fracture.
You also don’t have to believe in gravity for gravity to work.
Same with digestion, hormones, your stress response, or your phone battery mysteriously dying
at 12%.
If you’ve ever been told to “just relax,” “think positive,” or “stop overthinking,” you already know how frustrating that advice can be.
Especially if you’re competent. Successful. Capable. Holding it all together.
Many of the patients I see in Marin County are high-functioning professionals, parents, and athletes. On paper, everything looks fine. But internally? There’s tension. Restlessness. Sleep that isn’t restorative. A nervous system that won’t fully power down.
