My approach

As a licensed acupuncturist & herbalist, I utilize the lens and modalities of Chinese Medicine (CM) to formulate individualized treatments that honor your unique constitution, and directly address your health concerns and goals.

I see one patient at a time, a departure from the typical healthcare model of juggling multiple patients hourly. This distinction allows me to remain fully focused and present with you throughout every aspect of your treatment experience, ensuring personalized care and a more meaningful opportunity for connection.

My treatment philosophy is firmly rooted in the understanding that our physiological wellbeing is intrinsically connected to our mental and emotional health, and that our bodies hold an innate capacity to heal when resourced appropriately. I believe that healthcare should be a holistic experience, one that leaves you feeling genuinely welcomed, fully supported, and above all else, truly cared for.

  • L.N.

    “I've been treated by a lot of practitioners. Emily is by far the most caring, nurturing and intuitive. You step into a room with her and feel like you're being truly seen, heard and hugged. The release and relief I felt after our acupuncture session was so valuable and supportive. When you see Emily you won't want to see anyone else."

  • V.K.

    “I am so grateful for all the guidance and healing Emily provided, and most of all for bringing me back to feeling like myself again — a new, more focused and relaxed me.”

  • C.P.

    “Emily is the kind of practitioner I hope treats me to the end of my days as she will sit in anything with you. She evokes an ease and comfort in the treatment room while paying close attention to detail that simply is not offered by most practitioners. She is a breadth of knowledge and will make you feel right at home.”

  • K.K.

    “What a gift to find such a caring, genuine, intelligent, and intuitive practitioner who provides unconditional support for me and my family members”

  • W.F.

    “Emily’s impact on my life is hard to put into words. I came to her during a time of my life filled with a lot of confusion and change. Her ability to listen to me, ask heartfelt questions, and exemplify her healing mastery offered me a safe space to navigate the challenges in my life at that time. I am forever grateful for her influence and am inspired to treat others with the same patience she offered me!”
