My Path Into Medicine

Here’s a little bit more about myself and what brought me to Chinese Medicine.

How Did You Get Into Acupuncture?

A trifecta of stubbornness, weird experiences, and never-ending curiosity.

As a kid, I grew up playing multiple sports year-round and absolutely loved it. By the time I reached the collegiate level, however, injuries and health concerns began to pile up. We are not usually taught from a young age how to care for our bodies or recognize when something is no longer sustainable. I had pushed mine for years without truly supporting it day to day, and by eighteen it caught up with me in the form of mono, depression, anxiety, severe acne, and Achilles tendinitis.

I wasn’t particularly interested in accepting that combination of drama as inevitable. Curious and intensely intellectual at heart, I spent much of my time outside of class researching and looking for answers. That exploration led me everywhere from nutrition to Reiki, Ayurveda, and other healing traditions.

Shortly after my second year of college, I spent a month in Cusco, Peru, where I had an experience that fundamentally shifted how I viewed my life, relationships, history, and future direction. After returning, I left college to complete a nine-month audio engineering program in Nashville, Tennessee. When it ended, instead of returning to undergrad, I drove straight to New York City.

Learning Beyond Quick Fixes

I spent eight years in NYC, moving from waitress to photographer’s assistant to working at a record label, while completing my graduate training in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Pacific College.

New York offered an incredible clinical foundation. I treated people from all walks of life and had the opportunity to work within a fast-paced and successful acupuncture practice, WTHN, where I gained experience supporting a wide range of complex concerns.

Becoming an acupuncturist ultimately felt like the natural intersection of my curiosity, intuition, and genuine love for working with people. I go home every day grateful to support my community while continuing to learn something new in return.

Why Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine honors the physical body while also recognizing the role emotional health and personal resilience play in recovery. In this system, physical symptoms, emotional stressors, and a person’s sense of balance are not separate experiences but interconnected influences on health.

When answers are not straightforward — which is often the case with fertility challenges, chronic pain, or long-standing stress patterns — this perspective allows space for thoughtful problem-solving while remaining grounded in a clear and methodical treatment approach.

My training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, combined with advanced reproductive medicine education as a Fellow of the Acupuncture and TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine (FABORM), allows me to approach care through both a classical and evidence-informed lens. Treatment plans draw from acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle support alongside current research and collaboration with medical providers when appropriate.

In many ways, this approach honors the depth and wisdom of traditional medicine while incorporating the most up-to-date understanding of physiology and patient care.

How Did You End Up in Dallas?

I am originally from Dallas and lived here for ten years before spending the rest of my childhood in Southern California. When I eventually grew out of NYC, returning to Dallas felt like the right next chapter. I still have family here, and there was clear opportunity to expand access to Chinese Medicine in an area where relatively few practitioners are available.

It has been incredibly meaningful to build a practice here and share the medicine I love while helping clients feel empowered to support their health in sustainable ways.

Why Mama’s?

I use “Mama” as a term of endearment with many of my friends. The word carries warmth, gratitude, and a sense of care, and I wanted the clinic name to reflect that feeling. Ultimately, I want Mama’s to feel like a helping hand: a space where people can receive treatment, ask questions, pick up herbs or supportive supplements, and feel cared for in both urgent and everyday moments.

My Approach to Care

Many people arrive feeling frustrated after trying multiple approaches without lasting answers. My role is to slow things down, listen carefully, and use Traditional Chinese Medicine as a framework for understanding what the body may be communicating.

Care may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, or practical lifestyle adjustments, always tailored to what feels realistic and supportive for each individual. I value collaborative care and often work alongside physicians, physical therapists, and other healthcare providers when appropriate.

My goal is not simply symptom relief, but helping patients better understand their bodies so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.

What Is Your Style as an Acupuncturist?

I am a gentle needler by nature, with much of my intuitive skill coming from years of palpation, listening, learning, experiencing, and researching. I enjoy sharing what I am doing during treatment so clients understand the process and the reasoning behind it.

There is no magic involved — it is science, intention, and more than two thousand years of Chinese medical theory and clinical practice working together.
