The Expert Behind the Art

“My mission is to bridge the gap between ancient healing wisdom and modern athletic recovery.”

I’ve always believed that the best results happen where tradition meets science. As a Master of Science in Chinese Medicine from the Pacific College of Health and Science and a CAMTC-Certified Massage Therapist (License #32090), I’ve spent over 13,000 hours in clinical practice and professional bodywork.

That journey includes more than 1,000 hours of intensive clinical rotations, which gave me a deep, diagnostic understanding of how the body moves, heals, and stays in balance. It’s that background that allows me to offer something far beyond a standard relaxation massage.

My approach is rooted in TCM-informed care, which means I’m looking for the structural and energetic imbalances that cause chronic pain or hold you back from your best performance. Whether you’re a professional athlete in Del Mar or a Solana Beach local dealing with "tech neck," I use clinical precision and meridian mapping to get to the root of the issue, not just mask the symptoms.

By blending Tui Na, orthopedic assessment, and clinical Deep Tissue (myofascial release), I’m here to help the North County community move better and stay active longer. As a recognized healthcare provider in California, I also accept HSA/FSA cards, making high-level therapeutic care an easy part of your long-term wellness routine.
