In addition to her private practice, she received privileges at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where she treats young patients and is a clinic supervisor for the CHLA-YSU Pediatric Acupuncture Program.
Her current practice was shaped by meeting renowned Japanese practitioner Kiiko Matsumoto in 2004 and learning this master’s unique style – an interactive and practical approach to acupuncture, something that a patient doesn’t have to believe is working; they can feel it working right during the treatment.
