Welcome. I am glad you are here.

I am a Doctor of Acupuncture practicing in Providence, Rhode Island. My practice is rooted in the Hari method of Japanese Meridian Therapy, a gentle form of acupuncture that listens closely to your body as it changes from moment to moment, week to week, and year to year. Rather than following a fixed protocol, my treatments are guided by what I feel through the gentle palpation of your pulse, abdomen, and meridian system, allowing me to design your care to be precise, responsive, and deeply individualized.

Japanese Meridian Therapy uses very fine needles and the warming herb moxa (refined Artemisia Princeps or japanese mugwort) to regulate the meridian system - an energetic network articulated by traditional Chinese medicine - to encourage the body back toward a state of balance. These tools are subtle but powerful, helping to release tension, improve circulation, and support the nervous system in settling and restoring itself.

In Japan, this style of acupuncture is considered a form of preventive medicine—something people use not only when the body hurts, but to stay well, resilient, and in tune with their bodies. It can be helpful for chronic headaches, pain, digestive concerns, fatigue, emotional stress, and many other patterns of imbalance.

At the heart of this medicine is a simple truth: your body is always trying to heal. The role of the practitioner is to notice where things have become stuck or strained and gently guide your system back toward its own natural state of healing. My treatments are quiet, careful, and collaborative—an invitation for your body to find its way home again.

I see patients at my office on the east side of Providence. Appointments are typically 75 minutes and are $100. While I encourage regular visits for the cumulative benefits of this work, I also welcome patients for acute concerns when something specific arises.
