About Me

Natural Options Acupuncture is owned and operated by a licensed acupuncturist with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. With a background that began as a physical therapist assistant, this practice is grounded in a strong understanding of both Western rehabilitation and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Advanced training includes a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the American College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University.

Clinical experience spans both private practice and hospital-based care, with the privilege of serving military personnel at Fort Bragg, veterans at the VA Medical Center, and oncology patients through the Integrative Medicine Program at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Care focuses on treating the whole person, with experience addressing pain management, stress and mental health concerns, sleep disorders, digestive issues, and gynecological and urological conditions. Special interests include integrative nutrition and fitness, tui-na and therapeutic bodywork, Chinese herbology, meditation, and evidence-informed Traditional Chinese Medicine—bringing together Eastern wisdom and modern clinical research to support lasting health and well-being.
