State License for Acupuncture

Ohio State Medical Board License for Acupuncture #65.000241 

Reiki Master/Teacher

I have been practicing Reiki since early 2006 and received my Reiki Master/Teacher certification in November of 2006.  I enjoy the balancing effect and must admit it was the catalyst that brought me to acupuncture. 

Acupuncture without Borders Member

I have taken the Acupuncture without Borders (AWB) training to utilize the NADA protocol for trauma and addiction. Currently I am working with another acupuncturist to set up a free monthly clinic for first responders and veterans. If you would like additional information regarding this, please check out the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TWPOhio or the website at www.TWPOhio.com for more information. The veteran's clinic was put on hold due to covid and we have not returned to these efforts at this time.

Certified Raindrop Techniques Practioner

This Certification was through the Center of Aromatherapy Research and Education. It was a CEU course that I took in 2006. It was a part of an aromatherapy course including chemistry of essential oils, biblical oils of the bible and their uses, vitaflex techniques, raindrop therapy I and II, and emotional release techniques with essential oils.

Raindrop Therapy is a technique that uses essential oils to promote balance and wellness in the body. The technique involves applying essential oils to the feet and then dropping them onto the spine in a raindrop-like fashion. The technique was created by D. Gary Young, the founder of Young Living Essential Oils. It's based on Young's studies with a Lakota medicine man and other techniques he studied. The technique typically uses nine essential oils with antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Some common oils used include basil, cypress, marjoram, and oregano.

About Me

At InnerChi Acupuncture, my work is rooted in the belief that healing is both a physical and energetic journey. I am a wellness practitioner, teacher, and mentor who integrates multiple healing modalities to support the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. My approach blends classical Eastern medicine with intuitive, modern therapeutic techniques, creating a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing.

InnerChi is more than a treatment space. It is a sanctuary for transformation, education, and community — a place where ancient wisdom meets contemporary care.

My Philosophy

Healing is never one‑dimensional. Every symptom has a story, every imbalance has a root, and every person carries a unique energetic signature. My work honors that individuality.

I combine:

• Traditional Chinese Medicine

• Korean facial rejuvenation techniques

• Energetic therapies

• Somatic awareness

• Intuitive guidance

to create treatments that are both clinically effective and deeply restorative.

My goal is simple:
To help you feel better, look brighter, and live more connected to your own inner chi.

Modalities I Practice

Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine

I use acupuncture, meridian therapy, moxa, cupping, tui na, gua sha, and Chinese dietary therapy support to address:

• Pain

• Stress

• Digestive imbalance

• Hormonal concerns

• Sleep issues

• Emotional regulation

• Chronic conditions

Each treatment is customized to your constitution, lifestyle, and energetic needs.

Korean Facial Acupuncture & Rejuvenation

A signature offering at InnerChi, this method blends:

• Ultra‑fine facial acupuncture

• Facial cupping

• Gua sha sculpting

• Micro‑needling

to lift, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin naturally.
It supports collagen production, reduces fine lines, improves tone, and harmonizes facial qi.

Energy Work & Intuitive Healing

My background in Reiki, crystal therapy, moonology, and intuitive energy work allows me to support clients on deeper levels. These sessions help:

• Clear stagnation

• Release emotional blocks

• Restore energetic flow

Many clients describe these treatments as grounding, clarifying, and transformative.

Stone Medicine & Light Therapy

I incorporate ancient stone medicine principles and modern light therapy to enhance healing outcomes. These tools help regulate inflammation, support tissue repair, and shift emotional patterns held in the body.

Cupping, Gua Sha & Manual Therapies

These hands‑on modalities improve circulation, release muscular tension, and support detoxification. They are often integrated into acupuncture sessions for amplified results.

Teaching, Mentorship & Community Care

Beyond clinical work, I am passionate about:

• Teaching healing principles

• Mentoring practitioners

• Creating educational content
