My Why
I want to help you experience consistent joy and ease in your life.
My mother was once asked about her politics; it was a loaded question, given she was Palestinian and the other person was trying to provoke her. After a few moments' thought, however, she had an answer that was both deftly redirecting, and entirely true to her values.
She said, "I think food is love, and I want to feed the whole world." I've thought about that so much, as the years have gone on. I enjoy cooking and love food, but don't have the same talent in the kitchen she did, as much as my brother and I try to make for each other the same things she made for us growing up.
My aptitude is instead with healing. I help people feel less pain and discomfort, and more ease and joy, using acupuncture and traditional medicine. And if I could do that for the whole world, I would.
I believe experiencing consistent joy and ease is possible for every person, and I have a passion for working with patients to bring their lives into that state. The source of healing is in your own body and self—the acupuncture, herbs, and other modalities I use help you to make your own medicine. I am here to offer my knowledge and compassion, and I know that when we work together as a team, we will create equilibrium and health.
I am a Licensed Acupuncturist, having received my MAcOM from Arizona School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, where I am also currently an Admissions Officer and manager of the herbal dispensary. I have previously held certifications as an Emergency Medical Technician and in Classical Yoga via the Providence Institute. While traveling around the world, I trained in Ayurveda at Santhi Yoga Teacher Training Institute in Trivandrum, India, and Tantric Yoga at Mahasiddha Yoga in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
I’m also the dad to a toddler who is a shining little sun and partner to a wife who inspires me everyday with her kindness and brilliance. I am constantly in our garden at home, tinkering with permaculture and supporting local wildlife, and practice Qi Gong and meditation there every day.
