about me

My official title is acupuncturist, but the work I do reaches far beyond needles.

I specialize in fertility, facial acupuncture, migraines, perimenopause, and nervous system repair, with a special focus on high-functioning neurodivergence. But what I really do is help people return to themselves in a world that constantly pulls us out.

My sessions often begin with physical symptoms and end with people saying things like “I’ve never thought about my life in that way.”

That’s the moment I live for: when the body speaks and the story shifts.

the paper trail

I earned my Master’s in Acupuncture from Pacific College of Health and Science in 2014 and have practiced full-time in Westchester since 2016. I originally opened under the name Acupuncture of Tarrytown, before evolving into Well Collab Acupuncture — a fuller expression of my collaborative work.

Before acupuncture, I studied Creative Writing and Gender Studies at the University of San Diego, followed by a post-baccalaureate in Psychology at Rutgers. I’m currently pursuing a doctorate in neurologically-focused acupuncture to deepen my work with neurodivergence and nervous system regulation.

 

the real life trail

Like many women, I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 30s.

That moment unraveled a lifetime of masking and rewrote the way I approach healing. I now support neurodivergent clients (diagnosed or not) in reclaiming their rhythm, reframing their brilliance, and embodying what makes them different.

I believe a regulated neurodivergent nervous system can change a family, a lineage, and a world.

It’s not just possible; it’s necessary.

beyond the table

I’m also the creator of the Proof of Life® framework, which guides all of my offerings (both in-person and online).

You can experience my work through:

  • Feminist Facials (my own facial acupuncture method, safe for pregnancy + migraines)

  • Courses like Bitch to Witch and Ethical AI

  • Quantum Mirror sessions for identity healing, pattern unraveling, and sacred clarity

Whether we’re working with your fascia or your future self, it’s all the same thread: helping you come home to your body, your truth, and your rhythm.

and just so you know…

Yes, I’m a business owner, a mom, a stepmom, and a spouse.

Yes, we have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 mice, and a snake.

Yes, my hair is probably different every time you see me.

And yes, a little bit of organized chaos is my sweet spot!

Acupuncture taught me that we all have specific conditions under which we thrive best.

I’d love to help you find yours.
