She complements her acupuncture treatments with adjunct therapies such as aromatherapy, cupping, Tui Na, and auricular acupuncture.
With the holistic and integrative approach of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, her practice is not limited to these aspects alone.

She brings a deep understanding of the power of the mind-body connection.
