Licensed Acupuncturist in Greenville, SC
As a licensed acupuncturist in Greenville, SC, I have dedicated my career to providing natural, holistic healthcare solutions rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. My journey into acupuncture began after years of exploring pharmacy and yoga, ultimately leading me to formal education at the Arizona School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, where I earned my Master's degree. Certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), I specialize in treating acute and chronic pain, women's health issues, emotional disorders, and more using sterile, minimally invasive techniques.With over 15 years of experience, I prioritize preventive care and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. My practice integrates acupuncture, herbal medicine, and complementary therapies like fire cupping and cosmetic acupuncture to address both physical and energetic imbalances. Patients consistently report significant improvements in conditions ranging from insomnia to carpal tunnel syndrome without reliance on pharmaceuticals. I remain committed to advancing my expertise while maintaining the highest standards of safety, transparency, and patient-centered care.

Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses ultra-thin needles to rebalance energy flow, treating chronic pain, anxiety, and digestive issues. Sessions target specific meridians to stimulate healing, with most patients requiring 4-12 treatments for lasting results. This FDA-approved therapy addresses conditions like migraines, fertility challenges, and neuropathy through personalized protocols.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Combines acupuncture with cupping to reduce wrinkles and firm facial muscles. Treatments stimulate collagen production, diminishing fine lines and under-eye puffiness. Patients report visible improvements in skin tone and elasticity after 5-15 sessions, avoiding invasive cosmetic procedures.
Fire Cupping
Fire cupping creates localized suction to enhance circulation and muscle recovery. This ancient technique relieves tension headaches, back pain, and respiratory congestion. Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes, with most patients experiencing immediate relaxation and improved mobility.
Herbal Consult
Custom herbal formulations address internal imbalances and chronic conditions. Patients receive tailored prescriptions in pill or tea form to complement acupuncture treatments. Common applications include digestive disorders, hormonal regulation, and immune system support without pharmaceutical side effects.
Access Bars
Access Bars therapy releases stored mental and emotional blockages through 32 cranial points. This non-invasive session promotes deep relaxation and mental clarity, helping patients overcome limiting beliefs and stress-related conditions. Most report noticeable shifts after a single 90-minute session.
