Pediatrics

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a gentle and natural way to ease digestion issues, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and encourage a healthy appetite.

It's also particularly effective for nurturing respiratory health, addressing conditions like asthma, and building a resilient immune system—helping your child grow strong, balanced, and vibrant.

As a Doctor of Acupuncture, one of my specialties is pediatric care. I’ve been privileged to train with Dr. Ruth McCarty, a mentor whose compassionate expertise shaped my practice with children.

My journey began with a six-month internship at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), where I learned to care for children facing physical pain, serious illness, and developmental challenges. This experience led me to work closely with Dr. McCarty at her practice, Open Mind Modalities, where she continued to guide me in creating gentle, effective treatments for young ones.

Treating children is a calling that requires not only knowledge but also a heart-centered approach, and I am truly grateful to bring that love and care into each session.
