How long have you been feeling less than radiant, chasing this illusive thing called ‘healthy gut’? If your journey looks anything like mine did, I get it if you’re feeling way past frustrated by now!
Over twenty years ago, long before I became an acupuncturist, I suffered from a host of confounding digestive issues and almost crippling fatigue. If I wasn't constipated, I was most likely running to the bathroom with diarrhea several times a day. I was constantly bloated, feeling heavy and tired after every meal. At times I could barely drag myself through the day I was so tired, and my brain often went on vacation at the most inconvenient of times.
I tried every type of elimination diet out there, vacillating between extremes. I took test after test, and yet no one had any answers for me. Until, one day, I bumped into an old friend of mine at the coffee shop, and he shared his own journey back to health — along with the name of his Chinese Medicine Practitioner.
That day opened the doors for me — I learned to understand my body and health in a whole different light. I finally had answers AND solutions, as well as an exciting new direction in life that led me to become a Doctor of Chinese Medicine myself, so I could help others take their health back into their own hands.
Here's what I wish someone had told me back then: our body desires to return to health; what feels like chaos and breakdown is "merely" our body telling us where it is out of balance, showing us which systems stopped functioning or communicating properly, where energy got "stuck."
Once we know what to look for, how to listen to the messages, we can start treating the root cause and restore harmony and flow to our body. That is what Chinese Medicine is concerned with — the free flow of Qi, or life force, through the meridians, not fixing separate symptoms.
Most people I work with carry a mix of several patterns — in 25+ years of focusing on digestive health, I can tell you these three patterns in particular walk through my door every week. They're some of the most common reasons people end up looking outside of conventional medicine in the first place:

If you read that and thought “That’s me — a bit of all of the above“ — don't worry, that's normal. You don't need to arrive already knowing your pattern. That's what our first sessions together are for.
A client came to me last year convinced she just had "a sensitive system." Bloating, cramping, a decade of digestion swinging unpredictably between constipation and diarrhea. What we found, through pulse and tongue diagnosis, was depleted Spleen Qi paired with stagnant Liver Qi — years of unprocessed stress that had created real blockages along the pathways connected to digestion. Within the first month of acupuncture, a targeted herbal formula, and a few simple QiGong movements, she noticed less bloating. By month three, she told me she'd forgotten what it felt like to plan her day around her stomach.
Rooted Digestion brings together everything I use with my private clients, built for a small group ready to get to the root of their health and restore harmonious function:

We meet weekly over Zoom for 4 months, learning the core principles of digestive health, QiGong & Taoist practices together, plus you’ll get a private monthly session with me to check in and adjust your formula. Every session is recorded, and I always make time to catch you up if you miss one.
How much have you already spent on these issues — the specialists, the tests, the diets that didn't stick, and the years spent not knowing? We are taking out the guesswork. This course gives you four months of a personalized formula adjusted to your body as it changes, real practices to move what's stuck, and me, actually tracking your pattern with you the whole way.
