A certified NAET practitioner – Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique See separate brochure on NAET or visit the website: www.NAET.com * * * * * Prior to my training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I received many acupuncture treatments; first by a Vietnamese MD – TCM Acupuncturist in Fairfax, Va and then by the student interns at the school clinic I later attended. The treatments were successful but some were painful and uncomfortable. I hoped that I too could be successful but vowed to be a gentler practitioner. Therefore, I strive to make all my treatments comfortable and most of my patients say enjoyable. I use a very gentle technique with special needles made in Japan that have very little resistance and are mostly painfree.Prior to moving to this area, I enjoyed a very successful practice in Alexandria, Old Town, VA where I shared space with the mass age therapists at Alexandria Bodyworks. I sold my practice and relocated to Hampton Roads to be near my son and his family.I look forward to beginning anew in this area and hope to serve the community by helping to relieve pain and imbalances of body, mind and spirit.
