Precision Acupuncture & Sports Medicine for High Performers

If you’re an athlete, a high-performing professional, or just someone who refuses to let pain and fatigue ruin your day, we’re going to get along just fine. My job? To keep your body running like a well-tuned sports car—without letting it turn into an ’02 Honda Civic with 200,000 miles.

With a background in orthopedic acupuncture, dry needling, and advanced bodywork, I help people like you eliminate pain, recover faster, and optimize energy—so you can keep dominating, whether that’s on the field, in the gym, or in a boardroom.

My Journey: From Injury to Optimization

(or, How I Became Obsessed with Recovery)

Like many of my patients, I learned about pain the hard way. I played competitive soccer from age six through my late 20s, had ACL surgery in college, and spent years dealing with a stubborn Achilles tendon issue that made every post-game experience feel like I’d aged 40 years overnight.

Doctors told me I just had to "manage it." That wasn’t good enough.

So, I went down the rabbit hole of sports recovery, acupuncture, and bodywork, and—surprise—it actually worked. I went from limping after games to running my first 5K race pain-free. Today, I feel better than I did in my 20s (minus the metabolism, let’s be honest).

That’s when I knew I wanted to take this knowledge and help other high performers avoid years of frustration, unnecessary meds, and bad advice.
