Your search for comfort, pain relief, or curiosity has landed you here.

Welcome to Golden Therapeutics, my Acupuncture and BioEnergetics practice.

The first time I received acupuncture I had an unusual, life changing experience. That treatment changed everything, and liberated within me the person I was all along. That’s the power of acupuncture I am eager to share with my patients.

When I look back at my early teens, I see the curiosity of the mystical made me feel like real magic was all around me, and the first spark of awe came from the investigation of healing herbs. I learned that ancient cultures cured the sick and enhanced health through the gifts of their local flora, and even connected their open hearts with the universe through plants that expanded their consciousness. Through the years I devoured books on pregnancy, minerals, anatomy, psychology, color, anthropology, alchemy, art, meditation, and holistic remedies.

The practical ease and strength in soft tissue manipulation manifested unexpectedly while attending San Francisco Art Institute. My figurative clay sculpture often carved out life-sized human shapes. Soon after in 2010, as per my mom’s suggestion, I began my career as a massage therapist. Like I did with clay, I began to carve out muscle and fascia to render bodies that could then move vibrantly, freely, with less pain and restriction.

I started at Power Chiropractic, helping people rehabilitate from traumatic car accidents, sport injuries, and chronic physical pain. That same year I was invited to offer prenatal massage at the Orchid Nest, where the awesome inherent power of women is nurtured, so it may bring about life naturally and without fear.  

In 2015 I started practicing acupuncture as an intern at the ATOM clinic, and in 2017 volunteering at Light of the World Clinic, where the uninsured and underserved receive free medical care. By 2018 I earned a Bachelors in Health Science, and a Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine. Finally, the piece that brought it all together was Pranic Healing and becoming an Arhatic Yogi. I now understand the yoga of my life is to serve my community with the healing arts. Living my purpose is a gift made from all the challenges, joys, and moments that shaped me, and it is my calling to share it with you.

More recently, I became a mother. The experience of pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and family management has further informed my practice as I support women and their families in this all encompassing journey of motherhood.
