My Story
​My firsthand experience with chronic health conditions, including childhood diagnosis's with Type 1 Diabetes and Hashimoto's, fuels my commitment to creating an inclusive and equitable healthcare environment.
I am here to listen, understand, and tailor healthcare strategies that recognize the individuality within diverse intersections. ​​​​ ​
​Born and raised in Philadelphia, I grew up an avid fan of the arts, eventually attending the High School for Creative and Performing Arts where I majored in Vocal Music, and went on to sing in various indie/pop bands. Eventually looking to acupuncture to help treat a vocal chord injury.
​
In college, I studied Cultural Anthropology under a professor who taught a class on medical anthropology, laying a strong foundation for an interest of medical systems outside of allopathic medicine.
My Training​​
I received a Masters of Acupuncture degree from the Won Institute in Warminster, PA after three years of intensive graduate study of the theory and practice of East Asian Medicine. I am NCCAOM certified, licensed under the PA state board of medicine.
​
​Having trained under specialists in Sports Medicine and Acupuncture Physical Medicine, I specialize in treating physical pain and musculoskeletal conditions using channel theory, trigger point therapy, and motor point stimulation (neuromuscular acupuncture).
​
Worsley 5E acupuncture is a cornerstone of my practice, with a special emphasis on employing trauma-informed care and treating emotional regulation.
​
During an enriching experience as an intern with the Won’s "Go-To-Them" clinic, I delivered community treatments to veterans and rehabilitation centers in Philadelphia. These clinics focused on enhancing opioid rehabilitation program retention and addressing concerns such as addiction, insomnia, anxiety, and pharmaceutical dependency.

-
Chronic pain

Mental Health
