My journey into Acupuncture began with a lifelong curiosity about the body, medicine, and healing.

Since attending Acupuncture school in 2016, I’ve been continually inspired by the depth of Chinese Medicine, which challenges me to grow both personally and professionally.

Alongside, I train as an intuitive healer, exploring how the physical and spiritual worlds meet to shape our health, choices, and experience of life.

My African heritage and global path—from Kenya to the U.S. to Europe—inform my work and remind me that our joys and struggles are deeply shared across cultures.

In practice, I weave Chinese Medicine with intuitive healing while considering the social, structural, and personal forces that shape us.

My role is to be a catalyst—awakening beauty within and without, guiding nervous system regulation, fostering emotional balance, and helping you reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence as a pathway to meaningful change.

Looking forward to holding space for you in your healing journey.
