From surviving the chaos to simplifying the business of healing

I help acupuncturists and wellness practitioners stop overcomplicating business, make more money,

and build sustainable practices without losing their integrity, sanity, or soul in the process.

After 16 years of running successful clinics and mentoring hundreds of practitioners,

I know what works and what’s just expensive noise. You don’t have to hustle yourself into burnout to succeed.

You just need a better way.

Founder of The Famous Acupuncturist

"You don’t need to do business the hard way. You don’t need to suffer to succeed."

I built my first practice from zero and no plan, scaled it into multiple six figures, and eventually ran it remotely for nearly a decade. Then cancer hit. Twice.

That chapter taught me everything about resilience, boundaries, and what actually matters when you’re building a business that’s meant to sustain you, not drain you.

Now I teach other practice owners how to grow, simplify, and lead with purpose so they can make a real impact without repeating all my mistakes.

Normal is boring - here are some random bits so you can know the REAL me!

The truth is the more authentic I can be, and the more authentic you can be, the better so we can decide if we are or are not a fit to work together!

My first business was a profitable hot dog stand.

I saw the construction crew setting up and knew they needed more than the typical lemonade stand - entrepreneurship is see a problem, solve a problem! And I figured that out quickly.

I had a limiting belief that you either care about people or care about business.

That story left me burned out, broke and unable to help a whole lot of people. Understanding business has allowed me to reach and serve thousands of people.

I never met a taco I don't like...

I am cold when it's below 80 degrees, steak is a love language and the ocean speaks to my soul - no surprise then that a 10-day vacation to Mexico turned into purchasing a home, ATV and dog and living here 4 years later.....
