Acupuncture

Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese method of healing, involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into particular points of the body. Chinese medical theory holds that acupuncture works by normalizing the balance of Qi (pronounced "chee") – life force or vital energy – throughout the body. If your Qi is depleted or obstructed, you may notice symptoms. An acupuncturist finds the root cause of the imbalance and focuses on treating that imbalance.

I’ve been a massage therapist for over 30 years. After attending massage school in Santa Fe, New Mexico and a short time on the east coast working at the Omega Institute, I moved to Phoenix and worked at a luxury resort spa for 24 years. While at the spa, I had the honor of being selected to work on First Lady Michelle Obama and President Joe Biden as well as a number of celebrities. I love working with people to help them feel great and function optimally. My bodywork modalities include: Swedish, Therapeutic, Deep Tissue, Prenatal, Reflexology, Lymphatic Drainage, and Massage Cupping.

My passion for helping others heal their bodies helped me decide to go back to school in 2015. I graduated with a Masters of Science in Acupuncture from Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture (PIHMA) and added this service to Desert Song's ever-growing list of healing modalities. In addition to Acupuncture, as bodywork goes, I use my intuition to find areas of tension in the body and bring relief with deep tissue work, reflexology, lymphatic drainage, Tui Na and cupping.
