HOW MY WORK BECAME MY CALLING...

​

I was drawn to acupuncture during my own experience with healing after grief and loss. I came to it looking for support—and found something that helped me reconnect with my body in a way that felt steady, gentle, and healing.

 

Over time, those experiences grew into WANTING to support other women in their own journeys. Today, I FEEL SO BLESSED AND REWARDED, offering women’s health acupuncture to support the body through fertility, pregnancy, hormonal shifts, and the many transitions we navigate as women.

​

AS MY WORK PROGRESSED, I AM drawn TO grief work. I know how disorienting and lonely maternal loss can feel, and how much it matters to have a space where your experience is truly seen and held. I LOST TWO OF MY TRIPLET INFANTS-ONE AT BIRTH AND ANOTHER AT NINE MONTHS OF AGE. Through my own healing, I came to understand that grief doesn’t go away—but it can be carried in a different way, integrated with more support, more steadiness, MORE COMPASSION FOR OURSELVES IN OUR LOSSES. WE CAN ALSO COME TO DEEPLY HONOR OUR LOSSES THROUGHOUT THAT JOURNEY.

​

As an ICF-certified grief coach, specializing in miscarriage and infant loss, I sit with other mothers in that space—honoring their grief, their motherhood, and their love that continues FORWARD and always will.

​

Tending Point is where these two parts of my work coalesce—
support for your body, MIND, AND SPIRIT ACROSS DIMENSIONS FOR THE EXPERIENCES SO MANY WOMEN FACE. 

​

My education includes a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Villanova University and a Master’s degree in Chinese Medicine from the Won Institute of Graduate Studies. I continue WORKING pER DIEM in hospice nursing STILL TODAY. My professional experiences WOVEN INTO MY personal BACKSTORY fully INFORM how I approach care—thoughtfully, holistically, and with deep respect for each person’s INDIVIDUAL experience.​
