Traditional Eastern medicine has proven to be one of the most effective ways to treat pain, chronic health conditions, and improve overall well-being. This is because our medicine views the mind, body and spirit as a connectedand integrated whole. I specialize in a gentle style of Japanese acupuncture that is guided by more than 2000 years of wisdom and is based upon your body's innate ability to heal and re-balance itself.
I will work with you to achieve your short and long term health goals with a holistic treatment plan. I place a high value on educating patients because the more knowledge we have, the easier it is to make healthy choices. With each treatment you will learn how our medicine works and receive individually-tailored nutritional advice, stretches and exercises whenever relevant.

I practice a Japanese-style of acupuncture that is very gentle, yet highly effective. I work with many first-timers to acupuncture and enjoy explaining traditional Eastern physiology and helping take the fear out of the needles. Many people report that they don't even feel the needles going in and for this, I am grateful to my teachers.
Your first appointment begins with a conversation about your past medical history, the state of your overall health & well-being, and what changes you would most like to achieve. This integrated picture allows me to develop a holistic treatment plan that addresses the root causes of your health imbalances as well as the troublesome symptoms.

Mamie is an extremely caring and compassionate doctor of Chinese medicine. I injured my rotator cuff from the physically taxing, receptive motions of being a full time barista for the last few years. While I was in the process of figuring out how to treat my injury, I knew acupuncture couldn't fix my shoulder but might at least help.
Mamie was able to accommodate me same day, which was incredible. She allows for texting to schedule an appointment which was awesome, as I was busy at work. We talked extensively about my health, diet, sleep patterns, etc. She treated me with a combination of

Mamie was really great! Asked a lot of good questions to assess the situation holistically. The best part of her approach was to look at everything as a system, not just addressing the pain in terms of the needles, but also looking at what I was eating/drinking, daily habits, exercise, and sleep, which all contribute to the body's health. And of course on top of that, she's got great bedside manner and is committed to helping patients do well. Definitely recommend!

I have a huge fear/dislike of needles. I've been to see a few different acupuncturists in my lifetime. I can honestly say that Mamie's touch is feather-light and 95% of the time, I don't feel the needles. Unlike other acupuncturists who might like to poke the needle in all directions and really get you to feel stabbing pain, Mamie's philosophy is different but it accomplishes the same results.
I've been very stressed recently and had tight knots in my shoulder. With a couple of needles, they were gone!
As a bonus, I was given her bone marrow broth recipe which I freeze

Mamie has the hands, heart and spirit of a healer.
i've been seeing her for ongoing high stress (due to work) which results in insomnia, migraines, back pain and skin conditions. she treats my symptoms as well as the root cause through acupuncture, massage, nutrition advice, and overall lifestyle recommendations.
she is gentle, patient and completely nonjudgmental. her touch is so light i never feel the needles going in, and can always count on a good nap during each appointment.
she is very flexible and has squeezed me in several times to treat a migraine as it's developing (and
