I have practiced acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine for over twenty-five years, since 1992. My practice has been in Frederick, MD, since 1995. My training has taught me to see you, as my client, as someone with a particular physical and energetic constitution. When we work together I will be assessing all the ways your body and mind may be manifesting discomfort and dis-ease.
Like my wife, Alice, I am blessed with a gift for easing body, mind, and spirit that I have nurtured over decades. I began my path to becoming a massage therapist and energy worker in 1978, with ki-atsu massage (Japanese for "pressing with qi"), a qigong technique that I learned studying Aikido, a martial art.

Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a highly sophisticated system of health care that has been developed in China and East Asia over a period of thousands of years. The earliest surviving Chinese texts on acupuncture were written over two thousand years ago, and those texts reflect medical scholarship and knowledge that was already well developed when the authors prepared those treatises.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a fully developed medical system, with a long and distinguished history of elite medical training and scholarship. The earliest surviving texts about Traditional Chinese Medicine were written before the Common Era, more than 2,000 years ago. More than 40,000 volumes written in Chinese were available prior to 1900.

I have been seeing Alice regularly for several years. I trust her advice over that of my Western medical doctors. She is extremely knowledgeable and straightforward. She also offers herbal tinctures that help with all kinds of woes, including relief from flu-like illnesses, sinus problems, headaches, menopause, and energy deficiencies. Alice is someone you want in your life.

Alice is personable and professional. She not only treats your physical ailments but also genuinely cares about you as a person and can treat emotional issues as needed. I have tried other acupuncturists with minimal results. Every visit with Alice is beneficial and therapeutic. She doesn't watch the clock and hustle you along so she can get to her next client. She takes her time and works to resolve any and all ailments in a variety of ways. I have been seeing her for years and would highly recommend visiting Alice for help with headaches, neck/back pain, joint issues, etc.

I was a newbie to acupuncture the first time I came to this practice. I am grateful I came here. Alice's gentle spirit and ability to see the whole person put me at ease from the beginning. She is an excellent practitioner of acupuncture with impeccable credentials, yet still patient and compassionate, taking time to answer questions and respond to concerns. While some who offer alternative forms of healthcare can be single-minded, she is knowledgeable about more traditional (Western) medicine and familiar with other approaches to healing. If she can't help you, she does not hesitate to suggest
