Cloud Gate is all about walking your path to building and nurturing your well-being. I look forward to serving you on your way. Thank you for choosing Cloud Gate!

Welcome! I’m looking forward to meeting you. Here’s information so you can get to know me before we meet and attend to you!

My career as an acupuncturist, Asian medicine practitioner, health educator, and movement instructor formally began thirty years ago. It was a winding road that got me here and this path continues to be a source of joy, intrigue, and deep satisfaction.

Trained in the US and China, I am passionate about helping people cultivate an awareness of their mind & body — the first step in supporting their well-being. In service to my mission, I create and offer innovative health education programs on mindfulness, movement, self care, prevention and alternative medicines.

I’m so enthusiastic about Classical Chinese Medicine and how we can be our own best physicians, I wrote a book about it! You’ll learn about this medicine and what self-care practices could serve you well in To Be Like Water—Cultivating a Graceful and Fulfilling Life through the Virtues of Water and Dao Yin Therapeutic Movement, available through your local or online bookseller.

Finally, I love to move, dance, garden and sing where I live with my family by the clear waters of the South Toe River in Western North Carolina.

I look forward to hearing your story!
