My Story

My journey into the healing arts began in Germany, where I grew up in an herbalist family. Surrounded by the traditions of herbal and homeopathic medicine, There, I developed a deep passion for the power of plants and holistic wellness from a young age.

After an early career in international banking, a move to the United States made me realize that the use of traditional and holistic medicine was not as common here as it was in Europe. This opened a new chapter in my life. I rediscovered my passion for herbal medicine, which led to the creation of the first specialty tea and herb store in Phoenix – Souvia. Aside from specialty loose leaf teas from around the world, customers could find herbs and herbal blends to support their health. With seminars and workshops I encouraged people to return to the old ways and create their own medicinal blends. For thirteen years I combined my love for natural remedies and education with my entrepreneurial spirit, creating a loyal following of “herbies”.

My personal health challenges introduced me to Chinese medicine and acupuncture. After experiencing the quick results with needles, I was curious to learn more and pursued my studies at the Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture (PIHMA). I earned a Master of Science degree in Acupuncture and became nationally board certified in 2017.

Driven by my commitment to holistic care, I have expanded my practice to include functional medicine, holistic facial rejuvenation treatments, seamlessly blending ancient wisdom with modern science.

My mission is to encourage and empower patients on their health journeys, helping them achieve optimal health and well-being.
