Hello! Those abbreviations just mean I hold a Masters in Acupuncture (from The New England School of Acupuncture), that I am certified as a Diplomate of Acupuncture from the National Certification Committee for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and that I am licensed by the Board of Medicine to practice in MA. My education also encompassed training in various forms of body/energy work, including Tui na, Sotai, and certifications in Reiki and Tong Ren Therapy. At Save Point, I provide acupuncture in Davis Square, Somerville, with treatment tailored to each person's goals, symptoms, and preferences.
I've worked in hospitals, community clinics, and private practice.
When I'm not doing this job that I love, I enjoy picking weights up and putting them down in the exact same place, hiking with my dog, and wandering the wasteland in a video game like Fallout 4 (also with my dog).

I'm a dual-wielder of Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy, meaning I don't shy away from the manual work that's sorely missing in PT mills. At Save Point, I provide one-on-one physical therapy and massage therapy in Davis Square, Somerville, with an emphasis on hands-on care, movement, and getting people back to the things they actually want to do.
I graduated MCPHS with a Doctorate in Physical therapy in 2024. I graduated Cortiva Institute of Massage Therapy in 2014, followed by certifications in orthopedic massage therapy, prenatal massage, & others stuff which means having an adaptable eye that can zoom out for systemic goals like relaxation or zooming in problem specific. I worked at Harvard University's "Center for Wellness” & and few other clinics, taught chair massage classes, volunteered at the Boston Marathon, and eventually formed my independent practice cuz SOMEONE has a problem with authority, especially when it puts profits above patient care. I'd rather spend more time with patients to focus on the details to be the best recovery tour guide I can be, without compromising integrity. Just need to keep the lights on... Speaking of. Crap. Generator's on the fritz again.
