I’m a first-generation American (Norwegian mother and German father), a Bay Area native, and have been living in San Francisco for 18 years. I spent childhood summers outdoors, some in the incredible nature of Norway, and also hiking with my mom in the hills of California. It was a combination of this and my mother’s influence in using natural, folk remedies, that eventually brought me to study Traditional Chinese Medicine with a particular interest in herbal formulations.

I have been practicing now for 10 years, and continually fall in love with the ways that this medicine brings positive change in people’s lives. I am particularly passionate about the profound impact that this medicine has in optimizing women’s health, as well as conception. I love supporting women and or men with their fertility goals and supporting pregnancy and the post natal time.
