I believe women deserve healthcare that takes the time to listen, looks at the whole picture, and meets them where they are. Through Verdae Wellness, I provide personalized acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine to support fertility, IVF/IUI, hormone and cycle health, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and general wellness. Every treatment is thoughtfully tailored to the person in front of me and designed to complement the care she may already be receiving.
My path to women’s health started in an unexpected place. While studying Biology and Chemistry on a pre-veterinary track, I spent time helping deliver litters of puppies—earning the affectionate title of “puppy midwife.” Even then, I was fascinated by reproduction, motherhood, and the remarkable ways the body adapts through different seasons of life.
When I was later introduced to Traditional Chinese Medicine, something clicked. I was drawn to its whole-body perspective and the way it considers the connections between our cycles, symptoms, environment, and overall health.
I went on to earn my Master of Acupuncture and Doctor of Chinese Medicine degrees, focusing my clinical work on women’s health and fertility. My own fertility journey later gave that work an even more personal meaning and deepened the compassion I bring to caring for women through vulnerable and uncertain seasons.
Today, Verdae Wellness brings those pieces together: clinical training, lived experience, curiosity, and a genuine desire to care for women well. I provide personalized acupuncture and Chinese medicine for fertility and IVF/IUI support, hormone health, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and general wellness—with the belief that every woman deserves to feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for.
When I’m not working...
I can often be found playing outside with my family, trying out a new recipe in the kitchen, or curled up on the couch with a cup of tea and a good book or movie.
I’m always up for a good...
park playdate! My son would rather be outside playing in the dirt than cooped up in front of a screen any day! There are so many cool parks and playgrounds in Minnesota. We love exploring them.
I can't live without...
cozy slippers, soft sweaters, and a great candle.
