I practice in Beaverton, Oregon. I dreamt of being an itinerant acupuncturist, traveling the world with a simple bag of needles and golden moxibustion tools.

I translated portions of Korean acupuncture and moxibustion texts into English. While not an ornate work, it remains a resource for those interested. Please feel free to use the search box below to explore it further.
