Originally from Dana Point, CA Susan was exposed to acupuncture and massage at a young age. Her fascination for acupuncture was spawned while watching Dr. Damon Yang, a 5th generation acupuncturist and close family friend who lived in her home for a year. Dr. Yang was a personal acupuncturist for Chiang Kai-Shek. Susan watched the acupuncture process daily and he showed her massage and pulse reading. Her love for bodywork was practiced for fun and finally gained direction after healing from an injury and realizing the bodys innate healing ability first hand. The science of how the body, with the right stimulation, regulates and heals itself has led Susan to a comprehensive approach to health care. By incorporating each of the five branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine along with massage and other healing modalities, she is able to identify and then address the cause of most disease. Healing is a discovery, so Susan has refined a gentle approach to the body to ensure a profound experience while receiving acupuncture and bodywork.
