Wild Rose Medicine
Services & Offerings
Integrative medicine rooted in tradition, guided by clinical expertise, and offered through a sliding-scale model in North Lake Tahoe.
A Whole-Person Approach
I don't treat symptoms in isolation. Every visit begins with deep listening — understanding your health history, your current concerns, and the full picture of your life. From there, I create a personalized treatment plan that may draw from acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional guidance, and holistic counseling. My goal is to address the root of what's creating imbalance, and to give your body what it needs to heal on its own terms.
Foundation of Care
Integrative Medicine Consultations
Every new patient begins here. This is a comprehensive, one-on-one session where I take time to understand your full health picture — physical symptoms, emotional patterns, lifestyle, and goals. I combine Western clinical assessment with traditional Chinese medicine diagnostics to identify underlying patterns driving your symptoms.
From this consultation, I build a personalized treatment plan that may include acupuncture, a custom herbal formula, supplement recommendations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle adjustments.
Ideal for: New patients, complex health concerns, anyone seeking a comprehensive integrative approach

Core Treatment
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the cornerstone of my practice. Using hair-thin needles placed at specific points on the body, I stimulate circulation, regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and activate your body's innate healing response. Each point is selected based on your unique pattern — no two treatments are the same. Additional modalities such as cupping, electrical stimulation, guasha, moxa, and massage may also be included.
Most patients feel deeply relaxed during sessions, and many fall asleep. Treatments typically last 30–45 minutes. For best results, I typically recommend weekly sessions for an initial period of approximately three months, adjusting the plan as your body responds.
Effective for: Pain, stress, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, fertility, hormonal imbalances, oncology support, recovery from illness or surgery

Alongside herbal formulas, I provide evidence-informed supplement recommendations and nutritional guidance to support your treatment plan from the inside out. Every formula is carefully crafted with attention to sourcing, quality, herb-drug interactions, and safety.
Includes: Custom herbal formulas, tinctures, supplement protocols, nutritional guidance

Mind & Spirit
Holistic Counseling
Healing doesn't happen in the body alone. I offer integrative counseling support that addresses the emotional, relational, and lifestyle dimensions of health alongside acupuncture and herbal medicine. Our work may explore stress patterns, life transitions, grief, fertility journeys, identity, and personal growth.
Sessions may draw from somatic awareness, mindfulness practices, Chinese medicine philosophy, and contemplative traditions, and may include psychedelic integration support within appropriate scope. While I am not a licensed psychotherapist, I bring advanced training in integrative mental health support and collaborate with or refer to licensed providers when needed.
Supportive for: Anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, psychedelic integration, spiritual exploration
