A passion ignited in 2015 is coming into its next phase.
Leaving the first day of massage school, I had a realization. I had uncovered a passion that would grow for the rest of my life. After 6 years of providing massage therapy to people of all walks of life and expanding my skill to encompass a multitude of different kinds of patients, the next move in deepening my understanding of the human form became clear. I began my journey in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Now 4 years later, as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, I look to the future once again.

My experiences have shaped who I am today. An expert perinatal massage therapist, a doctor of acupuncture, a resource for those in search of healing.
Massage Therapy
5 years of clinical experience working with marathon runners, triathletes, weekend warriors, lawyers, accountants, students, and folks from every walk of life. I spent much of my time supporting the rehabilitation of postural pain and misalignment, joint pain and surgery recovery, and the everyday headache.
My practice grew and morphed into a passion for a transformative phase of life, pregnancy. I discovered the strength and intuition of pregnant women, began to understand what their bodies are experiencing and how I could positively influence and support their physical frame through this transformation. For 5 years I have worked solely with this population and they have taught me more than I could have imagined.
Doctor of Acupuncture
In my massage practice, I noticed I would come across the same presentation in patients with similar pain. I could tell there was something more than structural dysfunction happening but I didn’t have the tools to unearth the source.
My own experiences of acupuncture had been transformative. I knew there was something about this medicine that allowed the practitioner to build a whole picture of wellness or lack there of. I was inspired and curious. Four years and 3,500 hours later, I understand what was missing.
My passion in acupuncture is women’s health, from menarche to menopause. A woman’s menstrual cycle is the greatest indicator of their overall wellness, and traditional Chinese medicine has a variety of tools to care for this staple of womanhood.
A Resource
Throughout my time in the wellness space, I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of providers across practice lines. Through genuine connection and understanding, I have learned how to refer with confidence. I recognize that the scope of acupuncture is not all encompassing, and I have learned how to help my patients find the right provider for them.
Client Reviews
“One of the best massages I’ve ever had! I’m 3 months postpartum and this was such a healing experience. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
— Postpartum Massage client“Communication was top-notch and the final outcome was even better than we imagined. A great experience all around.”
— Former Customer“Victoria was amazing and targeted all the problem areas I have with such a natural approach. You can tell she’s been doing this for years. She focused on all areas of my back, neck, put the perfect amount of pressure on all areas including my legs (which I didn’t realize how bad I needed!). The scalp & foot massage was such a relaxing finish… I felt like all the tension I was holding onto just drifted away. Thanks so much Victoria and I can’t wait to come back for my next session!”
