Hi, I’m Melody.

I grew up on a small island surrounded by nature and community. It was here that I developed an understanding of the mind-body connection and integrative medicine.

I am a Doctor of Chinese Medicine dedicated to integrative family medicine. My practice is grounded in the belief that the body holds innate wisdom.

With a clinical focus on hormonal health, digestion, emotional wellbeing, pain relief, sports injuries, and trauma recovery, I integrate Acupuncture, CranioSacral Therapy, Massage, and Yoga Therapy to create individualized, holistic treatments.

Passionate about women’s health, I support women in reconnecting with their bodies and reclaiming vitality through cyclical awareness, hormonal harmony, embodied meditation, and mindful movement. I also welcome all genders, children, and infants into my practice.

Outside the clinic, I enjoy surfing, forest bathing, crafting herbal remedies, and homesteading.

A unique process is yours to unearth, reclaim and tap into your unrestricted self. I invite you to join me in aligning with nature's cycles to free your energy and access your true essence.

I want to acknowledge that I am practicing a cultural medicine that is not directly of my own ancestry. For this great privilege I offer my deep respect. I would like to thank all of my teachers, especially: Dr. Jin Tripp, Dr. Juan Huang and Dr. Jing Zang for their matriarchal and cultural teachings. I am also very grateful to Jennifer Apedaile; Kati Marshall; Rory Knapp-Fisher; Illya Borreson; Malcolm Clark; Ted Van Hemert; Mari Abraham; and Sophia Buchholz for their wisdom teachings.
