Born in Singapore and raised in Germany by a French mother and German father, Angie came to the U.S. at age 19. A move from upstate NY to Santa Cruz, California in 2000 led her to discover acupuncture and Qi Gong, setting her on a path of studying the Healing Arts. She completed her Master in Traditional Chinese Medicine (MTCM) at Five Branches University in Santa Cruz in December of 2005 and became a California State Board Licensed Acupuncturist the following year. She’s also certified by the NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine). She’s been practicing in the Bay Area since 2006 with a recent sabbatical to fulfill her lifelong dream of publishing a novel, followed shortly by a second (and a third in progress).

Throughout her years in practice, she’s studied various other methods of energy healing. Among those, she completed an extensive 2-year certification program in Bioenergy Balancing with Priscilla Kapel that honed her intuition and linked the body’s biochemistry with our mental-emotional-spiritual wellbeing. More recently, she’s added Reiki to her repertoire, receiving her level I and II attunements from her Reiki Master, Geneviève Vulser. She’s witnessed with amazement how much more powerful the energy has become that flows through her hands when she does healing work—both in person and in remote sessions. She’s found it deeply rewarding to incorporate this gentle yet powerful healing method into her practice and observe its positive effects. She offers Reiki on its own (in person or remotely) or in combination with acupuncture (in person only).

Angie’s specialties include stress & pain management (acute and chronic), mental & emotional wellbeing, pregnancy support, women’s health, recovery & performance optimization for athletes, digestive disorders, and cancer support. She often meets her clients when they’re faced with significant questions and transitions in their lives. Between acupuncture, Reiki, and spiritual coaching, Angie can help you navigate change and uncertainty with greater ease at the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.

She strives to bring empathy, presence, and warmth to her treatments and may be most well-known for her expert cupping skills. She loves working with people who are committed to their own healing and are willing to look deeply within themselves to identify and shift what may have been holding them back. From this place of awareness and intention, extraordinary leaps in healing can occur.

Helping you live your best life is Angie’s greatest reward. She looks forward to being a part of your healing journey!
