Biography

I am a NCCAOM (National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) Certified Acupuncturist. In addition to Acupuncture, I also use several other treatment modalities to help my patients; these include Chinese Herbs and Patents, Tui Na, Acupressure, Electro-Acupuncture, TDP heat lamps, Cupping, Gua Sha and Myofacial Release.

I was born and raised in Australia where I earned her Bachelor of Applied Science in Occupational Therapy at the University of Adelaide. I am a Registered Occupational Therapist and currently works part time in a rehabilitation unit in Redmond where I enjoy treating patients and seeing them return home to live independently. I have over 22 years of experience and education in western medical rehabilitation and have worked in Australia , Canada and the United States. I enjoy working with patients to help them achieve their maximum functional potential. Balancing Health Bothell

Insurance Billing

Contracted as an “in network” provider with the following companies:

• Aetna

• First Choice

If contracted with your insurance, I will submit claims for you. If, however, I am not contracted with your plan, a payment request is made at time of service. My receipt may be submitted in many cases as an “out of network” provider. Please check with your individual insurance provider for “out of network” coverage for acupuncture.

Office Visit and Fee Schedule

In this system of medicine each treatment builds on the previous one. I individualize each treatment plan according to the specific condition being treated. Generally, acute conditions respond more quickly than chronic conditions. Patients will usually begin to see positive changes within the first few treatments. I also encourage follow up care to prevent symptoms from recurring and to maintain wellness.

The first office call is 75- 90 minutes long, with any subsequent return office call being 45-60 minutes long.

Please refer to my financial policy form below for my current fee schedule and discounts for payment at time of service.

For payment, I accept cash, checks, Visa and MasterCard and the insurances listed above.

Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you. Missing appointments compromises the effectiveness of the treatment. Please give 24 hours notice for cancellations, otherwise a $25 missed appointment fee may be charged
