Patricia earned her Master’s degree in Acupuncture from the Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture in 2010, followed by a certificate in Chinese Herbal Medicine from Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts in 2021. She began her career in private practice and as a member of Arizona State University’s integrative medicine team.

Her deep appreciation for integrative medicine led her to join Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Newnan, Georgia, in 2013. In her role as an acupuncturist, Patricia treated patients for a wide range of conditions, including pain, neuropathy, hot flashes and night sweats, anxiety, insomnia, nausea and vomiting, gastrointestinal issues, dysgeusia, and xerostomia. She found it incredibly rewarding to witness how acupuncture helped patients navigate cancer treatment with greater comfort and grace, often making a meaningful difference even for the sickest individuals.

More recently, Patricia practiced at Atlanta Integrative and Internal Medicine and Thrive Acupuncture and Wellness in Atlanta, Georgia, where she treated patients with a variety of medical concerns. She is thrilled to be joining the team at Balanced You Clinic and values acupuncture’s ability to support healing by addressing the underlying imbalances behind each condition.

In her free time, Patricia enjoys getting creative in the kitchen, restoring her great-grandmother’s heirloom quilts, and spending time outdoors hiking, camping, backpacking, and kayaking.
