When people come to me for help, it’s often after the traditional medical approach has failed to provide relief. Some are in deep, chronic pain. Others are simply seeking a more holistic path. Each person’s healing journey is unique and requires time, patience, openness, and courage. No two individuals are the same, and neither are their illnesses. That’s why I tailor each treatment plan specifically to the person sitting in front of me. I deeply believe that you know your body best, and I listen closely—collaborating with you every step of the way.
As a naturopathic doctor, my clinical focus is chronic illness, pain management, and women’s health. But my greater mission is to help you reclaim the connection between your mind and body—the foundation of your body’s ability to heal itself. I approach illness as the body’s way of expressing deeper imbalances: unprocessed stress, lifestyle patterns, emotional suppression, and environmental triggers. Through a combination of bodywork, dietary and lifestyle consultation, botanical medicine, supplementation, and homeopathy, we begin to untangle the root causes—not just the symptoms.
My hands-on therapies—such as craniosacral work, lymphatic drainage, cupping, massage, energy healing, and hydrotherapy—help to ease physical pain and calm the nervous system. When the body begins to relax, the mind starts to reconnect, and your innate healing process is reawakened. The symptomatic nature of chronic disease, combined with the anxiety of living with it, often creates a cycle that feeds itself. My protocols help break that loop—addressing not only the physiological but also the dietary, mental, and environmental contributors. My philosophy is rooted in the understanding that healing is always possible. I walk with you on that path—with compassion, curiosity, and commitment.
Do you feel like your body is always tense, inflamed, or exhausted?
Aster Natural Medicine is an integrative clinic focused on pain management for women living with chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, and stress-related disorders.
Many chronic conditions involve persistent pain, tension, fatigue, and nervous system overload. Rather than treating pain as an isolated symptom, I look at the deeper factors that contribute to it—such as inflammation, hormonal imbalance, nervous system dysregulation, and long-term stress.
The goal is not only to reduce pain, but to restore resilience and improve overall quality of life.
I specialize in conditions such as:
My clinic is designed as a calm, supportive environment for women with complex, chronic symptoms. I focus on root-cause, whole-person care rather than short-term symptom suppression.
Aster Natural Medicine currently serves female patients to maintain a comfortable and focused therapeutic setting.
Chronic symptoms often involve more than one body system.
Immune dysfunction, nervous system dysregulation, hormonal imbalance, and long-term stress frequently interact and reinforce one another.
At Aster Natural Medicine, I focus on gentle, root-cause-oriented care that supports the body;s natural ability to heal.
My approach may include:
Please note that my clinic does not offer massage or bodywork as a stand-alone, relaxation-only service.
All hands-on treatments are provided as part of a comprehensive medical plan designed for long-term improvement.

6 Principals of Naturopathic Medicine
The Aster is a plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Its name, "Aster," comes from the Greek word for "star," inspired by the star-like appearance of its petals. In Japan, the Aster is called "Shion" and has been mentioned in classical literature, such as The Tale of Genji. Its light purple color, tinged with a subtle blue hue, has been cherished since ancient times.
In Japanese culture, the Aster symbolizes "recollection" and "I will never forget you," while in Western culture, it represents "patience," and "a symbol of love."
I chose "Aster" as the name for my business to honor Japan, where I grew up and gained a deep appreciation for its culture and history. It also reflects my aspiration to embody the qualities associated with the Aster: patience and love.
