Rena is dedicated to offering her patients a safe space for personalized, open-minded quality care that is rooted in the Five Element Tradition. Her treatments help people get to a state of optimal health in mind, body and spirit. In addition to symptom relief, Rena works to address the root cause of illness. Beyond acupuncture and moxibustion she offers cupping, gua sha, Chinese nutritional therapy and lifestyle coaching to support patients on their healing journey.

Rena’s connection to acupuncture began with her own diagnosis of arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Acupuncture helped her immensely to manage life with a chronic illness by providing both symptom relief and emotional support. Her experiences gave her a strong desire to help others who are suffering. She believes that she is able to meet patients living with chronic illnesses with a unique sense of empathy.

Prior to pursuing a degree in acupuncture, Rena worked for ten years as a graphic designer for public relation firms, the hospitality industry, and American University. She graduated with honors from the University of Maryland in College Park with a bachelor's degree in art studio.
