Will was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. In 2000, he moved to southern California for college and has spent many years in the area. After college, Will moved to Japan and began to receive acupuncture and massage treatments and, upon his return to the states, attended school for massage therapy. His 1,000+ hour program included Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports and Circulatory massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Facilitated Stretching, Shiatsu, western herbs and nutrition. He continued on to get his master’s degree in Oriental medicine in 2014, which greatly furthered his abilities and understanding of health and the human body. His work has become a blend of these techniques and he calls on these various modalities when he finds that they will be the most useful. His treatments can include acupuncture, massage, fire cupping, dietary recommendations, yoga/movement practice guidance and herbal remedies. Will commonly treats acute and chronic pain, sports injuries, stress, anxiety, insomnia and men's health issues.
In his free time, Will loves to play music, meditate, eat delicious food, and practice his medicine. He is a movement enthusiast and loves to run, hike, bike, practice yoga and play in the great outdoors. He strives to find the vibrant health that is within each of us and to bring that wholeness closer to our hearts. He is devoted to helping people find medicine in all aspects of life and carries with him the experience and education to help foster this journey. |

Throughout her life she has met very influential practitioners, from multiple modalities, who helped her with various ailments and who encouraged her to seek out the healer in herself.
