Frances’ path to Chinese medicine began through her own experience navigating chronic asthma and eczema. Growing up in Chicago, she understands firsthand how frustrating and isolating ongoing health concerns can feel. Her early experiences with acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine not only supported her healing, but also showed her the importance of feeling truly heard and cared for throughout the process.
Inspired by that experience, Frances pursued formal training in Chinese medicine and earned her Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science, completing more than 3,500 hours of advanced coursework and supervised clinical training. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Roosevelt University, which continues to shape her thoughtful, whole-person approach to care.
Frances treats a wide range of conditions, including pain, stress and mental health concerns, women’s health and fertility, digestive issues, and sleep disorders. Patients appreciate her calm presence, attentive listening, and compassionate approach. She takes time to understand each person’s unique experience and creates individualized treatment plans that support both physical and emotional well-being.

The Method
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive healing system that has been practiced for thousands of years. Rooted in a long history of safe, practical, and effective care, TCM views the mind, body, and spirit as deeply interconnected through a sophisticated network of energetic pathways known as meridians.
According to TCM theory, health is maintained when vital energy, or qi, flows freely and harmoniously throughout the body. When this balance is disrupted, illness and discomfort may arise. For this reason, TCM places a strong emphasis on prevention and restoring harmony within the body.
The goal of TCM is to support the body’s natural ability to heal and maintain balance. This is achieved through modalities such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional guidance, lifestyle recommendations, and other holistic therapies.
At Blossoming Point Acupuncture, we recognize that every individual has unique health concerns and experiences. Each treatment plan is thoughtfully tailored to support your specific needs and promote lasting wellness.
