The Person

Starting out as a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2002, Phil has been practicing as a Licensed Acupuncturist since 2005, when he graduated from the Swedish Institute in New York City. ​

Phil grew up in the Virgin Islands, where tropical fish, flowers, and wildlife abound. 

He has cultivated a love of science and the natural world ever since. A former high 

school power lifter, Phil was inspired to learn anatomy and massage in order to better 

understand his body. A bout of digestive issues while in massage school introduced 

him to acupuncture, and kickstarted a lifelong preference for alternative therapies.

When not treating patients he enjoys origami, leather crafting, pewter casting, fiber arts, gaming, being outdoors, and going on adventures with his son, Sam.

The Practice

For the entirety of his career, Phil always had a special focus on treating the human body as a whole unit, and prides himself in helping each patient work with their body to facilitate healing.
He has used his knowledge of acupuncture to treat a variety of issues, including Musculoskeletal injuries, Digestive issues, Neurological disorders, Depression and Anxiety.
He also has a wealth of experience treating the side effects of chemotherapy- including but not limited to nausea, vomiting, neuropathy, and fatigue. 

Rather than offer a ‘quick fix’ that may not be sustainable long term, Phil prefers to assist his patients in the creation of new habits, to help their bodies heal naturally, and to support their health in the future.

Phil is currently credentialed with Aetna, Cigna, 1st Choice, Kaiser Permanente, 

Lifewise, Premera, and United.
He is also able to treat patients who have out of network benefits, such as Regence.
