Scott is an astrologer and polarity therapist who bridges celestial insight with embodied healing. With over 30 years of experience in astrology and 20 years in therapeutic bodywork, his practice—All Stars Bodywork—supports personal transformation with clarity, resilience, and a deeper connection to inner wisdom. Guided by the belief that cosmic cycles and energetic patterns shape our lives, Scott offers a space of care and trust for reconnecting with the body’s intelligence and the soul’s path.

While he offers stand alone astrology consultations or polarity therapy sessions, his signature Astro-Polarity Session blends evolutionary astrology and polarity therapy in a unique, integrative experience. Each session begins with your birth chart—focusing on elemental balance, the nodal axis, and key planetary themes—then moves into hands-on polarity therapy to ground those insights in the body. These sessions help you attune to your cosmic blueprint and move through life with greater flow, presence, and purpose.

As both an acupuncturist and a nurse, I am able to combine my western medical knowledge with the healing modalities of Chinese medicine.  I received my Nursing degree from UNC Chapel Hill, my graduate degree in Acupuncture and Chinese medicine from Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine and my Chinese Herbal Medicine Certificate at Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts.  I continue to study, learn, and apply this medicine to best help my patients heal.
