I love walking with people along life’s journey. My greatest delight is to see those I work with find inner joy, tap into their own brilliance, and achieve success in their healing goals. My intention is to help others connect to their heart space; let go of blocks and allow for greater flow and balance. My thought is that health starts and is maintained through balance. This balance comes from all aspects of life, including our energy, diet, exercise, sleep, relationships, and lifestyle. How we handle stress is a factor which greatly influences inner and outer balance, and I love helping my patients lower their stress.
I earned my Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree from the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2005, and have been a Diplomate in Acupuncture by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) since February 2006. I am a licensed acupuncturist in the states of Colorado and Florida. My training included Chinese herbology and adjunctive therapies such as e-stem, tui na, acupressure, auriculotherapy, cupping, moxibustion, and dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Since graduating, I have been trained in many specialties like acupuncture for pregnancy and children, doula work, cosmetic acupuncture, Tai Chi and Qi Gong. I am certified in several energy healing modalities including Reconnective Healing, Matrix Energetix, and Theta. I also frequently use essential oils, sound healing, and crystals to enhance and support treatments.
A typical treatment with me combines Chinese medicine with energy work. This combination is a powerful means of reducing stress, boosting vitality, and addressing the emotional roots of imbalance. Many of my patients claim that the balance they have achieved through treatments has helped them to completely change their lives.
As a passionate teacher, I love sharing knowledge through many different kinds of classes and workshops, in order to touch those who might never consider seeing an acupuncturist or energy healer. My classes currently focus on pre-natal education, including preparing for the birthing process using acupressure.
After spending most of my life in Colorado, I am thrilled to be living in Florida – enjoying the ocean and warmth. I am happily married, and our blended family consists of five adult children, three children-in-law, and seven grandchildren. Before life as an acupuncturist, I was a software developer and analyst. It was a fun job, but I retired to follow my passion for helping people. In my free time, I love doing anything outside – walking, cycling, reading, writing, going to the beach, and even yard work!
I encourage you to explore my website and see what calls to you. If a detox session or a private session with me sounds like what you want, then schedule an appointment! If you find a workshop that sounds fun, reserve your spot. Perhaps you'd rather listen to a guided meditation - you can find those too. I look forward to meeting you and helping you live the life of your dreams!
