(Licensed Acupuncturist)
My career path as a licensed acupuncturist began in Atlanta, Georgia where I attended a small liberal arts college for my undergraduate studies. After graduation I sought out the calming and healing temperament of the Hawaiian islands and was happy to call Maui my home for a few years. It was during this time that I had my first acupuncture treatment for an acute neck injury. Immediately after the insertion of the first few needles, I felt an energetic change within my body and was hooked. I knew in my heart that I had found my calling. After the treatment was over, I asked the practitioner for an introductory book on Chinese Medicine and began my journey to becoming a professional healer.
After two years of preparation I embarked on my graduate studies at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Oregon. I received a first-class education in Chinese Oriental Medicine which includes acupuncture, herbal theory, meditation, and massage techniques. I have also done extensive postgraduate study in Japanese acupuncture, a style that utilizes palpation in both diagnosis and treatment. Through my studies I ultimately learned to become a facilitator in health, using my knowledge and skills to help others reach their potential.
I am supported by a husband and two kids who remind me to laugh every day. I consider myself to be an athlete, spending my youth on the soccer field and in adulthood accomplishing triathlete races and doing trail runs when I can. I also enjoy gardening and spending time with family and friends.
