I was pretty skeptical but I actually felt like one giant ache walking out of the treatment room that first time and it convinced me that this acupuncture stuff really worked! After a few visits my neck and shoulder pain got better, and with continued treatment so did the chronic headaches that had plagued me for most of my life. When I decided it was time to make a career change from working at the lab, I went to acupuncture school because of the profound change acupuncture had on my quality of life.

At Southwest Acupuncture College I specialized in sports acupuncture, taking classes in orthopedic anatomy, trigger point acupuncture, and sports medicine acupuncture. I completed a clinical internship at the University of Colorado treating collegiate runners, volleyball players, and basketball players as well as other athletes. I also completed three sports medicine specific clinical rotations at the school clinic. The majority of my continuing education has been focused on orthopedic or sports medicine acupuncture including a 3-day seminar on just the neck!

As both an acupuncturist and a scientist, I am constantly educating myself on the latest research and techniques. To that end I have become certified in Functional Movement Techniques including RockTape kinesiology taping, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), and dynamic and static cupping. I am also trained in EXSTORE assessment, motor point acupuncture, trigger point acupuncture (dry needling), acupoint injection therapy, and am certified as a personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise.

I am a Colorado native who loves to dance, knit, make jam, garden, and hang out with my cats and chickens. I have a Master’s in Biomedical Sciences from Colorado State University and taught Western Pathology as an Associate Professor at Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder. I am a member of the Colorado Acupuncture Medical Reserve Corps, an organization of acupuncturists who volunteer their time and skills during disaster response, critical incidents, and community events. I also work with Healing Warriors where I provide acupuncture to veterans and their families, working primarily on anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. I have recently taken a position as a board member for the Acupuncture Association of Colorado.
