My formal training in classical Chinese medicine was transmitted directly to me by the esteemed Taoist master and 88th generation practitioner Jeffrey C. Yuen of the jade purity and dragon gate lineage. I apprenticed with the commonwealth herbal program in Boston mastering dietary therapy and western herbal medicine.  I worked toward a Masters of Public Health at the University of Arizona (with a specialty in international medicine and maternal and child health), where my continued focus was in the areas of epidemiology, nutrition, environmental health, physiology, and psychology.  I am licensed to practice acupuncture by the states of Utah and New York and I am a board certified diplomate of acupuncture as conferred by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).  My Masters of Science in acupuncture is from the Swedish Institute of Health Sciences in New York City. 

I have had the great privilege of teaching as a professor at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (New York), as well as in programs focused on integrating acupuncture into mainstream medicine at both the University Paris xi Faculte de Medecine Paris-sud (Paris, France), and at the Wu Ming Dao Healing Center (Moscow, Russia).

I am a warm-hearted, curiosity-driven practitioner who believes real healing happens when ancient wisdom and modern science work together. With a Master’s in Human Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health (MUIH), a Clinical Herbalist certification from the East West School of Planetary Herbalism, and firsthand training in Chinese hospitals, I know how to tackle complex cases from multiple angles. I’m also certified in Women’s Integrative & Functional Medicine and Pediatric Classical Chinese Medicine.

Fueled by my own journey raising four children, I have spent over two decades helping women uncover the root causes behind hormone imbalances, fatigue, and other health challenges—because nobody deserves to be told “it’s all in your head.” My ultimate goal? To build a lasting legacy of gentle, effective healing that future generations can rely on.

I earned my Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, CO, in 2010, and have since cultivated a diverse and enriching career. Licensed to practice in both Colorado and Utah, I began my journey by founding my own practice in Aspen, CO, before relocating to Sweden, where I practiced for five years. In 2015, I had the privilege of spending seven months in Bali, where I served as the master in-house acupuncturist at the Four Seasons Hotel. Seeking to further expand my expertise, I spent the last seven years working in two integrative, functional, and regenerative medicine clinics in Park City, Utah. Outside of my practice, I am drawn to the natural world, finding joy in camping, paddleboarding, skiing, and connecting with animals. My path has been one of continuous learning and deepening my connection to both the healing arts and the beauty of nature.
