I had the privilege of training with one of the foremost experts in Classical Five Element Acupuncture,
Hilary Skellon, at the Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture in Louisville, Colorado. As an acupuncturist licensed
in the state of Colorado, I am a Diplomate in Acupuncture, awarded by the National Council for the Certification of Acupuncturists.
I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I am a certified massage therapist,
graduating from Boulder College of Massage Therapy, and a certified neuromuscular therapist.
I have been in private practice in Fort Collins, Colorado since 1993. I have a background in teaching yoga
and dance to children and adults with disabilities. I find Five Element Acupuncture endlessly fascinating, I respect its poetry,
exactitude, and the unique way it uses an understanding of the natural world to guide its practices.
