About Me
I grew up on the east coast and always assumed I'd stay geographically close to my tight knit family. As it turned out, friend convinced me to move to Steamboat "for a year" and here I am - over twenty years later!
While I was first drawn to the mountains and outdoor activities Steamboat has to offer, it's the sense of community and friendships/family I have built here that keeps me anchored in the West (while staying true to my roots back East).
My acupuncture studio is located in downtown Steamboat Springs, and I've been serving our local community for over 14 years. I understand the stresses of modern life and the toll it takes on our mind, body, and spirit. I have treated thousands of conditions and know how to treat your daily aches and pains, stresses, and imbalances.
In my free time I love to travel, walk, hike, camp and spend time with friends and family. I'm honored to work in a profession that I love and I'm committed to continuing my education, staying up to date on the latest treatments and maintaining the highest standard of safe and effective healing.
My husband and I love raising our 2 kids in a place where they can walk or bike to friends' houses and their daily activities and generally just enjoy the freedom that comes with small town living.

My Philosophy
I am dedicated to providing a holistic healing experience that combines the healing power of acupuncture with the philosophy that healing comes from within. With over 14 years of experience as a licensed acupuncturist and a commitment to individualized care and attention, I am able to develop tailored treatment strategies that will help my clients take steps toward achieving optimal mental, physical and emotional well-being. I have treated everything from minor injuries to life-threatening illnesses and while patient care is my primary focus I deeply value the relationships I've created with many clients (now friends) whom I've been seeing regularly since I first started my practice.
