In 1998 I injured my rotator cuff snowboarding. This injury introduced me to the healing power and benefits of acupuncture and bodywork. My shoulder healed extremely well with little pain, and I also became a more relaxed and healthier person from the regular acupuncture and bodywork. Thus, in 1999 I decided to attend the Utah College of Massage Therapy. I received one year of training to become a certified massage therapist and completed the Structural Integration career track for a total of 1195 hours. Since 1999, I have worked extensively with acute and chronic injuries and I have been educated in a variety of modalities venturing into the world of energy medicine. In 2006, I began training in Zero Balancing at the Esalen Institute, and I am currently a certified Zero Balancer. In 2013, I graduated with a Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Emperor’s Colleges of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, CA with over 3000 hours of training in acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Coming home to Utah to start my practice and share what I have learned about the healing arts is a true joy for me. I believe that “dis-ease” and imbalance in the body can be a gift that brings greater awareness to an individual and with it greater health. With a variety of modalities and a combined knowledge of Eastern and Western medicine, my goal is to facilitate and support an individual’s healing process to bring about homeostasis and an overall feeling of well- being. I wish to help facilitate a shift towards wellness by looking at the whole person: body, mind and spirit. Acupuncture and bodywork have supported me through all of my healing processes over the years, and I wish to share what I have learned with my patients.
In 2023, I completed an advanced yoga teacher training focused on the ancient meditation and asana practices of Tantric yoga. I began these practices on my own in 2018 and have had many healing experiences and wanted to share this component with my patients. Since completing my training, I have been able to add private yoga therapy to my repertoire.
