My first career after college was as a Registered Veterinary Technician.  I love animals and wanted to care for them in their times of need, and to be a voice for them when they didn't have one.   I have worked with many interesting species including dogs, cats, primates, hawks, parrots, alpacas, snakes, turtles, rodents and so many others!  My favorite task as a Registered Veterinary Technician was performing anesthesia for surgeries.  I took lots of continuing education credits for exotic small animal anesthesia because they are delicate little creatures and were fun to work with.  I did this for over 10 years all the while dabbling in herbal studies and natural medicine.  I studied Celtic herbalism through a correspondence course from Kildare, Ireland.  

I decided to make my hobby into a living.  I graduated with a Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and a Tui Na certificate from the Arizona School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2012.  

I graduated from a 4-year program condensed into 3 years of full-time study and internship with completion of 3,146 total hours.  During school, I had a special interest in peripheral neuropathy due to chemotherapy and radiation treatment and wrote my Master's Project describing my findings and treatments implemented on my patients with such conditions.

​

During my time in acupuncture school, I was introduced to the powerful, yet subtle healing modality of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.  Heidi Wilson's CST level 1 was part of our school curriculum, and I have continued studying Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy ever since. 

​

I trained in Sedona, AZ. in Usui Reiki Ryoho levels 1 and 2 in 2010.  I attained level 3 and Master Teacher Degree in 2020 in Cleveland, OH.

I am grateful for having the experience of treating many children of all ages at the pain clinic at Nationwide Children's Hospital.  Acupuncture is amazing for children and there are many needle-free options for them!  I also gained experience working at holistic veterinary hospitals and have literally seen miracles happen before my eyes!

​

I am very blessed that I do what I love for a living.  I deeply enjoy connecting and getting to know everyone I work with; I always treat my patients as the individual they are.  People describe me with a compassionate and kind disposition which my patients appreciate.  

Currently, I see patients in Streetsboro, Ohio.  I have a special interest in treating pain maintenance and women's health issues.
