I grew up in Dallas, Texas and received my formal training in Chinese Medicine at the Colorado School for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Denver, CO. Prior to going to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) school I worked in Western medicine for 30 years: 20 in the field of plastic surgery, administratively and as a surgical scrub and 10 in Internal Medicine. Additionally, I studied interior design in California in the 90's. I am nationally certified by NCCAOM and licensed in the state of Colorado. My practice focuses on anti-aging and chronic conditions of all kinds.
Bringing all these interests together, I have been passionately teaching cosmetic acupuncture since 2003 and teach a system called Cosmetic Rejuvenation Acupuncture.
Co-author of "You Don't Need Botox! Defy Aging the Natural Healthy Way", I am dedicated to emphasizing another perception of "beauty" to the general public.
My goal in my practice is to empower patients to be their own healers through education in self-care.
