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 Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). 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.
