My acupuncture journey has been blessed beyond measure by the amazing guides who have come before me. My initial introduction to acupuncture was with Zhongyang Linda Liu, a 4th generation Phd of acupuncture from Xinjiang, China. At the time I was in a wheelchair from a military injury and at the end of my rope having tried everything the VA offered. She saved my life by getting me out of the wheelchair, and off the pain medication. She gave me a new life by instructing me as her apprentice for 2 years. After completing my western medical training in the MN state program I attended AAAOM for my formal masters in Acupuncture and Oriental medicine.
All my professors there were PHD’s from China, most of them coming from long family traditions. When I was focused on cosmetic acupuncture I was honored to assist the founder of Constitutional Facial Acupuncture on stage at Northwestern Health Science Universities Great River Symposium. When I began working on my doctorate (still incomplete) I was trained by Baoku Liu PhD L.Ac (New York) in scar tissue release techniques. Dr. Lui is one of 3 people certified to teach these techniques. I was trained by some of the best acupuncturists in the world and like them, I aspire to bring the knowledge, healing and grace I’ve been taught to you, while you journey through your road to health.
