I have been on a lifelong journey of learning. I started out life as a geologist and a martial artist. Both of these led naturally and unequivocally to the healing arts...looking for holistic balance and wellness in all things. So when I had the opportunity to take early retirement from my academic job as a geologist, and sold my martial arts business, I put myself back in school to get a degree in Oriental Medicine. I came to Wyoming once I graduated, because I was getting in on the ground floor of the acupuncture licensing process in the State and also moving to an under-served community that lives close to nature.

In a nutshell then, I was drawn to the healing arts because I seek balance and wellness for myself and those around me. I want to be of service, in a compassionate and understanding environment that looks at each client as a whole person and as an integral part of the environment in which we move.
