I always knew I wanted to pursue a profession in the health area and to support the personal development of myself and others, but was unsure of where exactly I wanted to focus my energies. About 15 years ago, I received acupuncture from a master TCM practioner in Denver and had the remarkable experience of being "levitated" off the table during a treatment. It was the most fascinating and healing experience of my life and I knew I had to learn more about it, but at that time, acupuncture was not readily accepted by many westerners, so I pursued a more traditional degree in Human Services, but realized that was not where my passion lied. With the support of my family and friends, I decided to immerse myself in the study of acupuncture and chinese medicine and have not looked back. I received my MSTCM in 2003 from the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and have been practicing TCM for the past 5 years. Initially, I worked at a clinic that provided both western and eastern medicine; then a year ago, I made the decision to move out on my own and open a private practice in order to provide more individualized and personalized services to my clients. New Day Acupuncture was born and is the love of my life.
