Knowing that I am here to help others heal from a young age, I have always been studious of all things Nourishing to Body-Mind & Spirit. Maxing-out the available science in high-school I began independent studies in Biochemistry & Neurology, Genetics, and Yoga. This lead to a rigorous undergraduate pre-med education at Western Washington University where I graduated with a BA in Biology - Human emphasis, with minors in Chemistry and German. Began studying the Western Herbalist tradition during my sophomore year, & in this process I became increasingly disillusioned about the current lack of holistic approach to Healthcare in medical schooling today. Taking a year off to investigate, I discovered the Oldest Continuous Medical Paradigm on the planet: Eastern Medicine, inclusive of Acupuncture, Bodywork, Diet, Meditation & Exercise. This lead to my graduating from the Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Seattle, where I discovered the deleterious effects of city-living for sensitive individuals. Moving back to the Wenatchee Valley in 2004 I have been building a Holistic Healing Practice ever since.
