About me

About meI was born and raised in a small town in Ohio. As a single parent, it took many years to finish my undergrad at the University of Akron. Many years! Massage therapy school opened up our lives as I then could work from home and continue my education. After my child left for college, I moved to Anchorage Alaska and that is the first place that I experienced licensed Naturopathic Doctors and had my first acupuncture session. I was hooked! 6 years of grad school in Arizona and then I returned to my hometown of Orrville, Ohio to help guide the people there to better health.

What You Can Expect On Your First VisitThe first visit is 90 minutes long AND includes a free acupuncture session. We will talk about everything; physical, emotional, and spiritual as they are all part of overall health. Our office is friendly and comfortable and our main focus is you! Every patient is different. If I have 2 patients with the exact same 'diagnosis', they may be treated completely differently because I treat people, not their disease. I work with the physiology of the body, not the symptoms of disease.

My InspirationMy dad was a chiropractor and I was a massage therapist prior to medical and acupuncture school. My daughter though is who inspired me to become a healer. I was a single parent and nutrition was never on my radar.
