DANCING TURTLE ACUPUNCTURE
"Be good to yourself. If you don't take care of your body where will you live?"


OUR PHILOSOPHY
“It is our goal to fulfill the holistic medical needs of our community by providing a comforting environment for people to heal their bodies, nourish their spirit, and receive thoughtful, kind and highly skilled acupuncture services.”
How we started...
"My journey to become a practitioner of Chinese Medicine began as it has for many, by having a profound first hand experience with Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. My interest in health and medicine began as far back as childhood supported by a keen curiosity for the 'unknown'. My undergraduate degree in Psychology with minors in Health Science, Sociology, and Anthropology prepared me well for pursuing my dream of becoming an acupuncturist. With a background of working in public schools, therapeutic wilderness programs, hospitals and health stores, I've seen the transformative influences of nature on our health as well as the necessity of a true healer to be willing to 'take the journey' with the patient in order to guide them to their highest level of healing."
