Master of Acupuncture (3,384 hours/792 clinic hours)
My interests at the time were scalp acupuncture, Japanese acupuncture, and, well, anything I could learn. I really enjoyed all the modalities that we studied in depth in school. After getting my Masters of Acupuncture I moved to Alaska and started practicing. I have a varied background in multiple modalities and truly enjoy working with all people who are ready and willing to do what it takes to heal.
