My Story

An integrative approach to care

My work is grounded in the belief that meaningful care begins by listening to the whole person—not just focusing on an isolated symptom.

Before becoming an acupuncturist, I spent nearly two decades working as a registered nurse, including experience in critical care and emergency medicine. This background shaped my understanding of complex health concerns, the importance of individualized care, and the need to feel heard and supported throughout the healing process.

My path into acupuncture grew from an interest in integrative approaches to health and the ways traditional therapies can complement conventional medicine.

I am a Licensed Acupuncturist, Registered Nurse, Certified Nutrition Therapist, and Certified Mayan Abdominal Therapist through the Abdominal Therapy Collective.

I previously operated a full-time acupuncture practice in Colorado's San Luis Valley before bringing Amethyst Acupuncture to the Denver area. Today, my practice combines Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, Mayan Abdominal Therapy, and complementary techniques to support people navigating pain, digestive concerns, menstrual health, stress, and ongoing wellness needs.

My approach

I aim to create a space where you can slow down, feel listened to, and participate actively in your care.

Treatment is collaborative and individualized, informed by your health history, lived experience, and goals. I value the role of both traditional healing practices and modern healthcare, and I believe they can work alongside one another when appropriate.

My goal is to help you feel more connected to your body and supported in your health journey.
