Prior to receiving her masters degree she had over thirteen years of experience working in health care.

Sometimes Acupuncture alone is the treatment you may need. Other times an integrative approach using Chinese Herbal medicine and additional accessory techniques are added to patient care. Her respect for obtaining your goals is both her privilege and responsibility as a health care provider.

Why the name Aspen Acupuncture?

"The aspen is associated with conquering fear. It's very name 'Populs Tremula' (the trembling Poplar) hints at it's nature, as Aspen quivers with the slightest breeze, always on the move, a way of shielding oneself. The word 'aspen' comes from the Greek aspen, meaning shield. One cannot think if your head is muddled - the result will be muddled. So the old adage 'know thyself' is particularly important when doing the work. Use aspen to meditate on your shadow self and to face those inner fears. Aspen helps prevent illness and gives us strength to overcome adversity with willpower and sensitivity.


To know yourself by dealing with your own shadow side. Fear is not to be feared - but rather recognized as the opportunity to embrace our shadow selves and grow. This is the energy of the spiritual warrior. Aspen gives us the protection to master our fears. Perhaps one of the most important message aspen can bring is the setting of boundaries. To truly know yourself and your capabilities. It teaches us just how far we can bend without breaking. It is closely associated with speech, language, kinship, communication, and dispelling fear. And as Dove suggests, ever so gently. The shield is there to protect us from our thoughts, fears, and doubts when we attempt to overcome odds. Do not give in to worldly pressure. Trust your inner voice for courage and strength. The bark can be used to treat fevers and UTIs. The buds made into a salve to treat wounds and sore throats. An aspen leaf placed under the tongue helps you to be more eloquent with speech.


Truly a tree bearing many gifts."
