Owner of Practice and Acupuncturist
For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by the human body's innate ability to adapt, learn, and heal. The body responds to every physical, emotional, and mental demand we place on it — trained athletes harness this, and osteoarthritic joints reveal it. Pain is a lot like stress: it's not what it is, but what you do about it.
I hold a Master of Oriental Medicine from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Oregon, and am NCCAOM Board Certified, having completed four national exams spanning both Western and Eastern medicine. During my graduate training, I published a patient case report in the Journal of Alternative, Complementary, and Integrative Medicine documenting the use of scalp electroacupuncture in the treatment of chronic spinal cord injury — a topic that continues to shape my clinical approach today.
My clinical roots run deep in community care. As an intern in Portland, I worked with Outside In and Central City Concern, serving individuals navigating homelessness, poverty, and addiction. I am also certified through the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) as an Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist. Following graduation, I spent four months in rural Nepal as a primary care provider with the Acupuncture Relief Project, treating conditions ranging from chronic pain to infectious disease.
I've now been in practice for seven years, based in my home state of Wisconsin, where I founded Orthopedic Alternatives. As both a practitioner and an athlete, I specialize in orthopedics, neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, and helping people maintain their bodies for long-term wellness.
My commitment to advanced training reflects that same philosophy. I hold certifications in Dr. Zhu's Scalp Neuro-Acupuncture (Levels 1, 2 & 3), Neuromuscular Facial and Cosmetic Acupuncture, Functional Gait Assessment, Functional Movement Systems (Levels 1 & 2), and Sports Medicine Acupuncture — the credential behind the C.SMA® designation I carry today.
