I have worked in health care for nearly 20 years. 

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and have been a Registered Nurse for over 15 years.  I have worked in medical, surgical, oncology (cancer), in-patient hospice care, and most recently in obstetrics, delivering babies.  Nursing is a great career.  It is what I always thought I wanted to do.  At some point, though, I began to realize it was not a perfect fit for me.

Ten years ago, I stumbled upon acupuncture almost by accident.  Very skeptical, I found myself in an acupuncturist’s office for some personal health issues that my doctors had been unable to manage well.  This was my last resort before having surgery I did not want.  I did not understand what acupuncture was, or what the treatment would entail.  A year later, I was off all medications, no longer needed the surgery, and felt better than I had in a decade.  For me, this was the missing piece, personally and professionally. 

I now have my Master’s Degree in Chinese Acupuncture Studies from the New England School of Acupuncture.  I have passed the National Clean Needle Technique Course, and I am a certified Diplomate in Acupuncture with The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.   I am a Licensed Acupuncturist in the state of NH, and a member of the NH Acupuncture and Asian Medicine Association.

I enjoy being able to put my nursing experience to work in my acupuncture practice.
