I have been providing health care in Montana since 1982 after graduating from the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My first practice, Bitterroot Natural Therapeutics was located in Missoula where I offered therapeutic massage, polarity therapy, reflexology, Bach flower remedies, iridology, nutrition and colonics.
During my time in Missoula I attended the University of Montana to acquire the pre-med requirements for licensing as an acupuncturist. Upon passing the exam and licensing requirements of the Montana Board of Medical Examiners I earned my acupuncture license in 1985. I continued my studies in China at the Hei Long Jiang college of TCM in Harbin and at Chengdu University, in Chengdu.
