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.
When the first approved doctoral level program in acupuncture and Oriental medicine was established in 2003 at the Oregon College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, I attended the two-year program, earning a doctorate in 2005. I have been practicing in the Flathead Valley since 1986 when I moved to Bigfork.

Gathering this information enables the practitioner to effectively diagnose and detect any specific imbalances of Qi that may have contributed to a persons health problems.
The practitioner can then create a well-structured treatment plan.
Once the imbalances of Qi are detected, an acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints along meridian pathways.
