I began a healthcare career over 40 years ago. First by attending to the elderly as a nursing assistant. Then as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in an acute rehabilitation setting educating patients and assisting in their recovery. Following a health crisis at age 28, I searched for answers to restore my health and found the healing power of herbs.
I then studied CranioSacral Therapy through Upledger Institute after seeing the profound effect it had on my second child's recovery after an auto accident. Completing CST1, CST2, SER1, SER2, Brain1, Brain 2, teacher assist CST1,CST2 and have been a support therapist in multiple comprehensive therapy programs.
There I fell in love with acupuncture and have since completed my Bachelors in Science at Empire State College, Master's Level Diploma in Acupuncture at the Eastern School of Acupuncture and Traditional Medicine and recieved my doctorate in acupuncture and herbal medicine (DAHM) from Daoist Traditions College of Medical Arts in NC. I am currently Licensed in Pennsylvania, and I am Nationally Certified by the NCCAOM as a Diplomate of Acupuncture.
I am Certified in Aroma Freedom Technique and use essential oils to facilitate a deeper inner awareness which can assist in removing emotional blocks to physical healing.
Heart Centered Therapy is a modality I use to give clarity to patterns that may be negatively affecting your life. "Assume only Love" A.C.
I am ordained in the Order of Melchizedek. This is a non-denominational, non-judgemental order based in love. No preaching, just teaching As above...so below. We are all sacred, we are all equal, no greater, no lesser.
