Born in Florida but my heart always wanted to live somewhere that actually had a winter season so I moved out here in 2015. After graduating college, serving in the Navy, and moving out West I worked for a retirement planning company for 7 years only to realize I really didn't like working for someone else. So, in 2022 I left that company and became an Independent Agent. Since then, my life has been a whirlwind of community engagement, networking events, marketing opportunities and creating a real name for myself that means something.

In 2021, I was a 25 year Corporate America veteran who turned entrepreneur when I opened WOW 1 DAY PAINTING. I have been married to my husband for 25 years, and I have a grown daughter that is a heavy duty diesel mechanic.  All the animals I have, have all been the scratch and dents at the rescues we have adopted from, and we always try to adopt the animal who is the hardest to adopt/been there the longest. I love my family/animals, whiskey, handbags, and vinyl, in that order.

With over 7 years of coaching experience and more than 4,000 one-on-one coaching sessions, I’ve had the privilege of empowering thousands of people to maximize their time, expand their leadership and sales skills, and align their actions with their life vision.

My mission is to embrace the fun dance of life — and invite others to join me in making every step meaningful and enjoyable.

I graduated from Southwest Acupuncture College with a Master of Oriental Medicine. I am certified as a Diplomate of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, as well as a licensed acupuncturist in Colorado and a member of the Acupuncture Association of Colorado. I am also a Nationally Certified Chinese Herbalist.

I trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine along with the Balance Method taught by Dr. Richard Tan. The Balance Method is effective in treating pain, OB/GYN, digestive complaints, insomnia, and general wellness. Dr. Richard Tan was a third-generation, Taiwanese acupuncturist. My training included more than 3,000 hours of education and over 1,000 hours of clinical practice.

I studied in China and received a certificate from the Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine Hospital located in Harbin, China. I studied in inpatient and outpatient departments such as Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Rehabilitation, Orthopedics, Dermatology, Tuina, Cardiovascular, and Neurology.

I chose acupuncture because I value treating the body as a whole, treating each patient as an individual, and treating the root of my patient’s problems. I strongly believe in the benefit of preventative medicine and the importance of keeping my patients in a state of good health.

Before getting my master's degree and becoming an acupuncturist, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a concentration in Mental Health Counseling and worked as a social worker.
