Summary

As a self-employed Acupuncturist/Massage Therapist, I significantly enhanced patient satisfaction and clinic revenue through innovative marketing and personalized care. Skilled in pain management and relationship building, I fostered a loyal client base and maintained high cleanliness standards, contributing to a thriving practice with positive reviews and increased referrals. In 2022, I moved from Denver to Littleton, closing my business doors but kept some loyal clients who see me at my home. I'm ready to return to work part-time, away from home with a new company or space. Massage Therapy has been my purpose. I enjoy helping alleviate pain and feeling better. It's time to find a second home away from home with good people who feel the same as I.

Certification in Trauma Studies, licensed EMT

I became an EMT in 2017: worked ambulance service and at  Boulder Community Hospital during the pandemic. Emergency Medicine became an interest of mine when I was first on scene to a fatal motorcycle accident. I knew at that moment, that I needed to learn life saving skills, should I ever be in that position again. I enrolled and graduated from the Community College of Aurora, becoming licensed after taking a rigorous exam. Emergency Medicine has been a secondary love of mine and have been grateful for it - especially during the peak of Covid where all Acupuncture and Massage businesses were shut down. Another interest of mine has been Complex Post Traumatic Disorder. Within the past two years, I became certified in Trauma Studies and learned how the body holds trauma. There are a multitude of modalities that help treat the body's response and release the internalized trauma. I've implemented some of these within my current practice, finding them very useful and effective.
