Ann graduated from Bastyr University in
North Seattle with a Masters in
Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She
is a licensed Acupuncturist (EAMP, LAC)
with the State of Washington and is
NCCAOM board certified. While attending
Bastyr, Ann treated many patients in a
variety of settings, including
Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and
several community low-income clinics
around the city. Ann has found a depth
and complexity that she treasures in the
practice of this medicine. Her studies
consisted of supervised clinical
training over the course of three and a
half years in which she provided both
acupuncture treatments and Chinese
Herbal consultations. Ann was fortunate
enough to spend the last three months of
her studies in China. There she finished
her clinical education observing
physicians at Shanghai’s Shu Guang
Hospital and attending seminars. She
considers the time that she spent in
China invaluable to her development as a
practitioner.
Ann believes that it is important to
respect each patient as an individual
and design a treatment plan that works
for them. She thinks that it is
imperative that patients understand
their treatment and thinks that an
important part of her job is education.
Ann believes in the elegance of simple,
gentle acupuncture treatments. She
strives to ensure that patients find her
treatments both effective and relaxing.
To this end, Ann has additional training
in massage and acutonics. Depending upon
the patient and what is indicated, she
often uses a mixture of treatment
styles.
When Ann is not in the clinic, she
enjoys riding her bike, gardening and
playing with her two dogs.
