About
Nicole
Acupuncture changed my life.
I am richly blessed by the opportunities I was given to study, and now
to practice, this amazing, powerful and endlessly fascinating science
of healing. I respect its poetry, exactitude and the unique way it uses
a particular understanding of the world to guide its practices. My goal
is to provide safe, gentle and effective treatment to aid the body's
return to a state of harmony and well being. Patient education plays
a vital role in wellness and disease prevention and is an important
part of my work.
Education & Certification
I began my studies at Montana State University where I
graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology
and a minor in Music Performance. I earned my Master of Science in Oriental
Medicine through an intensive four-year program at Southwest Acupuncture
College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I continued with postgraduate work
at The International Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in
Beijing, China.
