About the Practioner

Colleen discovered the benefits of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine as a skeptical patient searching for pain relief from a back injury. After a number of successful years as a patient, her respect and admireation for the medicine evolved into a passion to learn more. She returned to school in pursuit of knowledge and a Master of Science in Oreiental Medicine Degree – the culmination of over 3,000 hours of classroom and clinical experience. Colleen also attened a variety of seminars and workshops covering such diverse subjects as Facial Rejumenation, Pediatrics, Post-Tramatic Stress Disourders and Nicotine, Alcohol adn Drug Addictions.

During a career in media that spanned more then 20 years, Colleen observed a wide range of human behavior, which helped to establish a foundation for her clinical observation skills. As a reporter and interviewer, she learned how to get to the heart of the issue and glean insights into what really made a person “tick” — all the while creating a sense of non-threatening intimacy.

Her love of community involvement has led to her ongoing participation in Acupuncturists Without Borders and incorporating techniques into her practice that have proven to be effective in the aftermath of trauma and large-scale disasters.

Colleen is certified by NCCAOM and licensed in Colorado with all required insurance and business licenses for practice in the state of South Dakota.
