About Colleen

My journey as a health care provider began with my own health issues as a result of taking 15 courses of antibiotics in a single year, subsequently becoming very ill. Acupuncture and nutrition were immensely helpful to my healing and I decided to become a practitioner, enrolling in Chinese Medical School, which began my rewarding career of helping others. 

Education stuff: I earned my MA/Master of Oriental Medicine degree from Yo San University in Los Angeles, CA in 1998. I’m a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (NM), a Licensed Acupuncturist (CA), a Nationally Certified Diplomate of Acupuncture (NCCAOM), and a Nationally Certified Diplomate of Chinese Herbology (NCCAOM). My undergraduate degree in Psychology is from UC Santa Barbara.

Over the years I’ve studied and gathered other healing tools, via extensive apprenticeships in Functional Medicine, muscle testing/dowsing, aromatherapy, sacred geometry, energy healing, and the emotional issues related to illness.   I also discovered that my natural intuitive abilities have added to the potency of my work.  BodyIntuitive is a powerful modality combining traditional Chinese medicine, the science of Epigenetics, emotions and more to deeply heal.

I love hiking in the beautiful high deserts of Santa Fe with my dog and rollerskating at any and all opportunity.

My passion is helping highly sensitive people heal from chronic illness and become their best selves! It would be my honor and joy to assist you.  Because this world needs you.  Very much.
