Lynne is a 1995 graduate of Southwest Acupuncture College in Santa Fe, NM, having completed a course of study including the theory and methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as Japanese and Five Element Acupuncture and Korean Hand Therapy. In addition to holding a Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine, Lynne has a graduate degree in Anthropology from the University of New Mexico. She is interested in how diet and environment affect our health and well-being, and works from this perspective, as the basis of Acupuncture is found in nature’s ability to undergo change and regain balance.
Lynne employs traditional diagnostic methods, such as asking questions, examining the tongue and checking her patient’s pulse to determine which patterns of disharmony require rebalancing. She is not only experienced and knowledgeable in her field, but caring and gentle in her approach. Her patients’ healing and well-being are always her goal and priority.
