I am an acupuncturist and business owner at Cannon River Acupuncture in downtown Northfield. I grew up in a small river town called Hannibal Missouri. I grew up reading Mark Twain.  I moved to Minnesota in 1998 to work in a research lab at the Mayo Clinic. I went to college at the University of Minnesota at Mankato in 2004 and then went on to finish my masters degree in Acupununcture and Traditional Chinese Medicine at Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2008. My partner, myself and our two dogs Fred, and Spike moved to Northfield so I could open up my solo practice acupuncture clinic.
