OUR TEAM
Joe – Aupuncturist
Joe has studied Qigong, Taijiquan & Eastern philosophy and Religion since 2001when he began his own interest in the Asian Healing arts. Joe began his search in Lincoln, NE where he met his very first Taijiquan & Qigong teacher William Kingery. Joe became an “indoor student” of Bill Kingery’s learning about Tai Chi, Qigong and Internal Martial Arts studying weekly at Bill’s own home for nearly 4 years. It was about this time that Joe found out that he could learn to do Chinese Medicine in Colorado and moved to Colorado the following year and began his 4 year Master of Sciences program in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine (CSTCM).
At CSTCM Joe was on Honor roll, worked on promoting Chinese Medicine at the Dragon Boat Festival held Yearly at Sloan Lake, was Co-founder of the Internal Arts Club and worked with much of the faculty being a student liaison for his class. Even during his Master’s program Joe sought more knowledge and started doing a student apprenticeship with the late Ron “Doc” Rosen.
Joe started training with “Doc” in his second year of school and would spend everyday at “Doc’s” Asian Medicine Clinic learning Classical Chinese Medicine. “Doc” was the very first Licensed Acupuncturist in the State of Colorado, studied Chinese Medicine for 53 years and developed GUAMAP and the Street Medics. Joe learned much from his time with “Doc” until his untimely passing in summer of 2007.
Through school and apprenticeships, Joe still maintained his desire to heal and started studying Tien Tao meditation system, Kundalini work, Energy Healing and Shamanism with Master Craig Carpenter. After studying with Master Carpenter since 2005 with years of diligent work, seminars and Personal instruction Joe has been promoted to Guide Status within Tien Tao allowing him, to be one of the only ones teaching some of this Ancient Meditation healing system.
After graduation, Joe did another apprenticeship learning Japanese Style Acupuncture with Jeffrey Dann Ph.D. L.Ac. where he apprenticed for another year. During this time Joe was also accepted back to CSTCM where he was Head Instructor for Tui Na (Chinese Massage) and an assistant to senior faculty members, as well as Assistant Supervisor in student clinic.

Crystal – Aupuncturist
Crystal found her way to acupuncture through her own healing journey. After going through a major surgery and experiencing a long difficult healing process, she was introduced to natural healing for the first time. It was the spark that eventually led her to become a natural healer.
She began her education at Front Range Community College, with a focus on Holistic Health and Energy Medicine. Being in a group of healers had a profound effect upon her and she soon knew that she had found her tribe. For the first time in her life she was given space to express her intuition and empathy, she flourished.
She became a certified Reflexologist as well as an energetic healer in the arts of Reiki, Jin Shin, Healing Touch, and Bach remedies. She also is experienced in Biofeedback, using SCIO, Indigo, and LifeSystems.
Then she was introduced to acupuncture. She was a huge skeptic at first and eastern healing methods challenged her belief system. It only took one treatment to change her mind and set her on a path to become an acupuncturist.
She earned her Master’s degree in Acupuncture from South West Acupuncture, in Boulder, Colorado. There, she became passionate about TCM, Oriental bodywork, and energetic techniques, such as Qi Gong, and I Ching.
After the incredible joy of getting to stay home and raise three wonderful sons, she now focuses on bringing the gift of healing to others.
