Like so many folks in Denver, Adrienne is not a Colorado native, but she is happy to call this sunny state and its awe-inspiring mountains home. Her love of learning, travel, and tai chi are rivaled only by her love for her wonderful family. Adrienne earned her Master's of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at the Academy of Oriental Medicine in Austin, Texas. She is a licensed acupuncturist in Colorado and a nationally board certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine. Since 2010, DCA has been like a second home to Adrienne, and the other practitioners and patients, a second family. She has seen so many patients change, heal, and grow over time and she gets as much pleasure from seeing old familiar faces as she does meeting new ones. As an acupuncturist and herbalist, she is grateful for the opportunity to share this powerful medicine with the DCA community. Adrienne has a special interest in treating stress and anxiety, structural imbalances, immune deficiencies, digestive disorders, and women’s health conditions related to pregnancy support and hormonal imbalances.
Guasha is a traditional Chinese bodywork therapy in which the practitioner gently scrapes the skin surface to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and aid in chronic pain conditions. It is most often performed on the back but it can also be applied to other parts of the body.
