Where Healing Art Meets Healing Science!

 

 

 

Joan graduated from nursing school in 1987 and was credentialed, in Wisconsin, as a Registered Nurse.  After extensive experience in hospitals, nursing homes and clinics, she sensed that she was nursing only parts of a person, dealing with the symptoms of disease rather than the disease itself.  She became interested in various forms of integrated healing to augment patient care.  She explored the many options related to health care and became a member of the American Holistic Nurses' Association.

She returned to school and earned a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine. She studied and received certification at The Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China in November 2002. 

Joan is licensed in both Maryland and Wisconsin to practice Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.
