Susannah’s journey in natural medicine began in her teens with the study of nutrition. After earning a Bachelor’s degree with Honors in Environmental Studies, she taught ecology in the National Parks while deepening her knowledge of nutrition, massage therapy, yoga, and meditation. In 1994, she completed her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. For over 30 years, she has been a Nationally Certified and State Licensed Acupuncturist, continually expanding her expertise through advanced education and clinical practice.

My story is one I hear echoed by many of our patients: a childhood filled with care and opportunity, yet shadowed by an unexplained sense of dis-ease. Despite a healthy lifestyle, I struggled with years of fatigue and pain, dismissed by lab results that declared me "fine." Conventional medicine treated my symptoms but never the root cause—until I discovered an integrative approach. Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, mindful nutrition, and self-inquiry, I reclaimed my vitality.

Healing wasn’t a single miracle cure but a tapestry of insights—professional guidance, detailed lab work, and a commitment to listening to my body. Now, when illness or injury arises, I have the tools to restore balance. It’s this hard-won wisdom that fuels my gratitude and dedication to serving our community.

It’s my deepest honor to walk this path with you.
