ABOUT ANA

Ana earned her nursing degree from Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore in 1979 and practiced in various clinical settings for 20 years before relocating to Taos in 1992. She is a graduate of Southwest Acupuncture College in Santa Fe and has been in private practice since 1996. Ana's passionate search for wellness through holistic healing inspired her to study a wide variety of natural therapeutics including many forms of bodywork, breathwork, nutritional and herbal remedies, and psycho-spiritual counseling.

Cornerstone of acupuncture practice is identifying and addressing energetic patterns of imbalance from the physical to the spiritual, according to Zang-Fu and Six Divisions diagnosis. Treatment is based on a sound understanding of both holistic and Western medical practices.

In addition to acupuncture, strong emphasis is placed on nutritional and lifestyle counseling. This includes macrobiotic, food-combining, blood-type and Chinese dietary principles. Chinese herbs and other nutritional supplements are recommended as appropriate.

Professional development in alternative healing arts includes formal study of a wide range of bodywork therapies at the Potomac Myotherapy Institute. These included Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, Shiatsu, Polarity Therapy, Reiki, and Zero Balancing.

Additional studies include Tai Chi, Iyengar Yoga and oriental dance. A balanced regime of aerobic and internal movement practices is recommended for clients, also when appropriate.
