Hello! My name is Barbara...

I have been a Licensed Acupuncturist since July of 1997. I am a co-owner and founder of TriNatural Healthcare. Originally, I am from Michigan but I have lived in the Portland/Vancouver area since 1991. Prior to being an acupuncturist, I worked as a Certified Athletic Trainer in clinical and collegiate settings, an assistant professor teaching wellness and sciences, and as a wellness consultant to municipalities, colleges and businesses. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Sports Medicine (Central Michigan University, 1984), a Master’s of Science Degree in Exercise Physiology (University of Florida, 1987), and a Master’s of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, 1997). This particular educational mix and experience makes me uniquely qualified to work successful on injuries and pain . 

 

I am a friendly, fun-loving person. My hobbies include jogging, bird watching, and playing the guitar. I enjoy spending time with my friends and always have a great jokes to share.
