ABOUT ISAAC

I am a Colorado state licensed acupuncturist and board-certified herbalist. I hold a Diploma of Oriental Medicine from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, as well as a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College.

​As an acupuncturist, I help people get in touch with their bodies, and reinforce the self-healing process.
​To affect change, I utilize the five branches of Chinese Medicine:
  1. Acupuncture and Moxibustion
  2. Herbal Medicine
  3. Massage and Bodywork
  4. Lifestyle and Dietary Management
  5. Qigong and Exercise
Upon first reading "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" in grade-school I fervently began practicing zen-style meditation. This was followed by starting to study taijiquan and qigong - during my undergraduate education. In 2010 I received a liberal arts degree with an emphasis in "Holistic Studies and the Sonic Arts" from the University of Redlands: Johnston Center for Integrative Studies.  As the eldest child of a nationally-recognized pediatric dermatologist and a world-renound immunologist, I was inspired to begin my acupuncture training at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago during the autumn of 2012. I completed my internship in the spring of 2016, participating in notable specialty clinics including Tui-Na (Chinese Medical Massage), Sports Medicine, Boulder County AIDS Project, and Oncology. In the course of my medical education I also became very familiar with acupuncture treatment methods based on theories of Taoist Inner-Alchemy, as well as medicinal strategies encapsulated in the concepts of Classical Chinese Medicine and characterized by texts such as the "Shanghan Lun," the "Jingui Yaolue," and the "Huangdi Neijing Suwen Lingshu." 

My first two years of practice after receiving a license was spent working at a busy community-style acupuncture clinic in Fort Collins. There I had the opportunity to treat many people at once - the experience impressed upon me an imperative of applying Eastern Medicine on a larger scale. Now providing healthcare services in private practice, my momentum is defined by a commitment to community healing.


Throughout my life I have been intrigued when examining polar opposites - exemplified now by the terms "yin and yang" - often discovering apparent oppositions to be based on a reality of mutual interdependence. These insights prove particularly relevant to healing trauma and disease, as engaging with qigong and acupuncture helps to integrate the seemingly chaotic multiplicity of conscious states with concurrent body processes. In addition to providing health management, I work to empower individuals toward becoming more aware and active in the process of personal development.

(There are many ways a person can connect holistically to the mind-body experience.)

The importance of holistic healthcare has been reiterated time and again to me through daily encounters with people managing debilitating health conditions. I have made a commitment to live as a healer of the community devoted toward helping every person find balance, progress, and wellness.
I welcome everyone to visit me for acupuncture and herbal medicine, in addition to integrative treatment packages with Open Mind Holistics' art therapist, Sarah Klein.
