Annie is a Board Certified Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and Certified Yoga Instructor. She specializes in Family Medicine and treats all ages. Her main areas of focus are body pain, nervous system regulation, digestive problems, seasonal allergies, life transitions and women’s health.
Originally from the east coast, Annie attended the University of Connecticut and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2007. During this time she worked as a Medical Assistant at a local hospital with the intention of soon going to nursing school. Caring for others, really being with them and helping them heal was her prominent goal. Once in nursing school, Annie quickly realized that would not be the career that sparked her soul and left in pursuit of what did. A year later, after much cultivating, she found herself becoming a
devoted student of yoga and dutifully dove into her year-long 200 hour yoga teacher training with Kim Valeri at Yoga Spirit Studios at Yoga for Everybody in Fairfield, Connecticut. She passionately continues to study, practice and teach yoga and meditation.
Then, in 2010, Annie took a leap to fulfill her lifelong dream of moving to California. She packed up her car and set out for San Diego to attend Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, now named Pacific College of Health and Science. During her education at Pacific College, Annie took the opportunity to study Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the hospitals of Bei Jing, where she deepened her skill set and learned valuable lessons from Masters of TCM. She graduated with her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) in August 2016.
In October of that same year, Annie moved to Eugene, Oregon. Here in Eugene, Annie owns Journeys With Annie, which serves the community through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and yoga. She currently offers treatments at A Healing Space and Radiant Health Center. Click here for hours and contact.
Blending yoga, acupuncture and Oriental Medicine comes naturally to Annie. They complement one another and Annie imbibes this. Weaved through each of her healing acupuncture treatments and classes are breath techniques, hands on adjustments and massage, meditations, aromatherapy, cranio-sacral work along with herbal, seasonal and dietary recommendations. Also a part of her treatments are cupping, gua sha and tui na. Annie’s deepest desire is to help clients find balance and vitality in their lives, and she personalizes each session to accomplish this. She enjoys getting to know each person’s life journey and being a part of their growth and wellness.
Outside of treating clients, Annie has 2 daughters and enjoys anything in the outdoors with her family. She loves to read and write, cook, make crafts and exercise.
As long as we are alive,
growth is possible.
Balance. Invigorate. Enliven.
