Aimee, an Iowa native, received her Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Iowa State University. Through family health challenges she was drawn to holistic medicine and made the commitment to further her education in order to help others. Learning Neuropuncture mechanisms, principles, and electro-acupuncture techniques developed by Dr. Michael Corradino is her clinical focus. Aimee is excited about acupuncture as it is neuroscience and electro acupuncture has been clinically researched as superior to manual acupuncture.
