Cassandra is a Licensed Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Physician with a Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAcOM) from the Arizona School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She is dedicated to providing thoughtful, effective, and individualized care, blending classical wisdom with modern clinical practice to support long-term healing.

 

Her clinical focus includes the treatment of chronic illness (fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, and other complex chronic conditions), chronic pain conditions such as low back pain, digestive disorders, stress, and PTSD. Cassandra has advanced training in several Japanese styles of acupuncture, which emphasize gentle, precise, and highly effective techniques. She is also certified in the Classical Pearls herbal line under Dr. Heiner Fruehauf, giving her unique expertise in treating chronic and difficult-to-resolve conditions through customized herbal medicine.

 

As the daughter of a U.S. Air Force veteran and the widow of a U.S. Army soldier, Cassandra has a deep appreciation for the resilience and unique needs of the military and veteran community. This personal connection inspires her commitment to helping patients manage pain, trauma, and long-standing health concerns with compassion and respect.

 

In addition to her clinical practice, Cassandra teaches at the Arizona School of Acupuncture, where she shares her passion for herbal medicine and the classical foundations of Chinese medicine with the next generation of practitioners.
