    Interested in the space where eastern and western methodologies of healing can meet, Casey is currently studying acupuncture and Chinese herbal Medicine at Pacific College of Health and Science. She is excited to learn more about TCM and is dedicated to providing a positive experience for everyone pursing their health goals.
