She graduated from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco in 1999 and successfully completed the notorious “California Exam” to became a Licensed Acupuncturist in October of 2000.

As part of her training, Lynette was fortunate to experience an externship in Chengdu, Sichuan, People’s Republic of China. Witnessing TCM being considered first and then used along side western medicine without preferential treatment towards western methods was eye-opening. It felt like things were in their proper place. Acupuncture and herbs first. Western intervention if needed.

While in Asia she also traveled in Tibet, Mongolia, Viet Nam, and Thailand. Take her for a coffee and ask her about it sometime.

Upon returning to the states, Lynette had a private practice north of San Francisco in Marin County for 11 years.

In 2007, she volunteered with Acupuncture Without Borders and went to New Orleans one year after the Katrina disaster providing acupuncture in a group setting three to four times a day all over the new Orleans area. This reinforced her desire to provide acupuncture in a community style setting.

When she moved to Boise in 2013 she was able to put that desire into practice. She opened Acupuncture for Everyone in July of 2014 and gave over 11,000 treatments in eight years to patients ranging in age from in-utero to aged 94 with every conceivable condition and complaint. She was grateful to be able to serve such a wide range of people due to the affordability of the community clinic business model.

Over the course of her career, Lynette has enhanced her healing skills by studying energy medicine (aka energy healing, aka qi gong, aka grounding, auras & chakras), diving deep into Face Reading for health diagnosis but more importantly for understanding oneself and to better understanding others in our lives and our relationship to them. In 2019 she studied with Meadow Devor learning her Four Voices Life Coaching methods.

Lynette has furthered her TCM skills with specialized training in Long COVID Recovery, Post Concussion Syndrome and the treatment of TBIs, PTSD relief, easing midlife transitions (perimenopause, menopause and andropause, poor digestion, poor sleep and more), balancing mood disorders and helping you age more gracefully with micro & nano needling for facial rejuvenation, scar reduction, the treatment of acne, hair loss and more.

After nearly three decades of formal and self study, Lynette has created a powerful toolkit to help you understand how to move yourself forward on your healing journey. She has become a highly valued and referred to practitioner not only for these skills, but also because of her non-judgmental, compassionate, encouraging presence and her confidence in your ability to heal and truly transform your health and your life.
