​

   The name Aspen Tree Acupuncture is born from Annie’s deep, healing connection with the aspen trees themselves. Spending time among them—hiking, walking, sitting quietly beneath their shimmering, quaking leaves—offered a sense of calm and presence she had not experienced before. As she stepped into the world of Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, the aspens took on new meaning. Through the lens of the Five Elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—she began to see their graceful transformation as a reflection of the cycles within us all. Like the aspen, we move through phases of life: from the fresh energy of spring, to the full vitality of summer, into the breathtaking shift of autumn as green leaves ignite into brilliant golds, reds, and oranges, and finally into the quiet stillness of winter that nourishes new beginnings. Aspen Tree Acupuncture honors this rhythm—of nature, of healing, of life itself.
