Allie Dodge grew up in Washington, DC. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in Psychology in 1999. She moved to Colorado in 2004 to begin studying Acupuncture. Allie completed the 4-year Masters Program in Classical Five-Element Acupuncture from the Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture (ITEA) in Louisville, CO in February 2008, and she has had a private practice in Boulder, CO since September 2008. In the Spring of 2011, she began teaching at ITEA.
In addition to seeing people transformed and healed through Classical Five-Element Acupuncture treatments and as students of this powerful medicine, Allie enjoys taking dance classes, practicing yoga and meditation, being in nature, cooking organic meals with her husband, traveling, photography, and surrounding herself with the youthful, playful, and carefree nature of children and animals.
Allie Dodge Acupuncture is dedicated to providing a supportive and safe healing environment. Allie is committed to listening carefully to your health concerns and partnering with you to improve your overall health and wellness. By treating the whole being (body, mind, and spirit) and by addressing the root cause of symptoms, Allie strives to prevent the onset of illness, slow the progression of imbalance, and help you cope with and successfully manage disease.
Through acupuncture treatments and lifestyle recommendations, it is my hope that people can build their inner strength and vitality, move toward their full potential, embrace life, and live in balance and harmony within themselves, their community, and the environment.
