Hi, I'm Ariela! 

I am a passionate wellness educator, trainer and lifelong learner. I bring over 20 years of experience in traditional Eastern medicine, wellness instruction, training development and more.

I hold a Masters and Doctorate of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, specializing in chronic pain and mental/emotional health. Though I have retired my practice, I actively utilize my medical knowledge collaboratively, finding new ways to contribute my experience to the healing arts community. 

My mission is to contribute to healing our community and lifting the spirit of humanity, one day and one spirit, at a time. I seek to put my experience into the world, working with other like minded professionals, and discovering new avenues to make a positive impact.

In addition to medicine, I am an experience learning and development trainer and workshop facilitator. I love designing interactive educational experiences and empowering people with knowledge. Some of my favorite training topics include interpersonal skills, wholistic healing, meditation exploration and personal development.

Professionally, I am dedicated to continuous growth. My analytical capabilities and project management skills allow me to improve processes and policies.

On a personal note, I am a mom to two wonderful sons and fur mom to a sweet cat and energetic dog. Creativity is very important to me - I enjoy coloring as a form of meditation and spending time outdoors surrounded by nature. I live life with optimism, integrity and an open heart. 

With my blend of medical knowledge, training talents and administrative expertise, I am excited to take on new challenges and make a positive difference. I am a lifelong learner who thrives on collaboration and innovation. Please feel free to connect with me to explore working together!
