Growing up in the mountains, Karl developed a passion for the outdoor sports of hiking, rock climbing and backcountry skiing, as well as the art of landscape photography (www.visionsofcontrast.com).

His interest in the power of both Asian and Western Medicine was propelled by a pivotal healing experience as a child. At the age of four he developed a debilitating growth disorder, owing to the combination of acupuncture treatments with Western medcations, Karl fully recovered by the age of twelve. This experience propelled his intellectual pursuits: first a degree in Biology at the University of Colorado, and subsequently a Master of Acupuncture degree from Southwest Acupuncture College.

Karl’s goal is to help you recover from pain and injury and eventually give you the capacity to not only cope with the tremendous amount of physical and mental stress we are all exposed to on a daily basis, but thrive in your body and mind.
