Health Professionals Beginning With K in Arizona

I have been a licensed and certified massage therapist since August 2000. I worked full time at Canyon Ranch Health & Fitness Resort until March of 2007 catering to a high end international clientele. I practiced two highly requested specialties, Deep Tissue/Sports Massage and Thai Massage. Guest surveys included the following comments: "My massage with Deanna was one of the highlights of my trip to CR," "My massages with Deanna were the best I've ever had. She is awesome" and "Deanna's Thai massage was exceptional"

When cultures moving from East to West or vice versa, we tend to standardize it for our own taste. Acupuncture has been practicing in the U.S. for some decades, undergoing its own face-lifting in many ways. I respect the energetic difference between here and Korea where I am from but still like to maintain the core philosophy of Oriental Medicine. One word, it is compassion, which is the virtue an acupuncturist should have with his/her patients. Without it one just become a Biller rather than a Healer.

As a retired professional ballet dancer, I have dedicated most of my life to the study of movement. I have always been fascinated with the human body and how it works. Once I stopped performing, it seemed only natural that I would gravitate toward a profession in the field of bodywork. Acupuncture was always helpful to me while I was dancing and I felt that practicing this amazing medicine would give me the opportunity to help others in the same way I was helped throughout my career. I am always excited to meet new patients and to help them reach their health goals!

My ideal patient is someone who is ready to feel healthy again and find solutions that will actually help without side effects. Due to insurance, it can be hard to find a quality physician that will listen to their chief concerns and address them well. I will always listen to patients and never disregard patient's concerns. My initial appointments are designed to put the patient first and help them see long-lasting results. My overall goal with every patient is to guide and empower them so they may fulfill their own unique purpose and life fulfillment. My passion is helping people achieve their optimal state of health and wellness.
