Elizabeth's primary treatment modalities include acupuncture, Chinese herbs (both granular and capsule forms), cupping, Chinese nutritional therapy, and other accessory techniques to promote healing and well being. Elizabeth's broad based background and experience helps her create informed and personalized health plans for her patients.

Elizabeth's interest in Chinese medicine started at Pitzer College in Claremont, California, where she completed two years of field research with a senior acupuncturist and wrote her senior honors thesis on the sociological growth of Chinese Medicine in the United States.

Elizabeth is nationally board certified in acupuncture and Chinese herbology, licensed in the state of Illinois, and a member of the American Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Association. Elizabeth lectures, teaches, mentors new acupuncturists, and assists other practitioners with complex cases. She graduated at the top of her class from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. After receiving a Masters of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine she was hired by two of her acupuncture professors - her practice grew quickly through referrals. Elizabeth is the owner of Wellspring Integrative Medicine and a life-long Evanston resident.
