About Pear Tree's Practitioner

Hope is a board-certified licensed acupuncturist in the state of Minnesota. Her love of acupuncture began as a patient in 2005 and quickly became an integral part of her own health journey. She remembers well what it felt like to be a newcomer to the medicine and therefore has a special kinship with new patients and those ready to explore the healing benefits of acupuncture.  

Her passions run deep for the healing nature of acupuncture, especially for those with pain, anxiety, depression, mental health challenges and digestive issues.​ Through her training, Hope has developed a style that blends both acupuncture needles and non-needle modalities. This style of practice offers care and treatments to those who are not ready for needles or want a blend of Chinese medicine modalities. She strongly believes there should be no barrier for Chinese medicine treatments for those who are needle phobic or want needle-free treatments.  

She sets aside time for each patient appointment, allowing a holistic approach, patient-first mindset, that begins with listening to the patients health needs while meeting them where they are. She offers a blend of restful and fruitful treatments.  

She looks forward to working together with you as a partner in your healing journey.​
