ASPEN ELEVATED HEALTH
Nationally Certified as a Diplomat of Oriental Medicine, a Licensed Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist, Brittany holds a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine with over 3340 hours of clinical and didactic training from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, Co.
Brittany was drawn to Chinese Medicine, especially for the way it honors the spiritual aspect of healing. She felt this was a missing ingredient in allopathic medicine. She knew there was a better way. Drawing on her keen intuition and deep compassion, Brittany connects and listens to the body and soul, tuning into what each client uniquely needs to heal.
Brittany is a grounded empath with the ability to connect directly to source energy as a channel for healing. She meets her clients where they are; communicating both clinical and spiritual remedies in a relatable way. Her treatments at Aspen Elevated Health seek to create a deeper integration of mind, body and spirit, empowering her clients to connect to their true self.

She releases stuck energy, tunes up the Chakras, navigates underlying stories, and reads past and future energies. Hil breaks down her client’s energetic reality into actionable steps to support their goals.
