ABOUT ME


I am passionate about helping others to achieve overall well-being in mind, body, and spirit. I utilize the ancient healing system of Oriental Medicine and European Biological Medicine to help patients experience a new vitality in their lives. I have helped countless patients with a variety of chronic health issues since 1986.

 

In the early 70’s, I was introduced to the concept of the healing power of whole foods. This discovery of “food as medicine” sparked my interest in natural methods of healing, such as Ayurvedic, Naturopathic, and Oriental Medicine. A subsequent neck injury led me on a healing path that included acupuncture and opened the door to Southwest Acupuncture College, where I learned about the powerful tools of Oriental Medicine: acupuncture, Chinese herbology, exercise protocols and dietary programs. I received my Doctor of Oriental Medicine degree in 1986 from Southwest Acupuncture College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I then went on to an advanced study of Chinese Herbology with Dr. Ted Kaptchuk, Gynecology with Dr. Bob Flaws, and Pediatrics, also with Dr. Bob Flaws.

 

In 2000, I began a two-year study of European Biological Medicine with Dr. Thomas Rau, director of Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland. With Dr. Rau, I expanded my studies of natural medicine to include Live Blood Cell Analysis, cleansing and detoxification protocols, identification and treatment of chronic bacterial and fungal infections in the body and biological dentistry which identifies the connections between diseased teeth and chronic health problems. I received my certification in Biological Medicine in 2002, and utilize the concepts of this natural healing system in conjunction with the practice of Oriental Medicine.

 

And lastly about me, it may be obvious, I dearly love animals!

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS


"Cholena Erickson has been my primary health  care provider for the last 30 years. She has treated me for many conditions from PMS in the early years, up to and through menopause, for grief and depression, aches, pains, digestive problems, ocular migraines; basically for whatever ails me! I am grateful to have her as my health care provider as I always find relief from my symptoms when I receive a treatment."


Beth F. 

"Cholena has been my acupuncturist for five years and I can't imagine what my health condition would be like without her.  She is the most knowledgeable health care provider I have experienced in 60+ years.  Cholena has taught me a lot about wellness for the total body.  And Cholena is a great listener, which must be a key to the positive outcomes I have experienced from her treatments. Thank you, Cholena."


Ivy S.

“I first went to Cholena Erickson for acupuncture about 12 years ago, struggling with recurring migraines.  Over the course of a month, with regular treatments, Cholena cured the migraines.  I haven't had one since.  Cholena has helped me through the years with stress and anxiety, physical and mental recovery, as well as general health and wellness.  I can't remember the last time I had a cold or illness.  I can't praise her enough for the fine care she has provided over the years!”


Michelle W.

"I have depended on Cholena and her skills for assistance in determining imbalances in my body through Live Blood Cell Analysis for a decade. Whenever I have infectious or inflammatory issues, I seek her wisdom.  Her expertise with this amazing technology has greatly assisted me to understand the underlying imbalances.  Her knowledge of herbal therapy and treatments has assisted me to avoid more antibiotics and to resolve the infection or inflammation naturally and safely.  I highly recommend Cholena and her work."
