From her childhood, growing up in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, Dr. Jolie always had a passion for physical activity and learning. These factors allowed her to travel and pursue a career in education, teaching both Spanish and English all over the world. This spirit of adventure and love of the outdoors eventually led her to Colorado, and it was in this transition that she decided on a career change and followed another lifelong interest in healthcare. Dr. Jolie initially trained as a massage therapist and eventually decided to enroll in advanced studies in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Even before graduation, Jolie recognized the need for better integration of Eastern and Western philosophies and the need to make Eastern medicine concepts more accessible to both patients and physicians. She had the opportunity to address this need while initially working in a pain clinic, collaborating with Western physicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists with great success in Colorado. Education remains central in Dr. Jolie’s treatment approach. She strives to empower her patients with a deeper understanding of human health, what acupuncture can contribute, and where to find other areas of expertise to achieve their goals. Clinical modalities include gentle needling techniques, guasha, fire cupping, tuina, shiatsu, acupressure, myofascial release, electrostimulation, auriculotherapy, and dietary and lifestyle recommendations from both Western and Eastern medical herbalism. Dr. Jolie specializes in orthopedic and sports medicine, in addition to a strong clinical interest in women’s health. She has experience with fertility acupuncture, prenatal and postnatal massage, and menopause acupuncture treatments. Her doctoral work led her to specialize in treating traumatic brain injury, neuro-endocrine disorders, and post-concussion syndrome.
