Casey has been in practice for over twenty years. She began her study of Traditional Chinese Medicine after receiving acupuncture and discovering its profound healing benefits first hand, bringing greater depth to her philosophy and abilities as a practitioner.

Casey treats a variety of general medical conditions, including pain, headaches, anxiety, etc., and specializes in women’s health, fertility enhancement, and pregnancy. Casey's treatment approach is based on the ways in which Eastern and Western medicine are now working together. In 2005, Casey practiced at Seattle Reproductive Medicine with women undergoing IVF and continues to work in collaboration with reproductive endocrinologists and OB/GYNs throughout the Northwest.

Casey holds a Master's degree of Acupuncture from the Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NIAOM) where she studied gynecology and obstetrics from both a Western and Eastern perspective. She also holds a certificate of Chinese Herbal Medicine from Bastyr University. Casey is a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Washington and is also board certified by the National Commission of the Certification of Acupuncturists in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology.
