We are proud to offer highly qualified, gifted acupuncturists in Denver at the Element Center.
Lauren Marie L.Ac. Founder, Acupuncturist
Using principles from different traditions of Chinese Medicine (Five Element, 8 principle, and TCM) Lauren has developed a unique style which has proven very effective. She believe in diagnosis and treatment for the individual patient rather than approaching everyone in the same manner. What this means is that you will receive treatments tailored exclusively for you. In addition, no two treatments you receive will be exactly alike. Lauren has been practicing acupuncture in Denver since 2002.
