Diplomate of Acupuncture, NCCAOM
Dani has been studying nutrition for over three decades. Outside of the classroom, she studied in the fields of an organic farm in rural Alabama; in restaurant kitchens; and in restaurant management.
Dani attended the Living Foods Institute, the Living Light Culinary Institute, The Chopra Center and Pacific Rim College in her pursuit of dietary insights. Dani has studied a variety of dietary approaches and continues to study with some of the finest experts of nutritional therapy and Eastern Medicine.
As a classically trained artist, Dani sees the human body with an architectural complexity, beauty, and perfection—viewing its capacity to sustain life and heal itself, with the same reverence as a fine masterpiece.
This brought her to the study of Eastern Medicine and Acupuncture at Middleway Acupuncture Institute. During her studies there, she continued to pursue her passion for holistic nutrition with a deep dive into Chinese Dietary Therapy.
Dani became a faculty member at Middleway Acpuncture Institute - teaching Food Therapy and Clinical Nutrients & Dietary Therapy in 2021. Dani is pleased to serve the greater Bellingham community in person and offers telehealth appointments as a holistic nutritionist to those outside of the area.

what dietary therapy can do for you...
"When medicinal therapy is initiated only after someone has fallen ill, when there is an attempt to restore order only after unrest has broken out, it is as though someone has waited to dig a well until he is already weak from thirst..." - Su Wen 100 BC.
The 2013 Global Burden of Disease Study from the US Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation concluded that poor diet is the single greatest cause of failing health globally - more than smoking, alcohol, pollution or any other factor.
A life of vital longevity is our birthright. It is time for us to take back our health by preventing disease. An integral part of preventive medicine, nutrition is considered the first line of defense in acupuncture and Eastern medicine as it provides the energy needed for the body to function. Good nutrition not only provides energy, it also provides the basic building blocks, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and antioxidants that keep the body healthy.
Dietary imbalances contribute to an imbalance in overall health. Improper diet practices can lead to malnutrition, organ damage, slow metabolic rate and other disease states. Biochemical and energetic imbalances may present themselves as pain, sleep disturbances, mood changes, abnormal digestion, headaches and menstrual irregularities.
Through the process of evaluating subtle physical signs as well as the emotional condition of a person, practitioners of acupuncture and Eastern medicine can detect health problems in their earliest stages, as well as support recovery from more acute conditions. Once the imbalance has been determined, a customized program can be created using a variety of treatment modalities including acupuncture, moxibustion, and qi gong in addition to food, exercise and lifestyle suggestions. Seasonal acupuncture treatments serve to tonify the inner organ systems and correct minor annoyances before they become serious problems.
