Martina (Mishe) Skenderova, MS, LAc
Licensed Acupuncturist, Death Doula
Carbondale CO
I offer holistic in-person Eastern medicine services to folks in rural Colorado including Marble, Redstone, Carbondale, Paonia, Basalt, and Glenwood Springs. I specialize in working with people with cancer, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, stress and anxiety.
In addition to my hands-on work, I offer non-clinical in-person and online support services, harm reduction, and coaching for life transitions, grief, and death with a focus on vibrant courageous authentic living.
Originally from Bulgaria, I was raised in a tradition of foraging, wild herbal medicine, and my great-grandmother Velika’s secret water healing rituals. I spent my youth living in South Korea, where I was first introduced to and became interested in East Asian Medicine.
I am a nationally board certified (NCCAOM) and Colorado licensed acupuncturist and practitioner of Eastern medicine as well as a grief and death doula. I have additional training in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy and Compassionate Inquiry, and have completed certificate programs in psychedelic therapies through the California Institute of Integral Studies and Psychedelic Research and Training Institute.
When not working with clients and patients, I like to find myself hiking, climbing, gardening, or elbows deep in mud in my pottery studio.
