Cholena’s healing philosophy is rooted in decades of study and practice across multiple traditions. She earned her Doctor of Oriental Medicine degree from Southwest Acupuncture College in 1986 and has since trained in Chinese gynecology, pediatrics, and herbology under respected masters. Her work also incorporates European Biological Medicine, which she studied intensively starting in 2000 with Dr. Thomas Rau of the Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland.
