New Office Location April 1st
My beautiful, peaceful new space is just across Valmont

I'm moving to new offices starting April 1st, but don’t worry—it’s just across Valmont Road from my current office. It’s easy to find, and has plenty of parking.


The new address and phone number are:

2955 Valmont Rd., Suite 100
Boulder, CO 80301

(720) 320-1075

It is located on the lower level of the Centennial Creek office park on the north side of Valmont, west of 30th Street.

You’ll always be able to see my current location at http://www.acupunctureboulder.com/boulder-location/.

New Online Appointment Calendar
See my availability for appointments on the web 24/7

Now you can see what appointments I have available anytime—24 hours a day, 7 days a week—by going to the Appointment Calendar page of my website and using the Calendar link, which takes you to my Microsoft Office Online calendar.

Spaces that are not marked “busy” can be requested for appointments. When you see a spot you’d like to reserve, just use the Request form on the Appointment Calendar page of my site to send a request. I’ll respond within 2 hours to requests sent between 9am and 5pm, Monday through Friday, and as soon as possible outside of those hours.

If you are a Microsoft Outlook user, you can subscribe to my calendar by following the "Subscribe to Internet Calendar" link just above my Microsoft Office Online calendar.

Of course, you can still phone to make an appointment, but due to the challenges of making phone calls with the few minutes between apppointments I can respond to email more frequently. Requests are honored in the order they are received.

Recipe: Sesame-Encrusted Whitefish

Make a delicious, healthy meal in less than 30 minutes

When it comes to “What’s for dinner?” I want to make it quick, easy, delicious and healthy. Inexpensive is also a bonus! So when frozen wild Alaskan cod was on sale I bought some and put together the following from what I had on hand. You can use any whitefish for the recipe. Check out the Natural Resources Defense Council’s Guide to see what fish are more safe in regards to pollutants such as mercury and PCBs, as well as which are overfished or caught using environmentally destructive methods.


The lemon dill sauce was created by my fitness trainer, Sarah Eley of Eley Wellness.


Whitefish filets (thawed if frozen)
Ground Cumin
Sesame Seeds
Olive Oil
Fresh Lemons
Fresh Chopped or Dried Dill
Salt

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Rub olive oil in bottom of baking dish.
Place filets in dish and sprinkle liberally with ground cumin.
Cover filets with a layer of sesame seeds.
Bake for 10 to 25 minutes depending on thickness of filets. Fish should flake apart with a fork when done. Be careful not to overcook.

While fish is cooking:
In a small bowl pour about 2 teaspoons of olive oil per filet.
Cut lemon(s) in half, squeeze juice into oil and whisk until blended. Add more juice to taste.
Stir in dill and salt to taste.

When fish is done, put it on a plate, spoon on the sauce, and garnish with lemon slices and sprigs of dill.

This dish goes very well with a side of steamed, sautéed or grilled asparagus. My favorite method is lightly sautéed in a little olive oil with plenty of fresh garlic.

A second easy side for this meal is curried rice. I make mine the lazy way—just by adding a couple of teaspoons of curry powder to the water before I stir and cover the rice for cooking!
