Cody Burch’s education in eastern medicine began at the International Institute of Chinese Medicine where she obtained her Master’s degree in Oriental Medicine. Cody practiced privately in Sante Fe, NM for over 20 years as a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM). As a DOM in New Mexico, she served on the State Board of Acupuncture, helped to start and staff a low cost community clinic, and worked with long-term outpatient care facilities to support people with addictions through auricular (ear) acupuncture. While maintaining her busy practice, Cody traveled to Myanmar where she taught eastern medicine to local university students at a monastic hospital outside of Mandalay.
Cody’s specialties are fertility and reproduction, hormone and inflammatory related issues, and pain syndromes. Her approach is firmly rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, using the modalities of acupuncture, herbs, cupping, gua sha, sho-ni-shin (for pediatrics) and acutonics.
Cody received her undergraduate education from Central Michigan University with a major in Psychology and minors in Family Life and Human Sexuality and Women’s Studies.
She is a nationally certified acupuncturist and herbologist by the National Certifications Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). She is a registered acupuncturist in Michigan, and maintains a DOM license in New Mexico.
For almost 30 years eastern thought and spirituality have been a way of life for Cody with a foundation in mediation and the I Ching.
