YOUR PRACTITIONER

Hi, I’m Dawna

I’m a licensed acupuncturist and registered nurse. I’ve practiced acupuncture since 2009 and cared for veterans since 2016, and I personally know what it’s like to go down the rabbit hole of trying to get your health back.

I bring together acupuncture, hands-on bodywork, and practical guidance to help you feel better—so you can spend less time managing your symptoms and more time enjoying your life.

I want to hear what you’ve been dealing with, what you’ve already tried, and what you’d love to get back to doing. We’ll talk through your options and make a plan together.

My office is in northeast Colorado Springs, serving the communities from Black Forest and Cordera to Peyton and Falcon. I look forward to hearing your story!

What Patients Say

  • “Dawna has helped me with everything from garden variety stress to bizarre ailments that defied reason. Without a doubt, she's the best acupuncturist I know… Try going to her when you have a headache. I did so last week and after placing only one needle, it was gone.”

    ANNA S., YELP

  • “This was my first time trying acupuncture and it won't be the last. I have a neck injury from a car accident and Dawna did more for me in 1 visit than my physical therapist had done in a few weeks.”

    KELLY B., YELP

  • “Dawna Ara has given me my life back! … Dawna discovered that my hormones were way out of balance. Within a month of starting treatment I began to feel better. Now, after three months I have so much energy… and I feel like my old self again.”
