Undergraduate Education

Gina Butler received her Masters of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree at the Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine in Seattle, Washington. She is nationally board certified in both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and is licensed by the State of Missouri to practice acupuncture. After completing her training, she began her practice at the Acupuncture and Wellness Center, P.S. which is currently one of the largest Chinese medical clinics in the United States. She has also practiced in Oregon and now Columbia, Missouri where she resides with her husband and son.
Gina has continued to deepen and extend her knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine through classes, apprenticeships and personal study. Since 2001, she has extensively studied with two experts in the field of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine: Dr. Richard Teh Fu Tan and Dr. Jimmy Zhang Wei-Yin Chang. Gina specializes in the advanced style of acupuncture known as the Balance Method that uses distal points to treat the affected area. She also has been trained by Dr. Jimmy Zhang Wei-Yin Chang in the ancient art of Chinese Pulse Diagnosis.
Gina’s practice is founded upon an integrative approach to medicine that recognizes the unique state of each individual’s specific condition. Her goal is to become a facilitator in the health and healing of her patients by incorporating ancient theory with contemporary modalities that allow the body's natural healing response to occur.
Outside of clinic, you'll find Gina enjoying the outdoors, gardening, running Columbia's amazing trails, cooking and eating delicious foods with friends and family, playing the piano (since 5 years old...thanks mom & dad) and most of all, experiencing life with her husband, son and their pets (loyal dog Moses and ungrateful cats Singee and Shygirl).
