About

Darla Erickson has been working in the healing arts for over 15 years. She started in Quantum Energetics Structured Therapy (QEST) after seeing astonishing results with family, friends, and herself. QEST is a systemic process using subtle energy to trigger the innate natural healing processes within the body. The ultimate aim of QEST is to produce a state of optimum balance or health within the body.
After seeing the effects of QEST had when combined with Acupuncture, Darla’s journey led her to pursue a degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

She then studied at Northwestern Health Sciences University and received her Masters degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2012. Darla received her Doctor of Energy Medicine in 2016 from the International Academy of Energy Medicine. In 2019, Darla completed her two year certification in "The Gold Standard Facial Acupuncture" by Mary Elizabeth Wakefield and Michel Angelo.
