Vicki joined AcuHaus at its inception and has been an amazing addition. Dr Angie couldn't take care of the clients if it wasn't for all of Vicki's hard work.
Vicki has a background in natural foods and supplements from managing the Wellness Department at Harvest Moon, a co-op in Long Lake, and desires to keep one foot in the wellness and complementary medicine world.
She is also an avid lover of languages and advocate of literacy! She can often be found reading a Spanish novel, prepping for her students at the English as a Second Language course through Orono Community Education, and caring for her two fun cats.
