MEET DR. DAWNA
About Dr. Dawna Ara
Acupuncturist in Colorado Springs
I’m Dawna
I know what it’s like to feel off, when your energy, focus, and spark seem just out of reach. I’ve experienced firsthand how much your health can affect everyday life, and that perspective shapes how I care for my patients.
As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine with a background in nursing, I look beyond individual symptoms to understand the bigger picture. I take time to listen, ask questions, and develop a treatment plan that fits your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
I’ve been caring for patients since 2009, and I believe good healthcare should feel personal, collaborative, and straightforward. My goal is to help you understand your options, feel confident in your care, and make meaningful progress toward feeling better.
