Over 20 years of professional experience specializing in pain complaints of multiple origins.
He started his professional career as an attorney, yet this was a short-lived path due to a persistent “natural calling” for a more hands-on approach to alleviate the pain and suffering of others. His healing vocational interests stemmed from his own quest in overcoming severe and often debilitating childhood asthma, in addition to a sincere interest in fostering a deeper connection to spiritual growth and conscious evolution.
For more than a decade before enrolling at the prestigious National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), an in-residency natural medical school, Dr. Loop worked as a licensed massage therapist, certified yoga teacher and Ayurvedic practitioner and therapist. He created one of Denver’s first Ayurveda and yoga wellness clinics (Sattva Spa) in addition to a flourishing medical massage practice (Profundus Medical Massage) that is still in operation today.
In addition to studying with some of the most pre-eminent and dedicated teachers of Ayurveda, Yoga and Tantra, Dr. Loop followed his perennial deep Taoist inclinations in obtaining a challenging and life-affirming medical doctorate in Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM or East Asian Medicine) and naturopathic studies. It was its multidisciplinary approach and deep connection to mental / emotional / spiritual lineage systems that evoked his own life altering sojourns into healing his own chronic immune deficiency and provided the compassionate insight that would assist others in traversing their wellness journey.
Doctor Loop is currently licensed by the
- Medical Board in Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture in North Carolina
- Massage Therapy in North Carolina.
(He has previously practiced in the states of Virginia, Colorado, Oregon and California.)
Doctor Loop is Board certified in Chinese Herbalism, the highest level of industry standard with the NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine).
He is adept at crafting effective custom herbal formulation & acupuncture treatment protocols that suit your specific needs knowing from personal experience that tailored medicine is the most elegant, efficient and economical way to achieve results. Changing therapies at a whim or throwing the kitchen sink at something is expensive and often muddies the water.
It is important to find someone that you trust and can work with you over time, especially when collaborative referrals are needed to Western medicine or other comprehensive healthcare specializations. Dr. Loop cares deeply about helping others find balance and inner peace and looks forward to being a partner on your unique path to health and wellness. He is honored to be of service and loves what he does.
