About Donna

Donna J. Selle, MS, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac., LMT, MNPC

Meet Donna…

Donna has been an acupuncturist for over 20 years. She‘s funny, kind and compassionate, with a gentle technique that eases even the most concerned patient. She cares so deeply for her patients and sees her work as a privilege. She takes your health, your trust and your privacy very seriously. Donna is an open book so if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

When she isn’t “acupuncture-ing” you’ll find this Idaho native either in her garden trying to avoid killing her plants, deciphering a knitting pattern for the yarn she spent way too much money on, or in the kitchen cooking…or eating! (Ask her for meal plans and recipes. She’s a treasure trove of culinary knowledge.)
