Laurie Mecham graduated with honors from Southwest Acupuncture College in New Mexico with a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine.  She specialized in Chinese Herbal Medicine.  As part of her clinical education, Laurie volunteered at Sixth Street Detoxification Clinic in Albuquerque NM.  In her second year, Laurie was awarded the Helio Exceptional Needling Technique Scholarship.  Upon graduating, Laurie decided to bring her skills back home to Missouri and established the Ozarks Acupuncture Clinic in Springfield MO.  Laurie joined the Wellness Concepts Integrated Health Care Team in 2002, also in Springfield.  In 2008 she introduced Acupuncture to the Detoxification Clinic at The Kitchen, a free medical clinic that serves the economically disadvantaged in Springfield.
