About Us
Dr. Kimberly Fritz, DAcCM., L.Ac.
It is my honor to introduce Kimberly, founder of Green Dragon Acupuncture. She earned
her Master of Oriental Medicine degree (M.Om.) in 2003 from the Minnesota College of
Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MCAOM) at Northwestern Health Sciences
University in Bloomington, Minnesota. She later earned her Doctorate of Acupuncture
and Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Health Sciences (PCHS) and was
licensed by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice.
Kimberly passed away peacefully on June 27, 2026, surrounded by her family and loved
ones.
Kimberly was a fierce and loving mother, wife, sister, daughter, and friend. She loved
without reservation and never hid how she felt. Protective by nature and unwavering in
her convictions, Kimberly was always the first to stand up for the people she loved.
As an acupuncture practitioner, Kimberly found her calling in helping others heal. She
believed in caring for the whole person and found genuine joy in seeing people regain
hope, comfort, and health. Helping others wasn’t simply her profession—it reflected the
generous spirit with which she lived her life.
“Chinese medicine isn’t just a career choice; it’s my way of life. The fundamental
principles lend not only to achieving health, but also to a more balanced and satisfying
way of life. I enjoy practicing and teaching these fundamentals every day.”
Nhan Trinh, M.Om., L.Ac.
Nhan is the lead practitioner at Green Dragon Acupuncture. She graduated from
Northwestern Health Sciences University (NWHSU) in December 2015 with a Master of
Oriental Medicine and is a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine through the National
Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
Nhan also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Minnesota and
an Associate’s degree in Massage Therapy from NWHSU. She strongly values
continuing education and is committed to advancing her knowledge and skills through
higher education and professional development, with the goal of providing exemplary
care to her patients.
While Nhan is knowledgeable in all facets of Traditional Chinese Medicine, she has
additional specialties in Tui Na (Chinese bodywork), Swedish massage, trigger point
massage, and neuromuscular therapy, among other therapeutic techniques.
Outside of work, Nhan volunteers and works with youth groups, where she teaches
Vietnamese and meditation. She also takes the youth group camping each year. Nhan
enjoys spending time in nature through walking and camping, as well as relaxing with a
cup of tea. She also attends meditation retreats at least once a year.
Nhan believes that quality care requires effort and commitment from both the patient
and the practitioner. By working together and meeting patients where they are, she
believes it is possible to create greater balance and harmony and achieve successful
treatment outcomes. Her goal is to help people address their individual needs in realistic
and sustainable ways by incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine into their lifestyles.
