What lead me here
My relationship with east asian medicine started when I was about 15. I was a competitive track and cross country runner and struggled with mid back pain that wrapped around my sides. I went to my primary care physician to address it, and without even examining my back they told me the only solution was to stop running. I was stubborn and I sought out alternative care. I found an acupuncturist and asked them if my only option was to stop running, he responded saying that acupuncture would help along the way with whatever decision I made. This empowered me and helped me understand that everything we need is already inside of us to heal. Acupuncture allowed me to heal and run more freely. Injuries and ailments would come up along the way and acupuncture was always there to help fine tune my body and mental state.
How I practice acupuncture is very hands on with palpation. Small discomforts are not brushed aside as there are often patterns and explinations in east asian medicine for things that may see arbitrary in western medicine.
Through my acupuncturist, I learned that acupuncture helps unlock healing within our own beings. The physical, mental and spiritual are not separate, they are a whole system that craves harmony. My goal is to help others along find harmony within their own beings. If you are interested in working with me you can click here.
