What got you interested in acupuncture?

I was teaching English as a second language in Pittsburgh, PA when I first heard about acupuncture from one of my students. He told me this amazing story of how he broke his arm when he was a boy and his mother took him to see an acupuncturist numerous times a week. His arm healed quickly and he never had a cast. I was very intrigued.

Actually I never had an acupuncture treatment before I decided to become an acupuncturist. I just knew that it was what I was meant to do. Sometimes you have to listen to that little voice inside that guides you in the right direction, no matter how kooky it may seem. So, I sold most of my belongings, packed up and moved to Oregon to attend the best acupuncture school in the U.S.-and I haven’t looked back since. I love what I do- couldn’t be happier. Seriously. I love to laugh and help people feel better. I give a lot to my patients, but they give a lot to me. And for that, I am super grateful.
