A personal journey involving a loved ones health issues.
Q: What work/education experience makes you a better acupuncturist ?
My first "work" experience was as an intern at the Acupuncture Center at Pacific College, a high volume urban setting where I treated a variety of conditions including but not limited to fibroids, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, HIV/AIDS support, chemo/radiation support, smoking cessation, musculoskeletal problems, headaches, insomnia and digestive problems. I have been in private practice since graduation.
