What brought me to acupuncture?

I come from a family of restaurant workers, weekend warriors, hustlers. Raised by a single mom, I am the youngest of three children. My mom, a beloved restaurant server, kept her family close by enrolling us into the industry. Bussers, hostesses, servers, managers. We’ve all worked in the industry for many moons. Some of the brightest, most creative, hilarious people I’ve ever met work in kitchens, and I believe this to be a universal truth. As many industry veterans know, the work takes a physical and emotional toll and I turned to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support my health. Overtime, about 6 years of receiving treatments, and suddenly sleeping better, eating better, and experiencing less pain; I dipped my toe into these healing, ancient waters. I didn’t expect to completely change my life’s path, but that’s the funny thing about Chinese Medicine- it works with your entire body and health inside and out to slowly move you towards your true life’s purpose. This is not to say you won’t get knocked off course, of course you will. But that’s when TCM steps in, to bring you back to center, so you can continue to live a long and healthy life, continuous evolving, hopefully for eternity.
