READ THE BLOG
not your typical acupuncturist’s blog
Prior to becoming an acupuncturist, I was ravenous for information on the medicine.
I scoured the early aughts internet for anything I could find, but there were too many missing pieces. Tragedy struck the psychology lab I worked in, and I made the decision to switch from helping people through a western lens to helping people through an eastern lens.
Now, I get to write some of that content that I had hoped to find…
…and it turns out that a decade into practice, what I write about is not at all what I would have expected from myself back then… and that’s ok. I think some of it is better, because rather than being an encyclopedia of acupuncture knowledge, this blog views life through the lens of Chinese medicine, which helps you understand better how it can help you in your everyday life.

Using acupuncture to increase your capacity to hold two opposing views at the same time.
Western medicine consistently questions or is ignorant of the basic principles of Eastern medicine, and yet insists on studying from its own perspective.
When people say “I don’t believe in acupuncture,” I often respond with, “That’s ok, because it’s not a faith based medicine.”
