I come from a long line of healers who dedicated their lives to the well-being of others. My journey began at the age of seven, apprenticing under my mother—an exceptional Acupuncturist and Herbalist. My mom was not only my teacher but also my spiritual guide. She opened my eyes to the wonders of the world beyond what is visible and infused spirituality into her healing work.

“This is how acupuncture and medicine were practiced in ancient times,” she would often say, emphasizing the importance of energy and spirituality in the healing process. She believed our mission was to revive these age-old traditions, grounding our conversations in topics of energy, spirits, and healing. It was normal for me to see the world and people through the lens of energy even as a young child.

As I grew older and became an Acupuncturist myself, I fully realized the depth of my mother’s teachings. Through my practice in oriental medicine, I began to understand the spiritual aspect of acupuncture that she had always emphasized. Moreover, I discovered the intricate connection between the mind and the body.

We are spiritual beings connected to all there is, and true healing occurs when we address the body, mind, emotion, and energy collectively. I found that by becoming aware of our bodies, we can not only heal from within but also accomplish anything we set our minds to.

In acupuncture, two main theories guide our practice: the Yin and Yang theory and the Five Element theory. According to the Five Element theory, each emotion is connected to specific organs and meridians. This correlation always intrigued me, and through 30 years of practice, I uncovered the energetic connections between them.
