I became an acupuncturist not because I wanted to “fix” people, but because I’ve always been deeply interested in how the body communicates - especially when something keeps repeating.
As a child, I was a keen observer of people. I noticed how they reacted to events, how they spoke, what they talked about (and what they avoided), and how they carried their bodies. I was curious about the space between what people said and what they seemed to feel.
I started writing stories about the people I observed. A teacher once told me I was good at writing and understanding human psychology, and that I should try marketing and communications. I did, for well over a decade.
But over time, something felt off. I missed the human part. I didn’t just want to observe people. I wanted to help them, in a way that felt real and grounded. I wanted to support people in understanding themselves better, not persuade them or push them.
Chinese medicine brought me back to that.
My work now is still about listening and observing, but with the intention of helping people help themselves. I pay attention to patterns: how symptoms repeat, how stress shows up in the body, how things shift over time when the right support is in place.
Acupuncture, to me, isn’t about forcing change. It’s about creating the conditions for change, and then walking alongside someone as their body responds.
If you’re someone who’s curious about your health, open to consistency, and interested in understanding what your body is asking for - we’ll likely work well together.
