Feeling incredibly grateful today 💐 One of my patients brought me these beautiful orchids as a thank-you. After having unexplained lower abdominal pain and bloating, and seeing multiple doctors, no one had ever mentioned endometriosis—until our thorough intake and health history led me to refer her to . She now has a clear diagnosis and an upcoming excision surgery.

This is exactly why I do what I do. Listening deeply, connecting the dots, and advocating for patients when things don’t add up. It’s never “just bad periods.” Trust your body, and don’t stop seeking answers.

I am honored that my friend, Nina , invited me on her podcast .

I never thought of myself as a “change-maker”. However, when I explored change-maker archetypes I found I am definitely a communicator at work, and a connector and nurturer in the rest of my life.
I also found the word for doctor comes from the latin root to teach. As an acupuncturist, I teach people about their health and their bodies so they can be empowered.
I loved exploring this side of myself, and I’m sure others can relate. I hope you all enjoy our conversation. Linked in my bio. 👆🏻

An acupuncturist’s tool kit doesn’t just include needles.
There’s more to health and wellness. I always encourage my patients to have a yoga and meditation practice, a healthy diet, and of course to take herbal supplements when needed.

Until the year 2020, my generation never experienced the devastation of a pandemic. I had only ever heard stories from my father about polio, and how they were given sugar cubes when they received the polio vaccination.

As an alternative healthcare worker, I was privileged to received the COVID-19 vaccine. The decisions to accept the vaccine didn’t come without guilt, as I feel there are many others that are in greater need for this treatment. However, here in Los Angeles, our hospitals and my fellow healthcare workers are overwhelmed. Unprecedented numbers of lives are being lost each day. My desire is that by getting vaccinated I am doing my part to protect my family, friends, patients and this community in the best way I can.

Also, as an alternative medicine doctor, I was forced to make a decision about accepting an early vaccine from western medicine. My belief has always been that alternative medicines should be used in conjunction with western medicine to heal the body. In addition, I followed these epidemiologist and vaccine developers which alleviated many of my fears.  

Stay healthy and safe my friends. ❤️
