Chinese medicine: A journey from surviving to thriving

"Throughout my life, I have been challenged with how to move from simply surviving to truly thriving. Discovering the many aspects of Chinese medicine and its impact on my daily health has allowed me to begin to answer this question.

This medicine has helped me to live my life in alignment with nature's rhythms and to connect with a healing tradition that has been practiced for thousands of years. Embracing Chinese medicine has also made me a healthier, more active, more thoughtful, and more impactful member of my community.

I am grateful for the opportunity to share this learning and this journey with others. As a practitioner of Chinese medicine, I am committed to helping my patients achieve their health goals and live their best lives."
