From a young age, I was drawn to the idea of helping others feel better. Growing up with a mother who struggled with chronic back pain, I often found myself offering her massages to help relieve her discomfort. Little did I know, those early moments of offering comfort would plant the seed for my lifelong passion for healing.
As I began my college journey, my world expanded when I learned about eating better and alternative healing. This shift opened my eyes to a whole new perspective on health—one that embraced the power of natural, holistic approaches. It was during this time that I truly began to understand the profound impact alternative medicine can have on the body and mind.
After graduating, I landed a job at an acupuncture wellness center where I had the privilege of working with some of the most inspiring acupuncturists I've ever met. I watched patients transform, not just physically but emotionally, as they experienced healing from the inside out. The acupuncturists I worked alongside taught me what it truly means to care for someone’s well-being. They showed me the value of listening deeply to patients, creating a space where they feel safe enough to open up about their struggles, and providing treatments that are as much about the heart as they are about the body.
