				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fast facts</strong><br />
Practice type: Private<br />
Specialties: Addiction, anxiety, digestive conditions, musculoskeletal pain, women&#8217;s health<br />
Styles: Auricular acupuncture (ear), NADA, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)</p>
<p><strong>Why did you become an acupuncturist?</strong><br />
I studied biology and literature as an undergraduate, and then after graduation moved to my mother&#8217;s homeland, Japan. I went there to teach English and experience living abroad. While I was there, I began taking acupuncture classes for fun at a branch of Beijing University. I loved it. Chinese medicine totally made sense to me and took a lot of information into consideration that I found was ignored in Western medicine. It seemed like a perfect combination of my interests and values. I excitedly moved back to Seattle to start Chinese medical school at Bastyr University.</p>
<p><strong>What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?</strong><br />
I am not an extremist and feel that balance is a lifelong goal for all of us in this modern world. I feel that if one accepts that, it can ease a lot of pressure we put on ourselves. My diverse history has exposed me to a lot of experiences and people, and I have no judgement of others. I know that in each of us there is a place where we can feel whole and fulfilled, and I wish to guide my patients to that peaceful place.</p>
<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your work?</strong><br />
I love seeing one become more aware of their mind and body. It is such a special transformation and really a key to being present and living life fully. It is an awareness that can only enhance one&#8217;s life experience and I am constantly honored to be a part of that.</p>
<p><strong>What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?</strong><br />
That it doesn&#8217;t work. Humans are intelligent enough to abandon ideas and philosophies when they don&#8217;t hold up. Anything that has a 3,000 year old history and still exists clearly has some substance and value.</p>
<p><strong>How do you stay healthy in your own life?</strong><br />
Accepting that balance is always a goal. Exercise, enjoying food, living life honorably, finding inspiration, having passion, being respectful and honest, and not being too hard on myself.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fast facts</strong><br />
Practice type: Private<br />
Specialties: Addiction, allergies, general wellness, sexual conditions, women&#8217;s health<br />
Styles: Auricular (ear) acupuncture, NADA, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)</p>
<p><strong>Why did you become an acupuncturist?</strong><br />
I chose to study acupuncture during my third year of naturopathic medicine training, when I realized that acupuncture addresses physical and emotional discomfort in efficient, effective and sustainable ways that are often unmatched in Western medicine. In particular, I was drawn to how Traditional Chinese Medicine views the body and mind holistically, gracefully integrating the treatment of mind, body, and spirit into every acupuncture session. Acupuncture is also appealing because it is accessible to and effective for people with conditions that are not well served by Western medicine, such as sexual issues or addictive and compulsive behaviors. My interest in these areas predates my acupuncture training by over a decade. I’ve worked with harm-reduction organizations, focusing on safer sexual practices and needle exchange programs. So finding an effective, empowering, and sustainable avenue of care made the decision to become an acupuncturist an easy one.</p>
<p><strong>What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?</strong><br />
I work in an integrative medicine setting. My clinic and practice are multidisciplinary: MDs, NDs, and acupuncturists working side by side and often collaborating to treat patients. So I live with one foot in the Western medicine world and one in the Traditional Chinese Medicine world. This gives me experience in explaining acupuncture, which is generally delivered in a language of metaphor that defies easy translation into Western terms, to people who have no previous experience with it. It also gives me good insight into how acupuncture fits into the context of all the other types of healthcare a patient may be receiving. This allows my patients and I to have an informed discussion about what to expect from acupuncture, covering what acupuncture can and cannot provide in comparison with other forms of medicine and self-care.</p>
<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your work?</strong><br />
My favorite part of my job is watching people become more self-sufficient and confident in their wellbeing and recovery. I love talking with people after their first, second, or third acupuncture session when they describe the changes they noticed after their last treatment, even if they struggle to articulate what exactly those changes were. It’s not a report of improvement that I expect or look forward to, but the awareness, hope, and empowerment that arise when people notice a change in how they feel. It’s an old joke that good healthcare providers tend to put themselves out of business, but I appreciate the sentiment behind it. I genuinely enjoy the moment when a patient feels empowered to set their own schedule for follow up, confident they’ll know when their body tells them they need to return</p>
<p><strong>What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?</strong><br />
The biggest misconception I hear is that acupuncture needles are magic—that the needles do the work that makes a person feel better. The needles are tools that allow the body to unstick and refocus its energy in more productive ways. The needles are tools that help unlock unrealized healing potential within the body. The needles facilitate the body’s innate ability to heal. I agree with my patients when they say that acupuncture feels like magic, because sometimes I feel that way too after my own acupuncture sessions. But I take care to explain that despite that feeling we can get from the needles, the magic of good health and healing isn’t in the needle itself. Rather, it’s in the body, mind, and spirit. The needles are efficient tools to access our own healing potential and allow the body to do what it is designed to do—sustain life and wellbeing.</p>
<p><strong>How do you stay healthy in your own life?</strong><br />
Maintaining a work-recreation balance keeps me happy and healthy. My work is balanced between seeing patients, the majority of what I do time-wise, and teaching addictions and disorders classes as adjunct faculty for Bastyr University’s Health Psychology Department. Doing one keeps me energized to do the other. I love providing care for individuals in my office, and also having the opportunity to work in the classroom training the next generation of healthcare providers. Outside of work, my lifestyle sustains me: eating in a way that nourishes me, exercising, sleeping, giving myself downtime from screens and social media, and being with my friends and family. I also use acupuncture and Western medicine to maintain my health. My hobbies include reading and participating in general fiction and science fiction book clubs, knitting, and playing harp in a Seattle-based ceilidh band, Seirm.</p>
<p><strong>In what kind of setting do you deliver acupuncture care?</strong><br />
I work in a clinic that caters to women’s health, though I see both men and women in my practice. I also see children and adolescents over the age of eight. The types of conditions I see most often are musculoskeletal pain, allergies (digestive and environmental), headaches, mental health issues, women’s health concerns, including infertility, and cravings for psychoactive drugs and compulsive behaviors. In addition to being a licensed acupuncturist, I am also a naturopathic physician. I frequently see patients for both naturopathic and acupuncture care, but do so in separate appointments. An acupuncture appointment usually lasts 30-45 minutes and can be scheduled back-to-back with a naturopathic medicine appointment if desired. I am credentialed with and accept most private insurance plans, and offer a time-of-service cash discount to patients who do not have insurance or do not receive acupuncture benefits from their insurance plan.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fast facts</strong><br />
Practice type: Community<br />
Specialties: Addiction, anxiety, back pain, sports injuries, women&#8217;s health<br />
Styles: Auricular (ear) acupuncture, community acupuncture, Dr. Tan&#8217;s Balance Method</p>
<p><strong>Why did you become an acupuncturist?</strong><br />
In the 4th grade, at the age of 10, I began to meditate. Not because I came from some long line of healers, but because I had been waking up in the middle of the night in agony. My 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Wolfe, was mean as a nest of hornets, and I was having nervous stomach pain. I was lucky that the ER doc told me I needed to learn to relax, instead of throwing a bunch of Ritalin or Prozac at me. So, I began exploring ways to relax.  </p>
<p>I was into martial arts with my friend Jim, and had learned how to use my mind to overcome pain while fighting. I was a big science nerd, and I began to read about meditation and visualization exercises and bio feedback. Out of that, I began practicing a simple form of meditation. No gurus, no “grass hopper,&#8221;—just a simple from of mental and physical relaxation. It worked. I overcame my fears of Mrs. Wolfe, quieted my nervous stomach, and learned that the mind and the body are connected in ways we have just now begun to understand. </p>
<p>Out of that, my interest in Chinese philosophy and ways of life were born. It also didn’t hurt that my grandfather, who had been stationed in China, had brought lots of Chinese artwork back from WWII. It was always there as a backdrop during my visits to his house. Funny how staring at a big Buddha for 18 years can make you wonder about the world!</p>
<p>After that early exposure to meditation and the power of the mind over the body, I began using sports as a sort of moving meditation. My favorites were basketball and volleyball because of the steady action and movement. Later, I became an avid cyclist.</p>
<p>My father’s mother taught me that you could eat things out of your yard, and that some plants were medicinal. My father’s father taught me about vitamins and standing on your head. He said it clears the brain and helps you live a long time, which evidently worked. Or maybe he lived a long time in spite of it! My mother taught me that eating right and getting rest were the most important things to good health. My dad taught me how to hit golf balls, be nice to people, and do the hard work in life, first.</p>
<p>Later in life, I worked for Greenpeace, and was surrounded by people who were into all kinds of alternative healing work. That exposure to new ideas, and to the problems our planet faces, changed my life. After that, I began looking for a new career, one that would allow me to help other people and provide solutions to problems, and that would be a life-long learning and growth process. This is something I can do until I am very old.</p>
<p>After much soul searching, I discovered acupuncture. I explored many therapies, including chiropractic, massage, allopathic medicine, etc., but acupuncture seemed to be the very best fit for how I viewed health. Acupuncture took into consideration all of who a person is, and all the influences on their life, including diet, exercise, parents&#8217; health, job and relationship stresses, sleep, and on and on. It is also profoundly effective, well established (3,000 year history) and extremely safe. </p>
<p>It turned out that my wife’s college roommate’s mother was an acupuncturist. I went to visit her and she was radiant, happy, and very wise. I knew I wanted those qualities in my life. Then I met the faculty and students at the Tai Sophia Institute in Columbia, MD, and that sealed the deal! I studied at Tai Sophia (then it was the Traditional Acupuncture Institute) for three and a half years, earned a master’s degree, and started my first practice. All together, with the clinical portion of my studies, I have been practicing for over 14 years.</p>
<p>I searched for many months for the right office space, and found a beautiful space on the second floor of a chiropractor’s building. The best part is that the office is just up the block from my house, which means I can walk to work!</p>
<p><strong>What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?</strong><br />
I think what sets me apart is my confidence and compassion for others. I really understand what it&#8217;s like to be in pain, and I&#8217;ve been healed, and helped others to heal and recover, so I know what it takes to pull through.</p>
<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your work?</strong><br />
I most enjoy the surprise and delight patients experience when they find out that a few little needles can make them feel so much better. I also really like when people tell me that acupuncture has changed their lives.</p>
<p><strong>What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?</strong><br />
I think that the biggest misconception about acupuncture is that it&#8217;s only good for pain. Acupuncture is so great for wellbeing in general, and especially for anxiety, menstrual and infertility issues, digestive issues and so much more!</p>
<p><strong>How do you stay healthy in your own life?</strong><br />
I get a lot of exercise, eat whole foods that are in season as much as possible, and I get acupuncture, bodywork and chiropractic. I race bicycles, swim, lift weights, and take hikes as often as I can. I also do yoga and meditate.</p>
<p><strong>What drew you to community acupuncture?</strong><br />
I like the fact that people can afford to come in often enough to really get good results. I also really like that people are so thankful that they can afford it. I also love the pace!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fast facts</strong><br />
Practice type: Community<br />
Specialties: Addiction, anxiety, general wellness, pain, women&#8217;s health<br />
Styles: Dr. Tan&#8217;s Balance Method, herbal therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)</p>
<p><strong>Why did you become an acupuncturist?</strong><br />
I was living in Hong Kong in 1996, and a couple of acupuncture visits got me out of some serious pain. That caught my interest and led to a career change. I practiced privately until 2009, when I learned about the community acupuncture model. I restructured my practice and never looked back! Brenna Lewis and I opened Toronto Community Acupuncture (ToCA) in 2011 to serve Toronto’s east end.</p>
<p><strong>What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?</strong><br />
At Toronto Community Acupuncture (ToCA) we treat in a group setting. We try to make it easy for people to take care of themselves with acupuncture. We charge affordable rates, and we take online bookings and accept walk-ins whenever possible. People can stay as long as they like for their treatments because we have plenty of comfortable recliners.</p>
<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your work?</strong><br />
I love the community acupuncture model because I get to see and treat a lot of people from many backgrounds, with a wide variety of complaints. I love working in a space where people arrive to take care of themselves and take a break from their busy lives. It is so rare in our society that we stop and take time to be still, and there’s nothing quite like being around that kind of peacefulness whenever you go to work!</p>
<p><strong>What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?</strong><br />
Sadly, most people considering acupuncture assume that they won’t be able to afford it. We are glad to provide accessible treatments, because in most cases, acupuncture needs to be received regularly to make an impact on your health. For an acute problem, a few sessions might be enough, but for chronic health issues, regular treatment can make all the difference to one’s quality of life. People are not going to do that unless they can afford it.</p>
<p><strong>How do you stay healthy in your own life?</strong><br />
Daily walks in Toronto’s ravines with my dog, stretching, and regular meditation. Quality time with my family. I try to have fun and see the world through my kids&#8217; eyes. And regular acupuncture, one of the perks of my job!</p>
<p><strong>What do you love about acupuncture?</strong><br />
I love that acupuncture can do so much with so little, and it really just reminds your body how to heal itself. It’s inexpensive to administer and, no matter what you are getting treated for, it’s calming and helps you to digest and sleep better. It helps us to manage stress, and who doesn’t need that?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fast facts</strong><br />
Practice type: Private<br />
Specialties: Addiction, anxiety, depression, musculoskeletal pain, stress<br />
Styles: Classical acupuncture</p>
<p><strong>Why did you become an acupuncturist?</strong><br />
I did not like my first acupuncture treatment. It felt way too personal and intimate, something I wasn’t used to in my other healthcare experiences. When my acupuncturist felt my pulse, she closed her eyes and her face became serious. I wondered if she thought I was possessed. She didn’t say so. Instead she sweetly asked to see my tongue. I pushed out the tip. She inquired about the details of my life. I lied to her. But over time I fell in love with acupuncture—the lightness and ease that it brought to my struggles, the clarity it provided during periods of emotional turmoil, the support I felt in making healthier choices. One of those choices was making acupuncture a career. What I enjoy most about being an acupuncturist is helping others live more fully, more easily.</p>
<p><strong>What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?</strong><br />
I incorporate naturopathic medicine into my practice and provide nutritional counseling, individualized detoxification programs, and use a focused approach to nutritional and herbal supplementation including spagyric and homeopathic remedies. I teach Focusing, a mindfulness process, which is especially helpful for people struggling with depression and anxiety. </p>
<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your work?</strong><br />
I love that I have a job where I can play with needles and fire and it’s considered acceptable. But I really enjoy the work I do with women in their early stages of recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. It can be one of the most challenging and transformational times in their lives. I am grateful that I get to be a part of it.</p>
<p><strong>What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?</strong><br />
Acupuncture only treats pain. It has helped many of my patients with conditions that are considered mental health issues including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and ADD/ADHD. </p>
<p><strong>How do you stay healthy in your own life?</strong><br />
I eat foods that taste good and help me feel well. I like to walk, especially in the mountains. I treat myself to acupuncture in between seasons.</p>
<p><strong>Do you practice in any locations other than your Renton office?</strong><br />
Yes. I see patients at my private practice in downtown Seattle and I offer retreats in the small town of Quilcene, Washington on the Olympic Penninsula, about two-and-a-half hours from Seattle.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fast facts</strong><br />
Practice type: Hybrid<br />
Specialties: Addiction, insomnia, musculoskeletal pain, respiratory conditions, women&#8217;s health<br />
Styles: Five Element acupuncture, NADA, pediatric acupuncture</p>
<p><strong>Why did you become an acupuncturist?</strong><br />
I decided to change my career to acupuncture after being a patient for several years and finding that acupuncture changed my outlook. I worked in corporate America for over 20 years and was well on my way to being sick and miserable in my life. Acupuncture changed all of that. I am now happy and grateful and full of hope. I live life with wonder each and every day and I cannot think of a better gift for my patients.</p>
<p><strong>What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?</strong><br />
As a practitioner I approach every session as an openhearted intelligent acupuncturist who creates an open, safe, nonjudgmental space for my clients. My goal is to help my patients find their way to inner peace through health and passion in their lives. I have spent much of my life in service to others both personally and in business. I believe that my unique training and skills give me the ability to help people successfully achieve their health and happiness goals.</p>
<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your work?</strong><br />
I specialize in treating women and children in all the stages of their lives and development. I have found that issues of infertility, depression, heart break and anxiety are often significant factors in women&#8217;s lives. At Dynamic Strategies Acupuncture I specialize in helping women through these life challenges so that they find true joy and fulfillment in their lives. Children and teens have their own unique challenges as they have to grow up in a complex world. At Dynamic Strategies Acupuncture I am concerned with giving children and teens a natural treatment modality for the issues that face them during their growth. I use many different techniques from the traditions of Chinese medicine, aromatherapy, Bach flower essence, and Zero Balancing to treat pain and enhance the health of my patients. I believe that wellness comes from within—when there is an alignment of body, mind and spirit, healing is just around the corner.</p>
<p><strong>What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?</strong><br />
I often hear that people are afraid of needles and that they have heard acupuncture hurts. In acupuncture we use a different kind of needle from what you are used to in the doctor&#8217;s office. We use a solid needle the width of several fine hairs. Sometimes, in some locations, the needle sensation can be exciting. It is nothing like a bee sting because the sensation lasts less than five seconds.</p>
<p><strong>How do you stay healthy in your own life?</strong><br />
I stay healthy in my life by cooking all organic foods from scratch that I grow on the farm where I grew up. I truly believe that cutting out all food processing and knowing exactly where your ingredients come from can help solve nine out of 10 health issues. I also walk several times a week and meditate on a regular basis.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fast facts</strong><br />
Practice type: Private<br />
Specialties: Addiction, anxiety, general wellness, musculoskeletal pain, stress<br />
Styles: Auricular (ear) acupuncture, herbal therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine</p>
<p><strong>Why did you become an acupuncturist?</strong><br />
After 12 years in the world of sales and marketing, I became dispassionate in my work and decided I needed to make a change that would feed my passion to truly help others. Acupuncture has personally had a major impact on my quality of life, as a patient. I am passionate about the medicine, as it treats each person as an individual and it addresses the whole person. I chose to be an acupuncturist to help others on their path to wellness, by listening to them and their goals while practicing the medicine that I whole heartedly believe in.</p>
<p><strong>What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?</strong><br />
I have the knowledge and experience as a practitioner but am always seeking more information on how to help others feel better. I strive to educate others to consider what their bodies already know and are asking for. I am passionate about facilitation and empowerment of people to make better lifestyle choices and to help them reach their wellness goals. Every patient is unique and is treated as such. In my practice, acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, Reiki and other modalities are combined to customize the best treatment for each patient.</p>
<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your work?</strong><br />
I enjoy watching my patients become aware of themselves. I enjoy watching them find relief and confidence in their ability to have active rolls in their personal wellness. I enjoy learning something new every day from every patient I see. When I see that my patients are progressing and feeling better I know that the day is good and I am doing exactly what I love.</p>
<p><strong>What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?</strong><br />
Acupuncture only treats pain. In 1997 the National Institutes of Health published a Consensus Statement on the use and effectiveness of acupuncture for a variety of conditions. The World Health Organization (WHO) also recognizes the use of acupuncture in the treatment of a wide range of common illnesses. Acupuncture is a tool for restoring balance in the body. It can be used for a variety of treatments, such as addiction, sustained recovery, aid in weight loss, help with PTSD, infertility issues, pre and post-operative care, and also works as a preventive therapy.</p>
<p><strong>How do you stay healthy in your own life?</strong><br />
I am not an extremist. &#8220;Everything in moderation.&#8221; I eat healthy most of the time but do not deprive myself of my favorites. I practice gratitude daily. I strive to take nothing for granted. I love life. Time with family and friends, but also time alone, replenishes my spirit. Hydration, motion and meditation are important to me. My exercise can range from aggressive sports, qigong, a gentle swim, stretching daily, walking when I can and sometimes just thinking about exercise is enough. I practice that I don&#8217;t have to be perfect. I just have to keep trying and setting goals.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fast facts</strong><br />
Practice type: Hybrid<br />
Specialties: Addiction, digestive conditions, general wellness, menstrual conditions, stress<br />
Styles: Community acupuncture, herbal therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)</p>
<p><strong>Why did you become an acupuncturist?</strong><br />
I was introduced to acupuncture through delving into the world of Taoism. I was fascinated by living life in accordance to cycles, seasons, and nature. Chinese medicine incorporated many of my interests including herbalogy, nutrition, breath work, movement therapy, and acupuncture.</p>
<p><strong>What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?</strong><br />
I strive to make my patients feel comfortable, cared for, and safe. Talking about our bodies is very vulnerable and delicate, and I make this experience as positive as possible. I offer not only private sessions, but also community style, and do home visits, making my services affordable and accessible to all.</p>
<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your work?</strong><br />
The biggest reward for me is to see quality of life increase for those who did not realize that was possible. I love hearing positive results from patients about certain aspects of their life that they had not even realized was out of balance, but that has been corrected through treatment. I also love educating patients about their bodies, and ways in which they can make healthy choices throughout their day for continual healing.</p>
<p><strong>What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve heard many times people say that they thought acupuncture was only good for pain and stress. It is a completely honest misconception, one that perhaps I even had many years ago. I love being able to explain to people that this is a whole system of medicine, and that it can do so much more!</p>
<p><strong>How do you stay healthy in your own life?</strong><br />
Living in a place like Humboldt makes it easy to stay healthy. I ride my bike everywhere, go for hikes, eat local organic food from the farmers market, practice tai chi, qi gong, and love taking longevity herbs such as reishi mushroom. I am a huge believer that food is medicine, and am loving learning more about cooking.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fast facts</strong><br />
Practice type: Community<br />
Specialties: Addiction, emotional health, general wellness, musculoskeletal pain, stress<br />
Styles: Dr. Tan&#8217;s Balance Method, auricular (ear) acupuncture, scalp acupuncture, herbal therapy</p>
<p><strong>Why did you become an acupuncturist?</strong><br />
I was only able to afford acupuncture because I found Alberta Street Acupuncture in Portland, OR, which offered sliding scale services. They helped me with a number of chronic health conditions in a way that pharmaceutical drugs couldn’t. I also worked as a counselor at a detox program where NADA ear acupuncture was used on a daily basis for recovering alcoholics and heroin addicts—many with severe psychiatric conditions, some who lived on the streets. I saw how it helped them calm down, get through detox and stay engaged with recovery. These experiences radically transformed how I understood community health. I wanted to learn how to make acupuncture more accessible to everyday people, and how to facilitate the growth of community-based clinics.</p>
<p><strong>What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?</strong><br />
For me acupuncture is a community-building tool. Understood as such, this puts less emphasis on myself or my charisma. I’m not a guru, not going to pose as the be all and end all of your medical care. My outreach and my ability to facilitate changes in people is highly limited if I’m the only one providing acupuncture within a given community. Anything that is dependent solely on me will not be sustainable. My role therefore is not only to provide treatments, but also to get local health workers trained, and to help others establish clinics that are community-based.</p>
<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your work?</strong><br />
In a community clinic, it’s exciting to see diverse people of different backgrounds share a space. Several of my colleagues have started up clinics within Catholic churches, open to the public regardless of creed, for people who’ve never had access to acupuncture nor would have ever sought out or been able to afford an acupuncturist. I recently visited one of these churches, where a group of Mormons in the neighborhood started coming, and subsequently invited them to come offer a clinic in the nearby Mormon temple. Stories like this remind me that acupuncture isn’t just for well off liberals and new age folks. Acupuncture is, as has been traditionally in China, for the poor and the rich, the worker and the unemployed, the conservative and the liberal, the atheist as well as the born-again Christian. Acupuncture is for everyone. I love seeing this happen.</p>
<p><strong>What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?</strong><br />
That acupuncture is only for people who have disposable income or who are liberal. There’s a growing number of community acupuncture and public health clinics that offer affordable services. Some addictions and mental health programs offer ear acupuncture as an adjunct to standard treatment, many of which operate in very conservative and rural areas of the U.S. These types of clinics will continue to make acupuncture accessible to people who would probably never seek out an acupuncturist. If you can’t afford any of the acupuncturists in your town, ask them to offer affordable sliding scale or community acupuncture treatments. They need to hear from you.</p>
<p><strong>How do you stay healthy in your own life?</strong><br />
Being involved in my community while always finding time and space for solitude and nature. Have to pray. Every day.</p>

<p><strong>Why did you become an acupuncturist?</strong><br />
I become aware of the need for alternative and integrative clinicians that healed patients. I saw the brilliance and effectiveness of the Chinese medical system.</p>
<p><strong>What distinguishes you from other acupuncturists?</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve done an incredible amount of internal healing and can facilitate this in others. I am adept at discerning where others hold their blocks and can gently move this to allow change in clients.</p>
<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your work?</strong><br />
I am deeply gratified at helping clients change. Watching the moment when they are transformed and find what they thought missing.</p>
<p><strong>What is the biggest misconception you hear about acupuncture?</strong><br />
Acupuncture is not a quick fix. It can have dramatic results but it still entails a commitment to a process of change. The body can heal itself. If it&#8217;s not doing that, some adjustments need to be made.</p>
<p><strong>How do you stay healthy in your own life?</strong><br />
I meditate, do qigong and eat well. I stay connected to my community and know when I need to recharge with nature and spiritual work.</p>
