Chinese Medicine changed my life. I used to be the person that got sick when a bug first circulated the community and again after everyone else had it. I was always sick. That changed once I got regular acupuncture treatments. I had a course of facial rejuvenation acupuncture (ten treatments once a week) ,which also works on improving your overall constitution. Once the course was completed, not only did I look years younger, I very rarely ever got sick again! (And the effects have lasted years!)
Alternative medicine has always been my first love. While working at a law firm, I decided I needed a change. I was a single mother and my daughter had many health issues requiring treatment with Western medicine. We were not happy about the side effects and the usually inefficient medications my daughter was constantly put on. So to change the direction of our lives, I thought, “What matters the most to me? What interests me?” Alternative medicine! Herbs specifically! Natural healing!
That’s when I began my schooling at the Santa Barbara College of Oriental Medicine. After a year of study there, I relocated to Los Angeles and received my Master’s degree at Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, California. In their four year program, I was taught Traditional Oriental Medicine by many superior doctors from China, most of them with Western medical degrees as well. I will always be grateful to my teachers and I am still in contact with them today. It was a wonderful experience that has lead me to a wonderful life helping
