Hey there! I am an NCCAOM certified acupuncturist and herbalist that’s been practicing for 6.5 years. I joined Jersey Shore Acupuncture last year as a sub and have stayed on ever since! You can find me at JSA on Mondays and Fridays.
My Barbie is set in a Metal element background. Metal people can seem shy or aloof but that’s because Metal is all about precision - whether it be words or actions, we want to get it right the first time. If Fire is about celebration and Earth is about comfort, Metal is about reverence.
Being of Chinese heritage I was aware of the medicine growing up but chalked it up as cultural and folk knowledge, something encountered in old kung fu movies and Chinatowns. It wasn’t until I started studying the internal martial arts that I realized the things I was figuring out in training could be used to heal.. and that maybe the medicine was legit.
Coming to acupuncture from the martial arts means there is a high chance you’re showing up on my table because of some sort of pain. I consider myself a general practitioner though so I’m technically game for anything.
Some favorite pastimes:
Hikes. I joke that, like a dog, I require regular walkies.
Xing Yi Quan. This is the primary martial art I practice.
Archery. Favorite style has been Asiatic thumb draw.
Craft beer. Tasty.
