As many of you know, I was a massage therapist for about a dozen years before I became an acupuncturist. While I was in college to learn TCM, I was blessed with the opportunity to transform my massage clients into road maps of discovery. The walls of my treatment room were always covered with handmade pictures and notes of whatever I was studying at the time. As my hands explored the acupuncture channels, my fingers... Read more
Sometimes I need to see the bigger picture. I’m reminded of the story of the logger who is so busy working in the forest, harvesting and hauling trees, that he never takes time to stop and consider the forest itself.

I’ve worked in and around the profession for the last 14 years, which doesn’t... Read more

John Matzke was told he had only 18 months to live. His oncologist insisted he immediately begin aggressive treatment for the melanoma that had metastasized to his lung. But John instead took a month off to strengthen his body before the grueling treatment began. He hiked, meditated, exercised and ate organic food. A month later, his lung tumor had completely disappeared on its own. Though melanoma is one of the deadliest cancers, John never started... Read more

I still have that paper, and I pulled it out today just for the sheer nostalgia of considering how I ended up so interested in blue lasers for acupuncture. The year was 2000, and the blue laser was... Read more
