Acupuncturist/Herbalist
I
have been an Acupuncturist/Herbalist for 17 years. I came
to this field because while I was a dancer, and like all
dancers I sustained a few injuries. Each time the doctors
couldn't tell me how to help it heal and they all said "Stay
off it." So, I decided I would learn how the body heals
itself. I have always been fascinated by the human body.
It is truly amazing what it does. I have never liked drugs,
even aspirin and could always feel that it was doing something
to my body that wasn't right.
My choice in helping people is to help them naturally. Aupuncture
works with the bodys own healing abilities, actually, this
is still under the direcion of the immune system, it is
not a vague concept. Also, I enjoy using herbs to help people
instead of medications. Herbs have many different effects,
anti-viral properties, anti-bacterial, hormonal effects,
central nervous system effects... and the list goes on,
and they do not cretate undesireable side-effects. I get
to help people without hurting them.
I have been on a number of television shows discussing wholisic
health. The KTLA Morning news show sveral times. The Roseanne
Show. Home and Garden newtworks Smaret Solutions many times
between 2000 and 2004.
I have been interviewed by Teen magazine, Men's Health,
Vanity Fair, and Yoga Journal.
I have also been on numerous radio interviews across the
United States.
A speaker at the LA Times Health and Fitness Festival, and
a moderator on a panel at the UCLA Health Festival.
I have given talks locally on subjects ranging from hormones
to bacterial infections to keeping your kids healthy.
I am a certifed Sport's Nutritionist as well. Diet is a
crucial part of health.
I have also been teaching yoga for 12 years. There is no
mind/body sepapration, and what goes on in the mind will
affect the body. I work on my own health by continuing a
yoga practice.
