                "description": "It's nice to meet you. As a practitioner, teacher, and speaker, I've been practicing Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for over a decade. While I've got tons of respect for conventional Western-based medicine, its surgical reductiveness often omits the importance of how crucial relationships are to our wholeness. I am most interested in helping people (as Ken Wilbur says) \"grow up, clean up, wake up, and show up.\"Growing up helps us mature into our full potential.Cleaning up resets our priorities towards wholeness.Waking up provides a deeper awareness of our participation in collective suffering.Showing up teaches us how to serve our family, community, and world.Whole-self integration must include all aspects of your experience. My work is more like Whole-care instead of health care.My path to holistic healing was sparked by a deeply transformative experience with a severe and rare tick disease. This event propelled me on a quest for a more integrated approach, which I discovered in the profound teachings of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. I furthered my education by earning a Master's in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University in Santa Cruz, California, and specializing in Five Element Acupuncture under the guidance of Lonny Jarrett and Lorie Eve Dechar. I also had the privilege of training at Zhejiang Chinese Medical University in Hangzhou, China, and Liaoning Chinese Medical University in Shenyang, China.I've held Internships in Fertility, Sports Injuries, and East Asian bodywork techniques such as Yin and Yang styles of Tuina (Chinese orthopedic massage), Cupping, GuaSha (Scraping), Shiatsu, and Craniosacral. I'm a Diplomate of the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and [East Asian] Medicine, the American Academy of Physical [East Asian] Medicine, and the International Institute of Medical Qigong. My Bachelor's degree is in Biomedical Science from Colorado State University.In my free time, I can be found gardening with my wife and son, drinking tea, and composing haiku."
