What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about practicing acupuncture is helping people approach medicine differently, using natural methods that God has provided for us. I particularly love working with women and mothers who want to explore natural options, whether it’s supporting fertility, pregnancy, or natural labor induction. I’ve also seen great success treating patients with migraines, headaches, pain, and sciatica. What drew me to acupuncture initially was my frustration with conventional medicine—seeing family and friends go from one treatment to another without real answers. I feel that we’ve lost the knowledge of how to use the herbs, spices, and plants God gave us, and I am passionate about helping patients harness what their bodies naturally recognize to promote healing, rather than relying solely on synthetic drugs.
