"It is my greatest passion to share the sacred medicine of the pelvis with acupuncturists around the globe. Over the past decade, I have developed a comprehensive approach that incorporates a range of acupuncture tools, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Spirit of the Points, Manual Therapy, and Muscle-Specific Ashi Point Needling (also known as Dry Needling), to effectively treat the pelvis and the whole person. I'd love to have you join me in sharing this work with your clients."
