CHA bio.

[Guest guest]

Hello All.

 

I should introduce myself. I try to keep up w/ CHA as much as possible. I

learn a ton from

it as a new practioner. Thank you for all the knowledge and experience that you

all share!

 

I graduated a couple years ago from PCOM-SD. I started my own practice in the

Banker's

Hill part of San Diego. I sublease space to a certified rolfer with 18 years

experience, and

a colon hydrotherapist. I am looking to bring in another acupuncturist to team

up with,

with different areas/specialties/interests in care, and to team up in marketing.

I have had

business coaching over the last 6 months and have learned a ton about business

and

marketing. (The more I learn, the more I realize I do not know!) I want to

have another

acupuncturist to brainstorm and bounce ideas off of, and I want to market each

other. I

want a real visionary, to balance off my analytical character. (I've never

really believed in

competition in this profession. Each practioner brings with them a specific set

of skills,

interests, experiences, personality, and energy that will attract a specific

type of patient.)

 

I grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I have a BS (premed) from Univ. of

Wisc.-Madison. I

lived in LA for a couple years, worked as a school teacher while I nourished the

badly

deficient right side of my brain, by acting, dancing, drawing, writing. I fell

upon a OMD in

Santa Monica because a (very western and conservative) physiology professor of

mine at

UCLA suggested I go see her for stomach problems. She said that she had no idea

how

that stuff worked. All she knew was that the woman stuck needles in her, gave

her some

gross little black balls to swallow, and she got better. As soon as I arrived

in her office, I

felt such a calm. That lead me to cancel my vet school interviews (yes, vet

school, not

med school. . .med school just didn't feel right anymore), and apply to PCOM.

(The first

treatment I received, I went home and slept very, very deeply for 18 hours

straight. I felt

like a new person when I woke up!)

 

If anyone is interested in growing a practice in banker's hill, please email me!

 

Thanks again for all the help and experience you all offer.
