The Beauty of Choice

When I meet with my patients for the first time, I tell them that in order for their healing to progress in the best way possible, they too must become involved with their care. My involvement is to discern what the energetic disharmony is, explain that to my patient, and to empower them with techniques to restore harmony in their own lives each day. I will administer acupuncture once or twice a week, choose the best herbs for the individual, and create a lifestyle diet that supports physical and emotional health. What the patient chooses to do with the information I provide, in every moment of everyday, in every breath, is up to them. The beauty of choice, is that it represents it's self constantly. If one day you realize didn't eat so well, or you forgot to take a dose of herbs, then with the next breath, you have the opportunity to begin again. Every moment, every breath, brings with it a new opportunity for healing, for us to take.
