What inspired you to begin working in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture?

My inspiration to study Chinese Medicine and acupuncture started when I was growing up in Nepal with my Nepalese father and Ukrainian mother and any time anyone was sick, the first point of call was the Ayurveda doctor. I have always been inquisitive by nature and ask questions to myself about how the body works and why diseases arise. Understanding the root cause of illness was the path to understanding the solution. Fast forward to today and my passion for combining Western and Eastern medicine has led me to acquire a depth of understanding to treat my patients on a one-on-one basis by understanding their whole health history and using proven methods to guide them step-by-step to reach their health goals.

What do you love about Chinese Medicine?

I love Chinese Medicine because it works. Chinese Medicine is an extensively researched science-based form of medicine that I have seen address chronic and acute illnesses. Seeing patients have relief and results is important to me. By addressing the root cause of a disease, a patient is put on a path of finding balance within their bodies.
