Philosophy of Practice
I believe healing happens in the space between technique and presence, in how we meet the person in front of us, not just what we do. Every patient deserves to feel seen, not like a number or a protocol. That calls for structure instead of chaos, boundaries that protect against burnout, and a commitment to excellence without ego.
We don’t just needle points. With calm attention and steady hands, we meet people where they are and make space for the medicine to work.
Even the most ordinary moment can carry meaning when approached with presence.
Mentorship Vision
This philosophy is the heart of The Practice Within.
The mentorship was created for thoughtful, committed practitioners who want to grow without over-performing. Many new acupuncturists feel pressure to market themselves before they’ve built clinical confidence. Social media can be powerful, but it’s not the only way. A practice can also grow through relationships, word of mouth, consistent care, and strong clinical foundations. That’s how I built mine.
This mentorship is for those who want a sustainable practice that reflects their values, energy, and integrity. It’s for practitioners who may not see themselves in the loudest voices online, but know they have something meaningful to offer.
I created this space because it’s what I needed early on: a place to ask honest questions, honor the medicine, and build something lasting without losing myself along the way.
The Practice Within is for those who value depth over performance, intention over burnout. It’s for practitioners who care deeply about the medicine and want a practice that feels true and sustainable - without needing to be everywhere to succeed.
