Why did you choose to practice acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a well-known and highly effective treatment in my hometown. One day, while I was watching a teaching video about acupuncture, a thought flashed into my head—this treatment is really cool and amazing! After that, I learned and practiced acupuncture for many years and found that it really works, it efficiently helps people holistically. I want to give people a chance to experience the magic of acupuncture.

I always tell patients to listen to your body and pay attention to listen. Practice more deep breathing and then you can heal yourself well.
