Hi, I’m Christine — an acupuncture graduate student with a deep passion for holistic healing, herbal medicine, and the connection between body and mind. I created this site to share what I’m learning on my journey to becoming a licensed acupuncturist and to make Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) more accessible to anyone seeking balance and wellness.
My interest in natural medicine started long before graduate school. As a personal trainer and nutrition coach, I saw firsthand how lifestyle choices shape our health. But I also noticed that lasting change often requires something deeper — an understanding of energy, emotion, and internal balance. That realization led me to acupuncture and herbal medicine, where ancient principles meet modern insight.
Through my studies and clinical training, I’m learning how acupuncture, herbal formulas, and lifestyle medicine work together to restore harmony in the body. My goal is to share those insights here — translating complex concepts into approachable, evidence-informed articles that empower you to take charge of your well-being.
A little more about me:
- Graduate student in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine
- Certified personal trainer and nutrition coach
- Experienced writer for The Manual and other wellness publications
- Passionate about bridging Eastern and Western approaches to health
On this site, you’ll find articles that explore acupuncture, herbs, seasonal living, and holistic wellness — all grounded in both science and tradition. My hope is that you leave inspired, informed, and connected to the idea that healing is something we can all cultivate.
Thank you for being here. I’m so glad you are. Feel free to explore the articles, learn something new, and follow along as I continue this journey toward becoming a licensed acupuncturist.
