Practically speaking, I was led to Traditional Chinese Medicine through my own experiences with loved ones who had not received the healing they hoped for when using Western Medicine alone. I sought out a medicine that was holistic in nature with the intention of sharing it widely and especially in communities that lacked access to a variety of healing modalities. I believe that all healing practices should be equally accessible to all people in order to ensure our own good health and that of our society. In my day to day life, I enjoy nerding out over plants, the universe, speculative/science fiction,

camping and writing.
