Me?
Life time of serving those in pain and suffering
Multi modality – always weaving food and lifestyle and body work in with the classical acupuncture beginnings.
Through a mother’s eyes (began study with a 6 week old baby on my chest as I hitch hiked up and down the East Coast of Australia to classes) and as a woman who would not accept limitations.
Privately, through another pregnancy and yet another as I concurrently wed being mum with being the master teacher and decoding for others – how to easily affect massive shifts in seemingly difficult life circumstances.
Paraplegia, cancers, endless pain (prior to modern drugs) were all assisted with the ‘always, always, always follow nature’ mantra I had gleaned from a master herbalist/pulse master (Dr John Shen) in the few times I had sat at his feet absorbing all I could. Called to write a new college curriculum, I brought in a classmate and together we co designed and co wrote/taught an undergraduate acupuncture course in a new college.
For me as well as adding in new children into my life, I morphed into more. Seeing a need in my profession to take everyone further – as I had pushed myself and my own practice – I developed weekend workshops and the teaching manuals into the Moving Blockages to Healing style of acupuncture. Along the way I became the mother of a massively damaged baby. Fighting for her survival, (and now 34 years later – STILL ) her rights to be and to have a voice .
Adequately equipped, having been working at the edge of deemed ‘hopeless’ (medical versions) and life and death, for others – especially in tricky pregnancy retrieval and the new scourge infertility, (prior to the IVF), from and through the AIDS crisis (prior to the dangerous drugs) into working at any interface of anything seen as being ‘too hard’.
When all else fails.
This means – if you need to find what you need to do I personally and professionally have decades of likely helpful entries for you to delve into yourself.
