The Plan
Click the buttons below for links referencing some intended highlights of the trip. Some of the exciting details include a WHO approved externship in China where I will take a course on cosmetology and nutrition and spend time volunteering in local hospitals; teaching Buddhist monks english in Thailand; Taiji & Qi Gong wherever I can get involved; and 7 weeks volunteer work with The Acupuncture Relief project in remote villages in Nepal. During this adventure I plan on bringing my love of Acupuncture through its point of origin to really solidify skills before starting a practice in the states. Moreover, I am on a mission to share this beautiful medicine and help as many people as possible along the way. It will be so amazingly humbling to do this and I am very excited to share my passion with integrity. This experience will be paramount to my efficacy as an Acupuncturist, and will really help me hone in on specialties, while refining and expanding the foundations fostered in Graduate school. I will see and treat things that are likely to never be seen in America, so my unyielding gratitude is extended to you for taking the time to check out my site and contributing what you can. Ultimately, I would like to expand The Great Acupuncture Adventure to become an attainable program that other students can partake in in the future.
