What Can Acupuncture Treat?

My world view is shaped by a life of travel. My father was an airline pilot and my mother a flight attendant so I was on a plane early. This has opened my eyes and curiosity to the world. I am lucky enough to have visited over 50 countries so far, and have circcumnavigated the world. I have also lived overseas, in Japan, Australia and Africa. Other than acupuncture my off times involve water sports, surfing, traveling and a love for food. I started as a natural foods chef, have studied Reiki, macrobiotics, reflexology and shiatsu.
