In 1995 I was injured at work, and suffered from chronic pain. Doctors told me that there was nothing they could do, that I had to get used to living in pain. I had no intention of doing that.

In 1996 I started acupuncture school. I learned how to treat most diseases using Chinese medicine, which includes acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine.

I received my Master of Science in Oriental Medicine in Austin, Texas in 1999.
