While recovering from my accident, I began acupuncture treatments to aid in my recovery. The effect was astonishing. I went from being completely immobilized to moving again, far sooner than expected. I was so grateful—and truly amazed—at how effective the treatment was. In that moment, I knew acupuncture was something I needed to study and understand. After qualifying as an acupuncturist, one of my first clients was a woman who had been trying to get pregnant for years without success. She was frustrated, disillusioned, and nearly ready to give up. It was my first major challenge! With focus and honesty, I worked with her over the following months, and to our shared joy, she conceived shortly after. The experience was transformative for both of us. Seeing the profound impact that acupuncture could have on fertility sparked a passion in me, and I began diving deeper into this field. Around the same time, my sister received the heartbreaking diagnosis of cancer. On top of this, she had lived for years with the knowledge that she could never have children due to a back condition diagnosed when she was just sixteen. Witnessing her struggles and knowing the deep desire for motherhood in so many women further fueled my dedication to fertility and women’s health.
