🧧 Diary Entry
As I sit here, a certain contemplation has taken hold of me.
Over the past years, while I wasn’t actively practicing, I continued to pour my energy and knowledge into teaching and supporting you all.
I’ve often struggled with this duality—being a mentor without being in the trenches myself at the time.
I invested significantly, both financially and personally to acquire knowledge that I believed in deeply enough to teach.
And for years, I’ve shared this knowledge, teaching countless others through various platforms like AcuPerfect websites, AcuDownloads, and the educational tools at Acupuncture Media Works.
My focus was wholly on providing you with the resources to help your practices thrive.
While I wasn’t practicing, I was busy, very busy indeed, LOL!
But it wasn’t with patient consultations or managing a clinic.
This disconnect between teaching best practices and not applying them in real-time to grow a practice myself sometimes weighed heavily on me.
Reflecting on this, I want to share that my absence from practice wasn’t just due to my focus on teaching.
During this time, I was also raising a beautiful child. The flexibility in my schedule, the freedom from the 9-5 routine—truth be told, I didn’t miss being in clinic at all. 😮😳😍
It was a joy and a privilege to have those precious years, and they gave me something invaluable that a strict schedule never could.
Despite these internal debates, I hope that the insights and tools I’ve provided over the years have been valuable to you.
The knowledge was solid—I spent a fortune learning it and then years teaching it.
My journey was just on a different path at that moment, one focused more on dissemination than direct practice.
I am stepping back into the clinic with a renewed sense of purpose, ready to apply all that I’ve taught so passionately.
And I hope that as I share this new phase with you, it will enrich our journey together, blending practice with teaching in a way that feels whole.
Here’s to growing, learning, and practicing—side by side, once again.
