My Story
Overdoing it: At age 21 I had so much nerve damage that I couldn't feel my own hands. Sports were my whole life, running, swimming, martial arts, then competitive gymnastics in college- which finally took my body to failure. My doctor told me I may never be able to use my hands the same way but my kung fu instruction told me to go to a local chi gong teacher. After learning some basic motions from chi gong (a form of restorative health exercise from Chinese medicine) I regained motion and feeling in my hands. With continued practice, chi gong helped me stay on my gymnastics team long enough to close the season and improved my hand sensitivity and overall health over months.
I decided that I wanted to help other athletes recover from pain and illness with chi gong so I became a certified tai chi instructor and certified personal trainer, (tai chi is a form of chi gong) working with people who wanted to prevent and heal injuries and simultaneously improve performance. I continued to hone my skills by becoming a licensed acupuncturist with specialized training from Chinese sports and combat medicine that addresses many issues including sprains, and joint/tendon/ligament repair.
