This week I celebrated one year as a community acupuncturist (though I had been practicing acupuncture for several years before that). I marked the occasion with a successful 2 for Tuesday– I treated 20 patients in 3.5 hours, including 16 new patients. It was exciting for me to introduce so many new people to acupuncture. I am very grateful to my returning patients who brought friends and family with them.

I hope to continue growing and bringing acupuncture to many more people in 2010. And I wish you all a very happy, healthy, and prosperous year!
