Aging With Power
Here’s a little bit about my journey that got me here!
It all started in 2002 when I was in a gap year living in Spain for a year . I was sitting on a bridge - preparing to go to MBA school the following year - I got an epiphany number 1 - from nowhere that my life purpose was to help people walk - rehabilitation of some kind? I knew in the deepest truth this was true and I had studied nothing but Business and Spanish up to that point. I called my parents and said I am changing courses and I am going to medical school. They were not happy! I entered into a post-baccalaureate program at University of Maryland and loved it. I was applying to take the entrance exam for medical school when my older sister who is a pediatrician sat me down and said you should look into the healing arts like acupuncture and chiropractic. I had never heard of these. Literally very soon after that talk, my mother hurt her back raking leaves and she could not walk. We took her to a chiropractor and I saw first hand - she could not walk then; she could walk right after that adjustment. I said to myself / this is it! So I went to chiropractic school and met a wonderful group of friends where we also learned applied kinesiology and chinese medicine while in school.
Fast forward - 10 years I am in practice / loving my life and loving being single at 39! Then epiphany number 2 - I really wanted to get married and have children. I soon met my future husband / married at 40 years old and with the aid of Western medicine IVF and Eastern medicine, I was able to carry healthy pregnancies at age 45 and age 50.
I am now 55 and can say I have navigated through my second year in menopause with bumps but overall with power - naturally. This all led me to be the biggest stand for women that having individualized healthcare matters and that is what my life purpose is all about. Although my background is being a chiropractor, in this next chapter of my practice, I am leaning more into the functional medicine aspect of my work.
So grateful to be on this journey with you!
