- How did you get started doing this type of work?
On September 11th, 2001, the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon took our loved ones before their time, rocked our souls and left our emotions raw. It was during that time that I went to Chinatown to visit a Chinese Master of Acupuncture that a friend had recommended. I had a frozen shoulder andit was very painful. My doctor had me on a variety of anti-inflammatory drugs and excruciating physical therapies. Nothing was working but I was determined to avoid surgery. My friend Donna suggested that I give alternative medicine a try. I have to be honest with you; the thought of having a complete stranger sticking needles in my body made me queasy. Gently and with great skill the Master strategically placed the needles into my skin. It felt strange, like a pinch, but it was not as painful as I anticipated. I could feel a wave of energy moving around the needles and all over my body, inside and out. Suddenly, the Master broke the silence: ÃÂYou have a gift.ÃÂ I held my breath, hoping he would say more. What was he talking about? After a few moments had passed, he added this: ÃÂDo not waste it.ÃÂ That said, he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. Stunned by his words, I lay there, reflecting on my life, and on what in the world my ÃÂgiftÃÂ could be. I have since realized that my work is a culmination of all my experiences and that I am doing my life's work, my passion, every day with EcoChi.
