Well, what I do is a myriad of things. I like to put under the title of vibrational medicine. All of that comes together in the tools of acupuncture, Chinese herbology, Chinese herbs, essential oils, stone medicine, as well as Reiki and some craniosacral therapy, and also some spirit work as well. We're going to formulate a plan of action that gets you to your goal. After that, we're going to walk back and we're going to give you some needle love. Usually with the first needle, people start relaxing. So I do acupuncture a bit differently than most people because I have other gifts that I bring to the table. My unwritten slogan is that you walk in a patient, but you walk out a friend. What's always inspired me, which has been my mother, she was the first healer that I ever knew, and she was the example of service to the community that I saw. My job is to serve community and serve humanity and continue this work that my mother began. It's not just me touching them, it's everyone that's touched me that's touched them. So that's how I got into tattooing. Tell me how it feels. How's what feel? Putting the needles in? What do you mean? She goes, no, how does it feel to be the highlight of everyone's week? What makes me feel the best is when they come to me and, and they say, you know, I never would have been able to make it this far, I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you. It's very sacred for me. That's what I would tell anyone starting their business, or the younger me, is never again will you ever doubt your ability to do what you love and support yourself by doing that. If you can think it, If I can do it, you can do it. Do not ever doubt your ability. Do not ever doubt your greatness. Do not ever pause for one minute and doubt what you are able to accomplish. Valvo has been the sole thing that's kept my business from going under. I truly feel like my doors would have closed long ago had it not been for specifically my mastermind group. The women within that group I can trust with absolutely everything I am. And there's not many things I can say that about.
