Show Notes | Our Journey (Part 2)
Episode Summary:
In this episode, we open up about the deeper story behind our mission—how personal experiences with family, early clinical training, and a desire to serve shaped everything we do today.
We share how witnessing the power of acupuncture firsthand—through Dr. James’s father and Dr. Devynne’s grandfather, a 100% disabled veteran—planted the seeds for our free monthly veterans’ clinics, which have been ongoing since 2014. These clinics have grown into more than just spaces for physical relief; they’ve become havens for emotional healing, reconnection, and hope.
You’ll hear how these experiences encouraged us to lean into the “what if” moments that ultimately defined our approach to practice: meeting people where they are, never forcing healing, and believing that feeling better—body, mind, and spirit—is always possible.
