The guest of this show
As an acupuncturist, author, and speaker it is my greatest privilege to help parents whose children suffer from chronic illness. Teaching them how to use the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine to help their children heal safely and naturally means that many kids can go on to have a normal happy childhood. Ultimately, that’s what it’s all about and it's what inspired me to write my book Heal Your Child from the Inside Out: The 5-Element Way to Nurturing Healthy, Happy Kids.
