Answer
Michelle loves being an Acupuncturist
Being an acupuncturist, for me, is a dream come true. Every day I get to go into work and assist people in releasing pain, stress and anxiety from their bodies. It is hands on, and I never get bored. I also love owning my own business and being in charge of my future.

I previously worked in finance and was doing well, but I was getting really sick from the stress of my position. A friend recommended acupuncture and I went, not knowing what to expect. It was in the treatment room that I had the space to really relax and think about my life. I realized that that I had options, and I had the option of choosing a career that was in line with my passions. I decided to take a class at a local acupuncture college...the rest is history!
