I am so grateful for all of you who supported me through this life changing endeavor. Let’s just say this particular solo business ownership taught me that “I can make it on my own.” (And you can too.) It wasn’t easy, but it can be done. I wish you all great health, joy, and good fortune.

I am now in — swipe right. During the meantime I’ll be keeping up with my RTW blog and Road To Wellness The Podcast and care.

Relocating to SoCal means for opportunities to meet new people…I’m in the process of getting a partner in crime to woman the in NorCal as I venture off to Integrative Oncology at as their

Squeezing in International Women’s Day— Months away and RTW turns 7. I just moved into a new place that I couldn’t afford during Year 2 of RTW. Had a rough patch as I gained full ownership after buying out my investors. Well I guess you can say paying off all my capital debt. It’s been a trying process and I don’t like talking about $ because it’s a sore spot for me. Let’s say, that I’ve experienced what it is like to have nothing….and then wondering if it was ever enough?

The experience at a community health center taught me how much BIPOC female entrepreneurs struggle in getting funding, need but struggle to gain access to financial literacy and coaching…eventually it led to her anxiety, body tension, hypertension, insomnia, depression, and the whole gamut. I listened to every woman intently…and the one that breaks my 💔 is those who stay in a toxic relationship because she doesn’t have the financial means… or she has to take on “jobs” just to make it work… so I asked: “If you could do anything, what would you do?”
•
She answered “Start my own business..”
•
And after some thought and deliberation with my fellow business plan partners—we decided to pitch
…should our pitch go well—I will assure go live **fingers crossed**

SheFin, in short, is here to help BIPOC women entrepreneurs lead healthier lives through financial literacy, gain funding, and develop stronger social capital through channeled partnerships. You like? Feedback welcomed.

You know you’re in crisis mode when you do things you shouldn’t do—like cutting your bangs!!! It looks even yeah? 😞 I gave myself an acupuncture treatment right after, specifically using the ear points for and . of the is what I needed as I have been probably functioning on so much so, my is out of control.
•
Its been a little hectic so I decided to and go on a semi sabbatical—I had to say goodbye to where I humbly built the acupuncture program. I’m a little sad despite putting 10% of my RTW profits to charity, serving the underserved felt good to me. Good news is offer letters are on its way so hopefully our patients at the will soon have care again! This reminds me, if you’re on or medical you’re eligible to go into a FQHC to seek care, your county plan should be able to help. Feel free to reach out to me too and I can connect you. ( —I’m using my MPH noggin)

Never in a million years did I think this is where I am. But here I am, and all the opportunities that came with it. What hurts were the losses…but the gained were that much sweeter. Nearing year 6 of flying a solo practice (great associates along the way)…I’m just so grateful to all of the patients and supporters (YOU) who stick around even though you don’t really fully get it. What I love about you, is that YOU TRY.

I wish I can show you everything I see. The conversations I’ve had and the people I’ve met along the way. I wish I can share all that I know so you can be well and free.

PTSD, stress, trauma all have a direct impact in our health and wellbeing. Understand how your digestive health can be impacted due to your emotional imbalance and what you can do to help yourself through recovery.

How does my emotion and stress affect my digestive health? — Road To Wellness | Los Gatos Acupuncture

I’m not going to lie…owning an acupuncture practice is hard work! — but the GREAT advantage is being able to do your own treatment like microneedling and facial acupuncture…

Postpartum care is so important. After any major surgeries or trauma like childbirth—you can expect changes, and the healing process is crucial in preventing urination issues, back pain, pelvic and so much more
•

MOMS—you are so impressive. Vaginal births are brutal and unable to void (p*e) is a common problem. Catheters don’t always work—did you know acupuncture and moxa can help?!?!

[outdoors skin]If you smoother skin texture and been in the sun all the time...we’re in the same boat. Wanted to show you without any edits what it looks like 3 weeks post visit of micro needling. I’m recommending just once a month for three months with in between nanoneedling for some who has more acne or wrinkles. Rudie and I share similar experiences in that we are in the sun all the time so our skin tends to have sunspots and dryness...good quality serums and microneedling to improve the absorption is a better option for our skin condition
•
•
My last video of me performing microneedling on myself was a fail! I’ll show you in the next post but need to space it out since I don’t like posting a gazillion posts…anyway, will keep you on the journey with , “you do see better results after one week.” says Rudie
