Paige Bourassa is one of my personal secret weapons to staying healthy (and sane) in New York City. She's the kind of acupuncturist that will make you feel energized, relaxed, entertained, heard and healed – all at the same time. Having studied Traditional Oriental Medicine, Psychology, Ayurveda and Nutrition, she helps many busy urbanites reconnect with their internal balance (concealed under many layers of stress) through her practice, Shen Medicine. In this conversation, Paige busts some popular acupuncture myths and shares her approach to entrepreneurship.
