Ellen Goldsmith, Licensed Acupuncturist is the co-founder of Pearl Natural Health, a naturopathic, acupuncture and Chinese medicine clinic in Portland, Oregon. After being a lousy vegetarian and suffering from low energy for years she sought help from a brilliant barefoot Shiatsu therapist who taught her macrobiotics. After receiving a treatment from her, she felt as if body “woke up.” She now teaches Chinese Dietetics and its application in practice at the National University of Natural Medicine’s College of Classical Chinese medicine as well as in the Masters of Science of Nutrition program. Her international teaching has trained hundreds of health practitioners in the field of Asian bodywork, self-transformation, and End of Life Care.

On the show Ellen shares the energetic force behind the nutritional healing, how following Chinese medicine philosophies became her guiding health light, and the science behind why receiving acupuncture can lead to a person’s ‘awakening.’
