Sophia Ramsijewan, acupuncture physician
Sophia Ramsijewan is an Acupuncture physician who has been practicing for the past 6 years. Her experiences with tenured Acupuncture practitioners set the foundation for her to form her own private practice, which she has been operating for over a year. Sophia is passionate about educating and raising awareness about the many benefits which Acupuncture provides. With her passion and drive, Sophia has helped many patients on their journey to achieve overall health, wellness, and peace of mind.
Growing up in South Africa, Sophia Ramsijewan always knew she had an interest in alternative medicine forms, after her brother saw tremendous health and physical improvements following reflexology.
Today, she practices the ancient form of Chinese medicine known as acupuncture, which involves the use of hair-fine needles inserted at strategic points of a patient’s body - determined by her analysis of their tongue and pulse. But getting started was a lesson in growth and perseverance. As Sophia explains, when she graduated from acupuncture school, it felt like there was so much she didn’t know - and sometimes that insecurity would show up in front of her patients, which made her feel unsuccessful.
Making it a priority to focus on personal and professional development, in an effort to combat her anxiety and fear, today Sophia tells us that her biggest win is “to be able to walk into a [treatment] room and it feels like second nature. I can’t imagine doing anything else!”
Joining us to share her story, Sophia opens up about building a business as a young entrepreneur; the role her family plays in her success; and why acupuncture isn’t as scary as it sounds.
