In this episode, I welcome Allison Jacob of Earth Sea Acupuncture in Waterbury, Vermont (which I erroneously called Virginia at first – forgive me!). Like me, she practices in a relatively more rural area, and a lot of what we discuss revolves around that topic. How do you find patients in a rural area? How [...]

It’s another re-release of an old Deepest Health podcast episode. I even kept the original intro/outro music intact for that extra ring of authenticity (and less work for me!) This one has some pretty major audio quality challenges, but the content is strong. Here, Z’ev and I talk more about the profession at large, rather [...]

In this episode of the podcast, I was fortunate to talk with Z’ev Rosenberg, author, teacher and very busy Chinese medicine practitioner. Z’ev practices out of his home in San Diego, and because many students ask me about home-based practice, we focused quite a bit on how that works for him. However, we also [...]

This is a special, significantly longer, episode of the WLP podcast. As I’m interviewing practitioners about their business and professional lives, I’ll be re-releasing any interviews I’ve done with them in the past as well. Since many of these interviews do touch on the business side of acupuncture practice, it seemed a shame to let [...]

In this episode of the Whole Life Practitioner podcast, I am excited to introduce Dr. Neal Sivula, DVM, PhD, a holistic veterinarian practicing in Richfield, OH. Neal was kind to chat with me about the setup of his practice, including his decision not to have real-time reception, and how he has pivoted towards an entirely [...]

In this episode of the Whole Life Practitioner podcast, I have Rowan Everard, MS, LAc on the line! I ask him what I will be asking every practitioner guest on the show moving forward to get us started: What does Whole Life Practitioner mean to you, and do you resonate with the concept? What’s something [...]

In this episode of the podcast, I bring Amanda Barp, LMT, RYT and co-owner of Watershed Wellness to discuss what it’s like to be married and business partners! Whether you’re legally married or in some other type of life partnership, having yet another domain full of logistics and potential conflict can seem like a… poor [...]

This episode of the podcast was inspired by a couple of conversations I’ve had recently with colleagues and students who are, in various ways, struggling to find how to bring parts of themselves into resonance with their professional lives. Whether because of some aspect of their personalities, or because of a political cause they support, [...]

In this first episode of the new podcast, I explore what I mean by “Whole Life Practitioner” and how that informs both my personal practice of acupuncture and my teaching online and off. I earnestly try to articulate how WLP helps us root our practices as acupuncturists in the holism we’re supposed to operate with [...]
