About Matthew:
Upon arriving at the Ohio State University in 2006, I felt completely lost amongst the thousands of potential paths open to me. Through a whirlwind of self-exploration, music, spiritual investigation and other meaningful encounters, I knew that I had found my purpose as a healer. I resonated strongly with Chinese medicine’s big picture: the mind, body, and spirit as one whole; using logic, creativity, observation, intuition, and heart to bring balance. I want to live in a world where Eastern and Western medicine have put their guards down and become good friends, with the shared goal of benefitting humanity. Eastern medicine excels at promoting wellness and balance, while Western medicine is unrivaled in disaster management; with their forces combined we could have our cake and eat it too. Outside of acupuncture, I regularly practice a Chinese martial art called Baguazhang, which is the foundation of my internal cultivation. I nourish myself with good food, company, and art forms of many kinds. I have a great passion for music, the greatest healer of all. Nature has always been a source of comfort to me, when I feel like something’s missing I can usually take a step out into nature and feel at home again.
