About Us – Rick Aguirre

he/him/his

I have always had a genuine desire to be in a field in which I am able to be of service to people. When I first began attending college my major was Psychology. The mind and it’s infinite complexity is still a source of fascination for me to this day. It was while attending school with the intent of becoming a psychologist (and working an eclectic array of jobs) that I injured my knee. My dear friend had just returned from California having had completed his acupuncture schooling and convinced me to come in and receive a treatment. I did so and was amazed by the almost instant relief I got from my pain. I found this intriguing however was not totally convinced of the efficacy of this method until I seriously injured my rotator cuff. It took a series of several treatments this time but the results were the same and it then that I knew that acupuncture was not only legitimate but a field which I was even more captivated by than I was by psychology.

After discussing it with my friend and looking into the program I enrolled at the American Institute of Alternative Medicine, graduated and am now a Licensed Acupuncturist by the Ohio Medical board and a Nationally Certified Acupuncturist through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine(NCCAOM).

When I’m not at one of the clinics doing what I love, you may find me playing tennis, at the driving range or the batting cage. I love my morning meditation and tai chi routine and enjoy working out with a buddy whether its running, lifting or doing 12 ounce curls and watching some Buckeye football.

A host of enlightening life experiences, an intuitive nature and an unconditional positive regard for people have been crucial in my development in a form of medicine where energetics play as much of a role as technical skill. I consider myself truly blessed to have found a career in which I can have such a profoundly positive impact on people’s lives on a daily basis.
