She also gained invaluable experience externing at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego. There she had the pleasure of helping patients manage chronic pain, post chemo nausea and much more. Brittany is extremely passionate about helping others feel their very best. She loves how acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is not a one size fits all medicine. Each patient is unique and it is so important to look at the whole patient, mind, body and spirit. Her own orthopedic ailments brought her to acupuncture. As a patient she learned the importance of meeting the patient where they are while balancing the right amount of "push" to achieve optimal healing. In her free time she loves to cook, spend time outdoors in nature, read, practice yoga and spend time with family and friends.
