In 1997 Sang suffered a serious foot injury which caused several months of chronic pain. She tried many alternative medicine modalities without success. Having a phobia of needles, acupuncture was her last choice. She decided to put aside her fears and see an acupuncturist. After only a few sessions the pain was gone.

Due to her personal experience Sang realizes that people’s phobia of needles is real and powerful. Many people are possessed by this fear to the extent that they won’t try acupuncture. Sang is sympathetic to this difficulty because she wrangled it for herself – and is confident that you can overcome it too.

Impressed with the benefits and philosophy of the medicine Sang continued acupuncture treatment to maintain her overall health. Eventually she realized she wanted to help others with the medicine that has served her so well.
