What's your business, and who are your customers?

Tell us about yourself
I am a Doctor of Chinese Medicine. I have traveled the world treating patients on world-class cruise ships since 2016. I am also the education director at Acupuncturist Without Borders.
Using the art of holistic Medicine and the body's innate ability as my tool, I gently guide, nudge, and aid one's body and mind to find its own balance. From there, the intelligence of the body knows what to do next. This is what the healing process has taught me. I see myself as the tuning fork for my clients.
My journey towards self-healing and wholeness began. My curiosity about life led me to TCM College in Ft Lauderdale, FL, where I earned a Masters of Science in TCM. I obtained my BA in Television-based media from Salford University in Manchester, UK. As a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, my work includes collaborating with people to resolve a wide range of health challenges, including fibroids, emotional stress, adrenal fatigue, diabetes, thyroid imbalance, and fertility. My focus is to deepen my understanding of how I relate to myself with others, and the world. My exploration as an entrepreneur, community builder, traveler, and lifelong student has helped me cultivate my skills as a practitioner.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Traveling the world on world-class cruise ships offering holistic therapies for cruisers. Building my business and serving an elite class of individuals.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The expense that comes with Marketing and how to scale.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
If you are an acupuncturist and just starting out work on ships. You will have a full schedule, treat hundreds of people, and learn how to run a business.
