I settled in the north county years ago. Back in 1991, while living in Agoura, CA I was a film editor in Hollywood and I used to paraglide quite a bit. Then one day I had a 40 foot fall to the ground at Palos Verdes. While flying high above the cliff's edge I was blown back away from the cliff's edge which has the perfect upward draft that is consistent along the pacific coast. This was due to pilot error (my bad) and at about 80 feet above the top of the cliff my chute began to collapse from the ensuing wind rotor (the wind was pushing down on top of my wing). At 40 feet above the ground I was in full free fall.
Only a 15 foot sage brush saved me from serious injury when I came to earth. That is like jumping from the top of a telephone pole to the ground below.
I broke my left ankle and had a cast put on the same day. When the cast came off I had great trouble with re-injuring it over and over again. I was urged to go and see an acupuncturist. I went in shaking and sweating profusely as I hate needles. However they were and are nothing like the needles I was used to from the western doctor. After the first few treatments the pain was gone and a few more treatments My left ankle was and is more stable than the right.
On one acupuncture visit my 5th generation Korean Acupuncture doctor, looked me in the eyes and said "One day you will be a great acupuncturist".
A light went on and angels sang and I knew it to be true. From that moment I changed my life, left a good Hollywood career and moved to the San Frisco area and started my new direction in life.
Years later and after Graduating with my Masters of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine I returned to Thousand Oaks area to have lunch with the 5th generation Korean Acupuncturist who had healed my left ankle years before. We had a nice lunch and I couldn't wait to ask him the million dollar question. I wanted to know what had inspired him to say that someday I would be a great acupuncturist. I asked him "do you remember saying that someday I would become a great acupuncturist"? He replied "yes". I said "well after all these years I have been wondering what prompted you to say that". Now I was expecting him to say that he saw my future and he could foresee that I would do this and that and change the world.
He calmly looked me in the eyes and said "because you speak-a-very good English".
And that is how I became an acupuncturist.
Needless to say I have fallen in love with the power and effectiveness of this science. I have treated hundreds of patients successfully in my 16 years of practice.
