As a child, I lived in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Egypt, and Canada. I took for granted that knowledge and wisdom are found everywhere, in all shapes and forms. My mom, Carolyn, is an RN, and there were always medical books around the house. I was fascinated by the pictures and absorbed everything I could while I was learning to read. I earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Oklahoma State University and I am member of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology.
While in college, I worked as a CNA in a nursing home for the eldery, as well as providing home health care for the disabled. After graduation, I served in the Peace Corps in Nepal, teaching science in middle school and training Nepali educators how to teach science. After that, I taught English in South Korea. I moved to Burma and was ordained as a Buddhist monk.
I studied Pali (the classical language of Theravada Buddhism, similar to Sanskrit) as well as the theory and practice of serenity and insight meditation.

Dry needling, also known as myofascial trigger point dry needling, is a rudimentary form of acupuncture therapy for limited range of motion, muscle pain, including pain related to myofascial pain syndrome.
Dry needling is sometimes also known as Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), or Tendinomuscular Acupuncture.
Although dry needling originally utilized only hypodermic needles due to the concern that solid needles had neither the strength or tactile feedback that hypodermic needles provided and that the needle could be deflected by "dense contraction knots", those concerns have proven unfounded and many healthcare practitioners who perform dry needling have found that the acupuncture needles not only provides better tactile feedback but also penetrate the "dense muscle knots" better and are easier to manage and caused less discomfort to patients.
