Matthew will be joining UAC on Saturday afternoons in Clintonville from 1-5 pm. His first day with us is Valentine’s Day, February 14th
About Matthew:
Upon arriving at the Ohio State University in 2006, I felt completely lost amongst the thousands of potential paths open to me. Through a whirlwind of self-exploration, music, spiritual investigation and other meaningful encounters, I knew that I had found my purpose as a healer. I resonated strongly with Chinese medicine’s big picture: the mind, body, and spirit as one whole; using logic, creativity, observation, intuition, and heart to bring balance. I want to live in a world where Eastern and Western medicine have put their guards down and become good friends, with the shared goal of benefitting humanity. Eastern medicine excels at promoting wellness and balance, while Western medicine is unrivaled in disaster management; with their forces combined we could have our cake and eat it too. Outside of acupuncture, I regularly practice a Chinese martial art called Baguazhang, which is the foundation of my internal cultivation. I nourish myself with good food, company, and art forms of many kinds. I have a great passion for music, the greatest healer of all. Nature has always been a source of comfort to me, when I feel like something’s missing I can usually take a step out into nature and feel at home again.

We need help with the following: work at the front desk, greeting patients coming in, answering the phone, pulling files, helping patients with scheduling appointments, and occasional other odd jobs (emergency coffee runs). Our shifts generally run for 4 hours, so we need help in the middle of it for about 2 hours when we are the busiest. We are open 7 days a week, with 13 shifts, so there are still several days/hours to choose from. In return, we will give a treatment for each shift you work. Other perks are discounted classes, and hanging out with us! We’ll be happy help you understand Chinese Medicine a little bit better while your here.
Contact us at (614) 725-2488 or info@urbanacupuncturecenter.org for more information.
