Cathryn Davidson became passionate about Chinese Medicine after getting acupuncture for a shoulder injury and experiencing dramatic pain relief. That propelled her into studying the Five Element style during her undergraduate degree, and completing her thesis on acupuncture, philosophy and ecopsychology. Cathryn graduated with a Masters in Acupuncture degree from Five Branches University. She started studying herbology in middle school and has continued to deepen and broaden her understanding of herbal medicine.
