27: Getting to the Root, Living a Good Life & Essential Oils with Monique Wheeler

Join me with Licensed Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist, Monique Wheeler in our conversations around finding the root causes of dis-ease through human complexity, using muscle testing, intuition, and essential oils to treat the body, trauma and traditional Chinese Medicine. She shares about chronic Lyme disease and the tenacity it takes to do her own work, getting rid of emotional gunk and living a good life.

Monique’s practice is Meridian 87: Chicago Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Inc., located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. In June of 2018 she celebrated her 10 year practice anniversary!

Monique loves being an acupuncturist and working with patients to achieve their health goals - whatever they are. She trained at the Chicago campus of the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, receiving a Master's Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2008.

Since graduating Monique has studied women's health and fertility, orthopedic acupuncture, and using essential oils with acupuncture treatment. She has a passion for working with patients who struggle with respiratory issues, chronic diseases, fertility and women's health, as well as pain and orthopedic conditions. She doesn't limit her practice to these issues, though, and is always learning more with and through her patients. Monique loves her job and finds the human body, and condition, fascinating.
