Jonathan Holasek, C.A., L.Ac.Acupuncturist, Microcurrent and Light Therapy ESATM Alumnus
"My patients think about me first when they are sick or in pain. They call me before they call anyone else. Acupuncture lets me use my heart to treat them. It was my fate to study acupuncture. I love the school so much that I wanted to stay in close contact, so I returned to teach. When you teach you learn more."
