Liberated Genius Conversations: 3 Questions with Dr. Afua Bromley

For our third interview, called, Liberated Genius Conversations, we talked with Dr. Afua Bromley about acupuncture and how a well balanced body can unlock our full potential.

About Dr. Afua Bromley:

My journey to becoming an acupuncturist was marked by a single turning point – a friend harassing me to try acupuncture for a stubborn upper respiratory infection that left me without hearing in my left ear for a month. Though I did not expect the treatment to help at all, within 5 minutes my hearing returned and the rest of the symptoms of my upper respiratory infection were gone within 24 hours. Curious, I did some additional reading on acupuncture, then decided to enroll in acupuncture school instead of a pre-medical post-baccalaureate school while I waited a year to begin (allopathic) medical school. Two months into my first year at the National Institute of Oriental Medicine (now the Florida College of Integrative Medicine) and I was hooked! The cases I saw during my observational clinic hours along with my classes opened a more holistic and (I felt) comprehensive approach to treating the root of health issues and actually resolving them in many cases. For me, the opportunity to actually offer a variety of solutions for patients made all the difference. I gave up my spot in medical school and completed my master’s degree in Oriental Medicine in 1998.
