My name is Dia Pfleger. I am proud mom of five
wonderful children. After my son was diagnosis with severe autism,
I turned to alternative medicine and I fell in love with
acupuncture and Pediatric Tui Na. My son is one of the many
children who are developmentally delayed who have had great success
with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). His success was so
profound that I left a corporate human resource management position
to pursue my master's degree in acupuncture.
The AOM Program at National University is challenging but we
have outstanding instructors who truly care
and are passionate about their students and patient's well being,
which makes my experience here at NUHS incomparable to any other
university. I am very active in the community and volunteer for
American Cancer Society, Autism Society of Illinois, Epilepsy
Foundation, and American Heart Association. I have always believed
that one person can make a positive impact in another person's life
but we first must begin with our "self." I enjoy blogging. I feel
we all have a story to tell through our life experiences and we can
learn so much from others and our own experiences.
