Philosophy of Care
I was an ABD (all but dissertation) in Asian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. I realized that I did not want to pursue an academic track, but rather wanted to be of direct service to people. I thought about nursing since I had been interested in holistic health and women's health, but my husband encouraged me to go to medical school. I changed course, completed my premed requirements, and went to Catholic University of Puerto Rico, which had a newly accredited medical school to train family practitioners. I transferred to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) in 1980 to complete my training. I joined the UCSF primary care residency medicine program because of its emphasis on integrating intensive training in both outpatient and hospital medicine with behavioral medicine training, which focused on counseling patients in health education, emotional issues relating to aging, interpersonal conflict, marital issues, sexuality and coping with chronic illness.
When I started aikido, I became interested in mind-body and complementary medicine. I completed a three-year somatic education training that focused on awareness through movement and Feldenkrais work. I also completed a training program in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. I am interested in cognitive science and neurobiology, in particular, current research in the neurobiology of pain, neuroplasticity and multidisciplinary treatment of chronic pain.
