My  Story 

Welcome to The Open Road Life! I’m Adrienne, the imagination, heart, soul & body behind this creation. Here’s a little bit about me:

I graduated from Scripps College in 2012 with a BA in Latin American Studies and then took off to South America with a one-way plane ticket for the next 9 months. I returned with a puppy I found on the Northern coast of Colombia and named her Wayu (she is the love of my life). Over the next couple of years I lived in Hawaii, Bolinas, Brooklyn, Boulder and finally came back to Los Angeles where I am from originally. I was on a meandering path full of adventure; letting go of finding an end point and enjoying The Open Road Life.

Yoga came into my life way back when I was twelve years old and began practicing Iyengar-style yoga with my dad. The practice stuck with me and is an integral part of maintaining stability throughout my life. I have completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training and 40 hour trauma-informed training.

I come from a family of foodies and chefs so it felt natural to expand my own culinary skills through holistic cooking school at The Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City. This was just another adventure on The Open Road Life.

As I dipped further into the world of full-body healing and health, the small voice in my head that had been telling me to become an acupuncturist since age 18 grew too loud to ignore. So here I am: working with and learning about traditional East Asian herbal medicine and acupuncture.

I am currently a student at Emperors College of Traditional East Asian Medicine and cannot wait to treat both humans and animals!  

I love what I do.
