You are your business’ biggest resource. Learning self-care with Amy Kuretsky

Amy Kuretsky is an acupuncturist and health coach based in Minneapolis Minnesota. She works with clients all over the world to collaborate with them to find their health routines and to find their ultimate version of self-care. Amy believes that you are your business’ ultimate resource, and practicing and devoting yourself to a health and self-care routine is the most effective way to run a better business. Without your health, you have nothing! Today, Amy shares a little about her journey — from battling Chron’s Disease, to starting her acupuncture and health coaching business.
