Help Tatum Start Her Acupuncture Practice

After an unexpected change in my employment at the end of August, I have decided to start my own acupuncture practice. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the capital necessary to do so, and am not in a position where I can take out a business loan.

I'm not going to trot out the difficulties I've navigated in the last couple years to prove to you that I'm worthy of support (trust me, it's been a lot), because this isn't about me. This is about my current patients who have been waiting for over a month for care and the ones who are on my wait list, seeking care for the first time. This is about creating a welcoming, accessible, inclusive practice for folks to receive gentle, collaborative, trauma-informed care via Traditional Chinese Medicine and Craniosacral Therapy.

By supporting this fund, you're helping me avoid more debt and gather the items I need to start my practice + my first month's worth of expenses. My goal was to raise $3,000 with a stretch goal of $5,000, which would add extra padding/safety as I take on this new, exciting challenge. I raised the first 3k in 24 hours and am in awe of the support from everyone so far. Thank you.
