Health Practitioner Year-end Gathering

​6 months ago, we landed in San Francisco knowing no one, while launching Puzzle Acupuncture Clinic (https://www.puzzlesf.com/). So we started Puzzle Exchange Podcast (/puzzlesf) to make friends. It's a space to listen to health practitioners share their stories, their challenges, and their insights. Today, we've built something we didn't expect: a diverse community of over 20 practitioners from different modalities, all willing to be vulnerable, curious, and generous with what they know.

​Through these conversations, we've learned something clear:

​Even when you dedicate your life to healing others, you need support too. Whether you're building your practice from scratch or you've been in this field for a decade, the work is isolating. The business is hard. The emotional weight is real. And the path forward isn't always obvious.

​This is why we're gathering.

​We want to bring together everyone we've learned from our podcast guests, and anyone else in the healing professions who resonate with simply being a human, sharing and learning. We want to create a space where practitioners support practitioners. Where you can share your struggles without judgment. Where you can learn from someone else's solutions. Where you can remember why you started this work in the first place.

​We've heard too many stories of people working in silos, burning out alone, when what they needed most was a room full of people who get it. Every practitioner we've met wants to share and learn. We want to keep that energy alive—and build it together.

​Thank you for everything you've shared with us. We hope to see you there.
