Friday, October 17th, 2008

In the beginning of October, I was the instructor of the Introduction to Acupuncture, Acupressure and Chinese Medicine class which them morphed into the “Acupuncture Hands-On Experience” class a week later! The students who attended were amazing and quite interested in learning as much as they could! So, keep your eyes open for the Spring catalog in your mailbox for more opportunities to learn about these fascinating topics! You aren’t going to want to miss them!

WCRN Hank Stolz Experience was exactly that!

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

WOW! I was scheduled to be on the Hank Stolz show on WCRN 830 today at 2:50pm! Not knowing what to expect, I called early, waited on the line, and suddenly, Hank was talking to me! VERY COOL! To start, Hank was very professional and asked very complimentary questions about acupuncture and how I got into it. He even asked about the concept of “preventative” medicine and how our culture is accepting it slowly. We talked about the painless needles, the sterile needles, and when to contact an acupuncturist! Needless to say, the Hank Stolz Experience was exactly that…a fabulous experience on the radio! Thank you Hank and thank you WCRN!

The “Alternatively Speaking” series

Monday, October 1st, 2007

I created a speaking series to answer the call for more education in the community about alternative medicine and practices! So many people I have come in contact with would ask me “Is acupuncture good for this?” or “What is feng shui?” or “Have you ever heard of Reiki?”

So I formally introduce the “Alternatively Speaking” series!

PLACE: “60Nobscot” woodworking studio, 60 Nobscot, Sudbury, MA, 01776.

TIME: always from 7:00-8:30pm, unless otherwise posted.

DATE: usually every 2nd Tuesday of every month, barring any unforseen circumstance. I will always blog the details a few weeks in advance.

DETAILS: Food will always be provided and currently the classes are all FREE! So come and learn about topics you have always wanted more information on in a no-pressure, no-gimmick environment!
