I expected that acupuncture would be an easier practice to involve myself in because I knew of local practitioners in Auburn and Columbus (the two cities where I spend the most time). After researching and calling around, I finally decided I would start with PaulaLord, L. Ac. (www.acupunctureforsouthernliving.com) who was licensed and had an office in Auburn.
We have only spoken over the phone, but I explained to Paula that the acupuncture was for a class and the treatments would help me explore the mind/body aspects of the practice. She's eager to help me, letting me know that she had extensive training and education and would have no issues explaining how and why acupuncture worked (details that she was excited to share since most clients are not interested). I'll meet her to discuss more in person later.
I also made the promise to myself that I would take a holistic approach to the experience, as most practitioners I spoke with or researched suggested that the acupuncture itself was only part of the experience and was commonly combined with elements of meditation, herbal medicine, and other practices. I also thought that combining elements of other practices into the experience may enhance the overall effect.
