My journey to Japanese Acupuncture

So the search is on for therapists in the Byron, Lismore, Ballina area who are willing to assist me on my healing journey...so far I've been through two other acupuncturists one that I had needle shock from...which was a very unexpected path on my healing journey through my current partner I was lead to Lismore.
Where I Paul Hoogendyk from the Mauri Natural Therapy clinic and it was the very first time that I'd experienced Japanese Acupuncture, being used to UTS and what happens there where I'm working with 4th year students it's very different to be in a private clinic...Paul is both friendly and welcoming and gently re assuring which was good for me seeing as I was in fair degree of pain.

I had no idea how it differed from what I was used to at UTS and it took a little bit getting used to...I got out of pain from the first session which was impressive and at times I'd forgotten what it's like to be out of pain and I'd forgotten just how much that has shaped my life over the last 11years.

What I didn't know is the current injury that I have is a muscle tear which was very comforting for me to hear and once I know what it is I can work with it so far it's a slow process of treatments as often as possible and heat packs twice a day which I've noticed have been making a significant difference. I am well aware that it's a process and I've been keeping up my basic Yoga practice and that's included Yoga in the shower when I'm doing my Netti pot which I'm committed to starting my day with.

Breathing my way through the next part of this journey.
