New Quantum Lifestyles
Posted on August 23, 2008 - Filed Under General |
The Acupuncture Marketing Blog has always been attached to a main site, Quantum Lifestyles. I’ve just recently updated it to create a new look and feel. Additionally I am adding a blog specific to that site (it is set up all in Wordpress and I am working on a slightly more colorful design) that can address questions potential patients may have about acupuncture
These questions won’t be questions that most acupuncturists have about acupuncture–these are the crazy questions that tend to make us laugh. However, I’ve come to see in these questions the great need that we have as practitioners to really let the world know what it is we do–in language our own communities can understand.
There is a lot of misunderstanding about acupuncture in the World. Even in an area that has three major acupuncture colleges, I get really odd questions. I am sure many other people do as well. I know that acupuncture can help more people than it does. Many potential patients are put off by the pagodas and Kuan Yin and Buddha statues that decorate offices. They are worried about the new age music. Some venture in, hoping to be welcomed. Some find the right practitioner and are welcomed. Others leave thinking that they can’t accept the strangeness of why the practitioner works.
I want to make those people who are uncomfortable with other cultures comfortable with acupuncture. One way to do that is to make it more accessible to everyone. I want to address those really odd questions with compassion and understanding.
I believe behind those really off the wall questions, the real question being asked is
Are you enough like me to be able to help me?
I want to work to find a way for more acupuncturists to be able to answer that question a resounding YES
