First no-guilt talk

I'll have the honor this weekend of addressing a small group as part of NH's Minority Womens Health Conference. Access to care is a large part of their agenda, along with promoting cultural competency in the greater regional health care community.

In preparing for the talk, it occurred to me this will be the first time I will have had the chance to answer questions about acupuncture, and talk about CAN and my clinic in a semi-formal setting. This also means I won't have to suffer along with the audience when the fateful 'how much does it cost?' questions gets asked. I had got used to sheepishly answering '$60/visit' as my previous role of BA staff acupuncturist directed me to do so. Instead of feeling as though a firecracker has been tossed toward me, I can now assuredly volley back 'as little as $15' without a blink.

What a relief.
