The most important relationship I seek to nurture in the treatment room is the one a patient has with their own body. We live in a culture that teaches us to override pain, defer to outside authority, and push through discomfort. Patients often arrive hoping I can “fix” them, but the truth is, we can’t do the work for them. We can offer guidance, insight and support, but healing requires their full participation.

Bonnie Koenig has been an acupuncturist in Washington State since 1999. After moving into a new office with a chiropractor, she realized they had far more choices in marketing tools than acupuncturists. Bonnie set out to remedy that, offering cards and artwork to acupuncturists which either make people laugh or display the needles in all their beauty in hopes of lessening the fear of needles.
