No matter who you are, eventually you get sick or injured. It may be just a cold, or something much more virulent. You may cut a finger, or break a leg. No matter whether large or small, it's important to heal, completely and quickly.

In this episode, I talk about some things that can have an impact on your healing--either positive or negative. If you'd like to know more about these factors and what you can do to help yourself to heal, take a listen. And as always, please feel free to leave a comment.

Season 3, Episode 8. In this episode, I am privileged to interview Robin Hancock, a trained and certified Forest Bathing nature guide who lives in the mountains of NW Georgia, USA. If you have listened to my podcast before, you may have heard me talk about the benefits of Shinrin Yoku (the Japanense phrase for Forest Bathing). Robin is much more knowledgeable about this topic than I, and in fact has a business where she organizes and leads Forest Bathing experiences.

You can find her on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/renewalbynatureguides, or at her own web page http://www.renewal-by-nature.com/

I am sure you will find much of interest in both this podcast and on her website.

Today's episode is about acupuncture, and I have a great guest, Deanna Stennett, a Georgia-licensed and Nationally Certified Acupuncturist. Because of various delays since this was recorded, Deanna's Ellijay, GA, location has very recently changed. Her Ellijay location is now at the Natural Wellness Center on Kiker Street in Ellijay.

Her website URL is www.acupunctureinnorthgeorgia.com , but it may not yet have the correct Ellijay, GA address!

Also, please be aware that the interview portion of this episode was recorded using different equipment and in different surroundings than usual (after service in our Unitarian Universalist Church), so you will notice a difference in audio quality and background noise. I have tried my best to minimize this, but I ask your forgiveness and hope you will find the information in this episode interesting anyway!
