Stamford Acupuncturist Enjoys Growing Acceptance Of
Practice
STAMFORD, Conn. -- For three
decades, Stamford's Eileen Karn has been one of the leading practitioners of
acupuncture in the state. Today, she and other acupuncturists will be
celebrating National Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day.
Acupuncture has become more accepted
as it has moved from something seen as foreign or to now being included in some
insurance plans.
“I think American people are more
educated about [acupuncture] then they ever have been, and that is wonderful,”
she said.
Originally from Minnesota, Karn
moved to New York City in 1976 to be an account executive in a financial public
relations firm. She arrived with a strong interest in yoga and soon sought out
a studio to continue practicing it. It was there that one of her friends
persuaded her to study Shiatsu, a form of Japanese bodywork that uses fingers,
hands and palms for massage.
