Communicating Through Ritual, Acupuncture, and Massage

Tonight we're going to talk to Elie Cole, owner of Nourishing Medicine and practitioner of ritual, acupuncture, and massage. We'll discuss how communication impacts each of these and how important it is for a practitioner to communicate to a patient. This will also be an opportunity for us to delve into non-verbal communication in a different way.

Elie began her studies in massage therapy in 1999 at the International Professional School of Bodywork in San Diego. She owned Heal Thyself Massage Therapy, a successful massage practice, while studying Chinese medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego before transferring to Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Elie earned a Masters of Science of Traditional Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in 2007 and is now the owner of Nourishing Medicine.
