A long overdue update from New Orleans!

Hello Friends.

Clearly, I have been on a bit of a hiatus from the e-world! Feeling fresh in this beautiful new year,
I Wanted to check back in for a quick update.

Though a proud NYC resident for the past five years, my heart has always been back in my
home state of Louisiana. I grew up in the state capital, Baton Rouge….. right on the banks of
the Mississippi, whose old state capital is known best by Mark Twain’s proclamation of it being
“the ugliest thing on the Mississippi.”

Now I find myself just 70 miles down that river, in a city that has a soul like no other place.
New Orleans is perfumed with sweet olive when you walk down her streets,
and even now, in the winter, the angel trumpets, overgrown hibiscus plants, and elephant trees
are in full bloom… and they greet you at just about every turn.

My first night in the big easy my friend Justin brought me to meeting for a great organization of healers, called
CRREW (Community Relief and Rebuilding Through Education and Wellness). In response to Katrina, they have
set up practice in New Orleans to serve those in need the New Orleans area. They offer a myriad of wellness & holistic
services for those in need in . You can learn more about them online at www.crrew.org.

The group here in New Orleans is spearheaded by acupuncturist, Dr. Kuang, who has a passion for healing (and spreading
the gospel of acupuncture) that is contagious. Dr. Kuang’s practice is Kim Acupuncture Clinic in Uptown New Orleans: (504) 861-0629‎.

It’s good to see such progress going on here. This city and it’s residents are so special…..it’s inspiring to
see how community can really make an impact.

I’m still getting settled in, but will be taking appointments for Thai-Yoga (with advance scheduling) while
I’m in New Orleans. Rates are all available on the website, but I am also offering a sliding rate scale for
musicians/artists/healers/those in need, in addition to trades of services/goods (bodywork, art, lessons, etc).
Just drop me a line if interested.

Much Love,
kd
