PNI meets the Arts is about my senior project as well as my graduate studies and personal interests. My BS is Alternative Medicine with an emphasis of PNI and a minor in Art.
I used to be an art major and decided that although I love art and every minute of it, there were some facts stopping me from making a career out of it. First, all I can do with a master's is teach. Second, I am not famous and do not have my art work and name out there so doing it as a career will be even harder. Third, why pay money for something that just requires practice?
So, I resorted to my hobby and interest in the herbs and holistic healing. Looking into the subject and courses that could apply, it required a lot of medical knowledge and biology. I did not mind biology, I actually like it. However, seeing things and wanting to understand things from not a Western Medical view, it made things difficult. I tried it anyways and decided that I would have to learn on my own in that field.
Then, during one of my health practice courses, I became acquainted with PNI. From there, I started to think more and more about all the possibilities and then started researching my new made up major.
That is when I found it existed and chose to pursue graduate studies in Expressive Art Therapies to become a registered therapist.
