Mind Body Therapy

Mind-body medicine focuses on the interactions among the brain, mind, body, and behavior, and the powerful ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors can directly affect health. It regards as fundamental an approach that respects and enhances each person's capacity for self-knowledge and self-care, and it emphasizes techniques that are grounded in this approach.

Mind/Body Therapy is proof that such time-honored phrases as “the power of positive thinking” and “mind over matter” are true. Both traditional and holistic medical experts realize the impact of stress, anxiety, and depression on the body can result in such problems as headaches, anxiety disorders, musculoskeletal problems, and a myriad of chronic pain issues. Hence, relaxation pathways enabling synergistic interplay between psychological and physical factors have evolved over the last century. Conversely, hypnotherapists know that the power of the mind, once it is released from various blocks, can help us heal ourselves and release our full potential.

As a result, integrative modalities—such as biofeedback, guided imagery, color therapy, meditation, Hypnotherapy, NLP, Feldenkreis, and the Alexander Technique—have become more widely practiced and accessible.

Since 1994 I have helped people heal their bodies, and align themselves on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels so they are in harmony with their higher purpose. I use a wide variety of techniques, but the unifying theme in all of my work is the conviction that the intelligence of nature always provides simple and natural ways to heal our bodies, minds, emotions, and spirits. I believe that the health of individuals, communities, and our planet can all be improved with common sense and respect for nature's simple and elegant wisdom.
