"Awaken your healer within and let the power of your
deeper wisdom be revealed to you"

(Excerpt from her book Awaken Your Healer Within)

Mind/Body Research is changing the way we view the role of the mind in health and illness. But this is not new !!!!! Western medicine has used relaxation techniques, hypnosis and other mind/body techniques for decades and of course holistic/ alternative/traditional healers have used them for thousands of years!! What is different today is that the approach is gaining credibility through scientific studies from major medical institutions and the evidence is mounting that mind/body techniques can improve your quality of life as well as affect the course of disease.
