The body, mind, and emotions are not separate.
Body and History
Often, symptoms reflect experiences, emotions, and patterns that the nervous system has recorded throughout life.
Nervous System
When the nervous system is in a constant state of alert, the body can lose balance, energy, the ability to rest, and self-regulation.
The body and mind do not work separately.
What sets us apart is the way we look at health.
We are healthcare professionals who delve into the relationship between the body and human experience, and who view health in a broader, more structured, and holistic way. This integrated vision allows for more effective, lasting, and respectful interventions that consider each individual's history.
