Mind-Body therapy honours each person as a whole and considers the interconnections of emotions, thoughts, body, spirit and life experiences in the personalized approach to care.
What is mind-body therapy used for?
Our Mind-Body Therapy service merges Western understandings of anatomy and neurophysiology with Eastern philosophy and energetic practices. One-to-one sessions help to compassionately address and support the physical, emotional and neuropsychological states that are affecting one’s life through blending tailored embodiment, mindfulness and somatic tracking practices, with neurobiology, and trauma-theory education.
