What is MBSR?

MBSR is a technique used to clear negative blocks in the body, whether they be negative emotions, limiting beliefs, ideas or relationships. Removing these blocks allows the body to come back to its proper balance and begin functioning optimally again, both mentally and physically. This work is often a component of physical healing in the body.

MBSR™ is great for those seeking to:

• Reduce the effects of stress and stressful triggers on the mind and body.

• Release limiting emotional baggage.

• Enhance spiritual growth.

• Create and foster healthier relationships.

• Develop healthier boundaries.

• Move beyond addictions.

• Become aware of and more in control of what behaviors are driving actions.

• Develop a deeper sense of love and self-forgiveness.

• Experience more physical and emotional balance.

• Enhance Cognitive Clarity and Speed.

Why I use MBSR: 

I entered complete physical healing when I incorporated MBSR to release the emotions I have kept stagnant in my body since I was a child. I grew up believing I needed to be stoic to caretake and calm those around me, and as a result, I became sick. Modern culture makes many people feel their emotions are a burden to others; this lie is detrimental to our well-being. My holistic healing began to stick once I processed the emotions I'd kept inside my body. I am confident that MBSR will be the final piece in your healing puzzle, as it was for me. Let me guide you into this next phase in healing the mind, body, and spirit. 

New studies show that trauma that alters the brain is not limited to extreme traumatic events like war/sexual assault/death. The brain can register trauma with hard break-ups, parents who worked a lot, living through a global pandemic, losing a job, etcetera. Memories that create physical reactions are brought forward by smells/words/sounds and can be both positive and negative experiences. 

According to neuroscientists 95% of the human brain functions in the subconscious (the place where our memories and trauma are also stored). When a negative memory is recalled a rush of hormones enters our body and can trigger feelings of overwhelm, panic, and anxiety.  Physically you might encounter sweating and heart palpitations. The increase in cortisol (the stress hormone) can wreak havoc on our nervous system.

MBSR can help us heal these negative memories and the damage they do to our bodies by bringing the subconscious to the conscious. When we become aware of our subconscious unhealthy reactions, we can logically begin to approach those problems. We are energetic beings and an unbalanced nervous system can cause negative energy to stay in our bodies and block us from healing. MBSR helps clear the energy that has been stagnant in our bodies and mind. 

When you have an MBSR session with me I use a technique called ideomotor testing which is essentially muscle testing. I use phrases that can trigger a memory or emotional response from your subconscious and muscle test to see what responses come up for you. We will work through limiting beliefs and whatever energetic and physical health blocks are revealed. As a licensed holistic health practitioner I will also identify supplements and nutritional deficiencies in your body and will suggest food and supplements that will help fortify your nervous system. This is truly a holistic approach to healing your brain, your energy, and the whole of your physical body. 

During in-person sessions, I can use cold-light therapy on acupressure points to speed up the healing process and calm your nervous system. It is important you drink a lot of water after each session, and be easy on yourself as you are processing a lot. I often get asked if this is a magical process that could be considered in conflict with religious beliefs (or lack of beliefs) and my answer is: no. It is a scientific method based on how the brain and nervous system heal and has been researched and practiced by many doctors and health practitioners. Holistic health is about addressing conflict in our minds, hearts, and bodies by looking at how they are interconnected. This can help with spiritual well-being in the context of your personal beliefs, but it is not a religious or magical method. 
As we release the trauma and blocks holding our bodies back from healing, we will begin to enter into a new phase of freedom in our life. My job is to facilitate this healing pathway for you as others have done for me. Each session begins with me identifying your intention or goal for healing. I can access your detrimental imprints (emotions, limiting beliefs, energetic blocks) by accessing your subconscious mind through Muscle Response and/or Ideomotor Response (pendulum) Testing.
