Full Spectrum Healing takes into consideration how the energy you are made of flows through your: human energy field, chakras, body, emotions, thoughts, and intentions.  When that energy flow is blocked then disease, painful habits, stressful thoughts, intense emotional pain, hurtful relationships, and confounding situations appear.

Sponsored By: NEXT GENT

To clear a path of free flowing energy through you I expand into a deep level of conscious awareness, empty my mind of preconceived ideas, focus my attention, then use: hands on healing techniques, harmonic induction, internal vision, speaking, listening, deep compassion, acceptance, understanding, humor, physical movement, drawing, writing, and spacious silence.  Full Spectrum Healing gets you feeling connected to the infinite source of energy you are.  This enables you to think new thoughts, your body to heal faster, emotions to move through without you getting stuck in them, and life situations to change.   Together we create a practice you can do on your own that connects to your inner strength and keeps the healing happening long after our session.

During a massage I consider how your stress level, posture, injuries, movement habits, fitness, and overall health effects the way your muscles feel.  I apply pressure at a therapeutic level and use specific techniques that warm, relax, clean, and oxygenate the muscle, interrupt the pain spasm pain cycle in the nervous system, release feel good hormones, and create harmony throughout the body.  This results in you getting out of pain much more quickly and with a few changes you can keep the pain from coming back.  Then you can just get a massage to feel even better!

HOW TO VIDEO BELOW!
Mayan Abdominal Therapy is inspired by traditional Maya healing techniques as taught by Don Elijio Panti, the great Maya Shaman of Belize, Central America. These techniques were further developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo based on her apprenticeship with Don Elijio Panti and her research as a naprathic physician. The technique works for Men and Women to restore the body to its natural balance by correcting the position of organs that have shifted and to open the flow of blood, lymph, nerve & chi energy throughout the body.

Sponsored By: Omica and Zevia

Don Elijio believed that a woman’s center is her uterus. “If a woman’s uterus is out of balance, so is she,”. Midwives and healers of Central America agree that most female troubles are caused by the wandering womb. The work is best known for the correction of the prolapsed, fallen, or tilted uterus and for the prevention and treatment of benign prostate enlargement in men, and for relief of many common digestive disorders.

Benefits for Women

Uterine ligaments are made to stretch to accommodate a growing fetus inside and to move freely when the bladder or bowel is full. The ligaments and muscles can weaken and loosen, causing the uterus to fall downward, forward, backward or to either side. When this happens, women are generally told, “your uterus is tipped, but that is normal and don’t worry about it.” Yet women have a laundry list of physical and emotional symptoms that result from this condition. When reproductive organs shift, they can constrict normal flow of blood and lymph, and disrupt nerve connections. By shifting the uterus back into place, homeostasis, or the natural balance of the body, is restored in the pelvic area and the surrounding organs. Thus assisting in releasing toxins and contributing to more balanced hormones. This is essential for healthy pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

Other conditions that Mayan Abdominal Massage can help with are adhesions from invasive treatments to the pelvic and abdominal area, such as fibroid tumor and cesarean surgeries, as well as endometriosis and digestive issues. In addition, urinary and bladder problems can be greatly reduced.

Benefits for Men

By ensuring a full blood supply to the prostate, the abdominal massage helps to prevent swelling and inflammation. Men report that they can feel a distinct difference in blood flow after a treatment. Not only does the massage relieve prostate swelling, but it helps alleviate varicose veins, premature ejaculation, some impotency problem, as well as some digestive issues, and the need to urinate frequently.

For Men and Women

The Mayan Abdominal Massage technique can often relieve symptoms of such disorders as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Indigestion, Constipation, and heartburn. Overall, this massage work helps create a healthier body and in turn a sound mind.

The Hendrickson Method® of orthopedic massage and manual therapy is an advanced method of assessment, massage, mobilization and neuromuscular re-education techniques synthesized with Eastern energy practices. It is a system of functional rehabilitation that is extraordinarily effective in treating many types of orthopedic conditions, such as whiplash, rotator cuff injuries and low back pain, while remaining profoundly gentle for both client and therapist.

The uniqueness of the Hendrickson Method® is that it not only realigns soft tissue, and unwinds tight muscles, tendons and ligaments but it also mobilizes the joints, hydrates cartilage and stimulates the synthesis of new cells. At the heart of this method is a technique called – Wave Mobilization® a completely new massage stroke that mimics an ocean wave. It has healing affects that penetrate deep within the body and creates long term effects far beyond what is normally possible with massage.

Named for its founder, Dr. Tom Hendrickson, D.C., the Hendrickson Method was developed from over 30 years of research and clinical practice. Dr. Hendrickson, after studying with his mentor Lauren Berry, a legendary healer, physical therapist and mechanical engineer, found a way to combine the astounding clinical effectiveness of Berry’s method, with the flow, ease and healing depth of Eastern energy practices like Qigong and Tai Chi.

Reflexology helps to restore balance to the body and it’s many systems by applying direct finger pressure to specific points on the feet (and often the hands and ears).  As I press or “reflex” these different points,  a wave of energy/information travels through the body to the brain and, in-turn, the intelligence of your body sends the appropriate response for achieving balance and healing.

Reflexology is considered an ‘energetic’ therapy as it works primarily with the meridians of the body.  It also works very closely with the nervous system and the lymphatic system.  By keeping these channels of energy and information open and flowing, we allow our bodies the opportunity to restore and/or maintain balance.  It’s different than massage in that it works specifically with all of the internal organs and systems of the body, not just the superficial layers of the body.  Clients often report after a foot reflexology session that they feel as though they’ve received deep work over their entire body, and that the sensation feels more ‘profound’ than their experience of massage therapy alone.  I’ve been doing reflexology and different forms of massage for just over 15 years, and have witnessed the healing effects of both again and again.

The Beck Protocol is a three step process that kills germs and viruses in our bodies. It builds the immune system and can be highly effective in treating cancer, herpes, HIV, fibromyalgia, and other diseases that affect a lowered immune system.

In 1937 Nobel Prize winner Albert Szent-Gyorgyi said “What drives life is a little electric current, kept up by the sunshine.  All the complexities of intermediary metabolism are but the lacework around this basic fact.”  Dr. Bob Beck believed this to be true, researched through US patent history, and redesigned a device that helps to kill viruses, bacteria, parasites… basically any pathogen that lives in the blood, WITHOUT destroying healthy cells and tissue.  The Beck Protocol optimizes health on many levels, and has had profound impact on strengthening the bodies natural ability to heal.  For anyone interested in learning more from my perspective, or receiving 20% off of the device, feel free to email me at docnextdoor@yahoo.com.  Cheers!

Rev. Stuart Lovett

Healing Breath™ is a physician endorsed respiratory retraining system designed to help reduce stress and promote wellness. This simple yet powerful system assists in healing for those who suffer from a wide range of health conditions. These can include diseases and disorders such as cancer, diabetes, asthma and high blood pressure. Healing can occur with disorders related to the nervous system and/or stress. Such conditions include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, postpartum depression, post traumatic stress disorder, and many more.

Just as chiropractors note that we need healthy spines to be balanced, and doctors state that we need healthy bodies to function well, Healing Breath™ affirms that it is healthy breathing which is primary to our well being.  Our oxygen supply and how we use it is just as important as our food intake, although far less attention is usually given to breathing than to nutrition.  Lack of and poor use of oxygen in our bodies contribute to a multitude of diseases and disorders.

This system was developed by Stuart C. Lovett. Through his education and experience as an attunement practitioner and martial artist, and by learning about the breathing mechanics of newborn infants from the teachings of Uranda (pen name for Lloyd Arthur Meeker, founder of the Third Sacred School and of the energetic healing art of Attunement), Stuart recognized that, “We are born engaging in Healing Breath™ naturally but are later trained to shift into a pattern of breathing that reverses the natural sequence.”

The Healing Breath is sponsored by Zen Spin!

Healing Breath™ is designed to improve one’s overall respiratory foundation. It fully supports other health related disciplines such as Yoga, Pilates, Cardio Callanetics, the martial arts, and more. By applying the Healing Breath™ Respiratory Retraining System as part of your regular daily routine and well-being programs, you’ll quickly see how this more natural respiratory function enhances every area of your life and your very being.

Peter and Kirk in the process of healing Kirk's chronic back pain.

My friend Kirk Palayan went through a windshield of a car during an accident a couple of years ago. He has been in chronic pain ever since and the Western medical doctors had nothing to offer him outside of drugs and surgery – which weren’t working for him. After exhausting his pharmacy he became willing to work with me on eliminating his pain through complementary alternative medicine. We took a mind, body, spirit approach and Kirk received treatments from an Alexander Technique teacher (Mind-Sharon Jakubecy), an Acupuncturist (Body-Michael Fox), and a Reiki Master (Spirit-Rev.Patricia Bankins). TGO.tv gave me $250 to use to heal Kirk and he was flying high and pain free almost immediately! WOW! Check this out!

My experiences…by Kirk Palayan

When I first met Peter Bedard it was for an amazing community mural we were going to create in Los Feliz with my students at King Middle School.  A year later I had a car accident.  The head on collusion left a permanent mark on my forehead and I had pain in my upper shoulder and neck area. Through chiropractic treatment the pain subsided and I was able to have a much better quality of life.  After a few months passed though I began feeling a slight pain next to my left knee cap.  The pain continued for months and in June of 2009 I found myself in the ER for this as well as a growing pain in my lower back.  By October the pain had reached a level where I was not able to walk or stand for more than a few minutes.  I was told that I had 2 herniated discs that were putting pressure on a nerve that went down my leg.  The neurosurgeon advised me that my only option was a surgery which required 2 months of recovery.  I had a very sedentary life and it was a very frustrating experience.  Peter, although not an MD, had some other ideas for me.
The 1st treatment he took me to was the Alexander Technique with Ms. Sharon Jakubecy.  Apparently I was walking, sitting and functioning improperly and that was causing undue stress and pain to my joints, bones and muscles.  Sharon was able to show me how to literally move through life. I can honestly tell you I felt an immediate strain lifted off my body while working with her.  I am very grateful for having learned the techniques that have since made a profound difference in my life.

The next treatment was acupuncture with Dr. Michael Fox at Silverlake Acupuncture.  Dr. Fox’s acupuncture technique was very subtle yet extremely effective.  He focused on my lower back and other areas and working with him felt like another layer of entrenched pain lifted off me.  It is amazing how pain I had experienced over a year, was affected by one visit, I definitely plan on going back again.
My final treatment was the Reiki healing at the Crystal Matrix. I had never felt sensations like that before.  Reverend Bankins was able to do a massage technique that was so unique and spiritually uplifting, that it is indescribable.  I can say that it felt like my soul was ‘massaged’ and the pain that had pervaded my whole body was diminished.

I am so very grateful for all of the professionals who I met that day in June, they all really listened and made an effort to understand what I was experiencing, and instead of just talking about invasive approaches to dealing with my problems, they showed me that there are alternative and healthy approaches that can make profound changes that really made a difference in my quality of life.  I thank Peter Bedard again for introducing me to a universe of alternative medicines.

Peter looking surprised by Emily while shooting her episode.

Somatic Trauma Resolution (STR) therapy is a client centered approach that facilitates healing of both shock-trauma and developmental-trauma.  STR is relatively short term yet highly effective. STR therapists define trauma as anything that has been overwhelming to your nervous system.  Symptoms may result from a wide range of experiences including accidents, injuries, emotional or physical shock, abuse, violence, sexual assault, invasive surgical procedures, loss/grief, or even birth. Somatic Trauma Resolution therapy can be used as an effective way to prevent chronic problems from developing as well as a way to release chronic issues once dysfunction has set in. A few STR sessions after an accident for example, can save years of psychotherapy, chiropractic, and drugs. You don’t have to wait until Post-Traumatic Stress has set in. Basic STR skills, are helpful to everyone wishing to heal an over loaded nervous system.

Keys to this therapeutic process involve developing resources, tracking sensations, and establishing healthy boundaries.  The client learns how to self regulate his/her nervous system through the careful guidance of the STR therapist, thus increasing physical and emotional resiliency.

This episode brought to you by Wellness Works

As you are guided to become curious about sensations in the body, neural pathways begin to open; held shock/trauma energies can begin to discharge from the nervous system one manageable step at a time.  These energy discharges are often experienced physically through such sensations as temperatures fluctuations, tingling, shaking, etc.  Titration, allows plenty of time and space for the nervous system to heal and reorganize in a way that feels safe and empowering.

You may schedule appointments in Emily’s Santa Monica office or for out of area clients, I offer sessions by phone or SKYPE.

The incomparable Beryl Nozedar teasing our host Peter Bedard

Herbal medicine is a branch of Naturopathy – a way to bring optimum health back to the body using methods which are as close to nature as possible. People for various reasons, losing health benefits, and also those who do not want to continue using drugs are turning to natural medicine. Many spices, vegetables, fruits and herbs hold inexpensive and easy ways to assist healing. For example, garlic has been used for centuries by the ancients as a natural anti-biotic. My book entitled “Wild Abut Weeds” gives many examples of how you can assist your health to recovery for one a few cents. It is our right to be healthy, vibrant and well into the twilight of our lives. Herbs have been used for the Egyptians, North American Indians, Africans, Europeans for centuries with amazing results. Our body does not tolerate drugs and it designed to process natural remedies with ease.

The Art of Exercising and Beyond®

Susan Lynn Bragg

A joy to execute, the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a cutting-edge exercise system made up of beautiful spiraling movements that gently release restrictions in the body while simultaneously increasing strength and connecting you to your core. The design of the specialized equipment promotes freedom of motion, allowing you to transcend the limits of weight bearing positions with no impact on the joints, much like exercising in water. At the same time, you will be developing the internal strength necessary for creating a healthy, toned, injury-free body.

The system was created by Juliu Horvath, a former dancer of Romanian descent, whose personal struggles and chronic injuries inspired him to create a system where fluidity and ease are key.

“The ultimate aim is to be at home in one’s body, experience greater freedom of movement, to feel unrestricted and uninhibited, to be free from pain, to be one with the nature of oneself, and to experience exercise as a creative and delightful experience”

Structural Integration (also known as “Rolfing”®) is what Ida P. Rolf, Ph. D., called her system of manual therapy designed to balance and align the body in gravity. Adaptations to gravity within the muscular-skeletal system usually result in pain, and can look like flat feet, rounded shoulders, a hunched back…“bad posture”….and pain!    Structural Integration strives to align and balance the body’s segments (ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, neck) until the entire system is a smoothly functioning coordinated whole.

The reason we can’t simply “stand up straight” to correct these imbalances is because they are reinforced by fascia, whose job it is to support the positions of muscle and bones. But, what goes down can come up, and fascia can be eased back to a pliable state, allowing muscles and bones to return to their structurally appropriate positions.

An aligned body moves with greater ease. It becomes more flexible and coordinated.  It requires less energy to function. Good posture is effortless.  Breathing is easier.  Athletic performance improves.  Many people feel younger and look thinner.  Structural Integration is known to substantially reduce pain and improve posture.

Peter Bedard & Athena Carillo for CreateYourHealth.com

Holistic Psychotherapy uses the tenets and practices of psychotherapy, while also giving time and space to dialogue with our mind-body-spirit. During a Holistic Psychotherapy session, clients sit on a couch or lie on a massage table; they talk with the practitioner and are guided through exercises of breathing and visualization as indicated. Holistic Psychotherapy acknowledges and works from the understanding that we are beings consisting of mind-body-spirit. These aspects of us are inextricably linked, influencing one another, and functioning all at the same time with and without our awareness. We may focus on addressing one aspect of ourselves knowing we are affecting the whole. For example, in exploring physical tension, i.e., chronic back pain, we may release emotional energy held in the body and experience greater insight and consciousness. As a way of surviving overwhelming experiences or trauma, we compartmentalize thoughts and feelings in the mind-body-spirit and experiences go unconscious. This may be helpful in the moment, but when we do not allow these experiences to move through us, we become defended physically and emotionally cut off from ourselves; we live a little less in the world. This can cause anxiety, depression, pain, low self-esteem and addictive patterns. Holistic Psychotherapy provides the opportunity for clients to address these issues and experience greater knowing of themselves, the meaning of their lives, as well as, transformation and healing.

Dowsing (radioestesia) is an ancient art form dating back at least 7000 years and is still used today in many cultures. It has enjoyed a resurgence for anything from finding unmarked graves to diagnosing illness, and identifying harmful energies within a home. The tools used for dowsing can be organic, like the wooden sticks made of hazelnut or other trees, or metal rods. Sometimes dowsing rods can also be used for finding things such as water underground or mineral deposits, archaeological excavations, and detecting geopathic stress zones. It has even been used to identify plastic mines by the military. Besides dowsing rods, pendulum is widely used, especially in the office /home environment for diagnostic and other purposes.

Your facilitator will use proven gentle movement, sound vibration techniques and simple core affirmations so you achieve and maintain the wave-like “full circular breath” pattern. This activates a high frequency of electromagnetic vibration throughout the body and mind. According to the scientific principle of entrainment, low frequency energy patterns are raised and transformed in the presence of the higher frequency energy state. This clears blockages within the energy systems.

There is no set or predictable experience during or after a session. Since you are an individual, your experience will reflect your uniqueness. Common patterns include tingling sensations, temporary dry mouth, feelings of joy and even mystical adventures. Some experience their buried emotions which are integrated and healed in the session.

Peter learns about NAET with Cedar Sinai Hospital neurologist Dr. Ravinder Singh.

Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques, also known as NAET®, is a non-invasive, drug free, and natural solution to eliminating allergies of all types and intensities. NAET uses a blend of selective energy balancing, testing, and treatment procedures from acupuncture/acupressure, allopathy, chiropractic, nutritional, and kinesiological disciplines of medicine.

One allergen is treated at a time. If you are not severely immune deficient, you may need just one treatment to desensitize one allergen. A person with mild to moderate amount of allergies may take about 15-20 office visits to desensitize 15-20 food and environmental allergens. Basic essential nutrients are treated during the first few visits. Chemicals, environmental allergens, vaccinations, immunizations, etc. are treated after completing about ten basic essential nutrients.

NAET® can successfully eliminate adverse reactions to egg, milk, peanuts, penicillin, aspirin, mushrooms, shellfish, latex, grass, ragweed, flowers, perfume, animal dander, animal epithelial, make-up, chemicals, cigarette smoke, pathogens, heat, cold, other environmental agents. It may take several office visits to desensitize a severe allergen.

NAET® was discovered by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad in November of 1983.

Holistic Health & Nutrition counseling integrates the healing modalities; from the ancient traditions of Ayurveda, Macrobiotics and Chinese Medicine, to the most current concepts like raw foods, detoxification, cleanses, juicing, low-carb lifestyle, ancestral foods, hormonal support, vegetarian vs. animal protein, and glycemic load.

The food on your plate has a crucial affect on your life: “you are what you eat”. There is no perfect way of eating that works for everybody. Our philosophy is centered on the individual; with the understanding that one person’s food is another’s poison.

Everything is food. Holistic Nutrition helps people find authentic nutrition or what is called primary food. Primary food can be anything form finding joy at your work, love in your relationships, a playful exercise routine, or spiritual solitude – this is primary food.

Holistic Nutrition is not about calorie counting, strict diet plans, more self-discipline or willpower. It is about helping people to discover what nourishes them, what feeds them and ultimately what makes their life extraordinary.

Together, the Holistic Nutrition counselor and client customize a plan to upgrade the client’s nutrition and other aspects of their life, including career, relationships, physical activity and spirituality through cooking classes, health food store tours, books, and DVDs. During this period, clients develop a deep understanding of the foods and lifestyle that work best for them, and implement lasting changes that improve their energy, balance and health for the rest of their lives.

Hatha/Vinyasa Flow Yoga is quite simply linking breath with movement. It is meant to stretch and strengthen muscles while balancing and calming the mind. Traditional yoga poses are used with breath and intention being the foundations of the practice. It is meant to stretch and strengthen muscles while balancing and calming the mind.  It is based in the tradition of Ashtanga which, in sanskrit, means ‘eight limbs’ which These are the steps and disciplines that one follows in order to purify mind and body.  The pace can be fast or slow depending on the needs of the student.

Proper physical alignment and strengthening of the body are bi-products of a yoga practice. These aid the body in healing itself and help the body recover from injury. The habitual practice of yoga helps also brings about another bi-product that is invaluable, relaxation. It helps to transform the individual by de-stressing both the mind and body and build a personal sense of spirituality thus allowing the practitioner to live at peak health and be at peace on the inside and out.

Peter & Dr. Darrow

The term “Prolotherapy” is short for “proliferation therapy.”

Proliferation, of course, means “rapid production.” What Prolotherapy rapidly and naturally stimulates is the production of collagen and cartilage. Collagen is a naturally occurring structural protein in the body that is a necessary element for the formation of connective tissue—the tissues that hold our skeletal infrastructure together. These tissues include cartilage, tendons, ligaments, muscle, and muscle fascia, and joint capsular tissue.

Prolotherapy stimulates collagen growth through a series of injections, not of collagen, but of mild chemical or natural irritants such as dextrose. Yes sugar water. This stimulates the immune system’s healing mechanism to produce collagen naturally. This process rejuvenates the soft tissue and can heal headaches, neck and back pain, tears in the rotator cuff of the shoulder, meniscal tears in the knee, elbow, wrist, and hand pain, arthritis, hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain, and foot and toe pain.

Ayurveda means “knowledge of life” and it is an ancient “science of living” that originated in India for balancing body, mind and spirit. The supreme emphasis of Ayurveda is prevention of disease through strengthening the digestive function, along with diet, exercise, breathing and seasonal cleansing and rejuvenation practices that are in alignment with the individual constitution you were born with. To remove toxic accumulations or to restore depleted tissues Ayurveda uses herbs, bodywork treatments with warm herbal oils followed by steaming or hot compresses.

Acupuncture is the use of ultra-fine sterile, disposable needles which are inserted at specific points of the body to precisely redirect the flow of qi energy. There are thousands of acupoints on the body, with over 360 being commonly used. Each has its own specific function. Depending on the desired effect, different techniques can be used to either stimulate, sedate, or regulate the flow of qi. A typical insertion can last from fifteen to forty minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the desired outcome. This sets the stage for the body to repair itself and maintain its own health.

Dr. Reenah McGill, D.O.M., L.Ac.
Licensed Acupuncturist & Biofeedback Specialist

Neurofeedback (NFB), also called neurotherapy, neurobiofeedback or EEG biofeedback (EEGBF) is a therapy technique that presents the user with real time feedback on brainwave activity, as measured by sensors on the scalp, typically in the form of a video display, sound or vibration. The aim is to provide real-time information to the Central Nervous System (CNS) as to its current activity.

Neurofeedback can work with children and adults with ADD/ADHD. It can also be an effective treatment for improving your focus, attention, and memory as well as help to heal more serious issues such as insomnia, headaches, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and the after effects of strokes and accidents. Neurofeedback has a good success rate and has enabled many people to go back to completely normal lives after healing themselves using the tools that it provides.

Dr. McGill offers a no cost consultation, on the phone or in person, to determine if this therapy can help you.

Sandy Bedard, wearing her CYH hat, is a client of Sharon Jakubecy.

Lessons provide an education into the mechanics of the body, your movement patterns (one’s somatic experience of themselves) in your everyday life. Alexander Technique deals with kinesthetic perception, “the sensations of position and movement, of heaviness and lightness, of tension and release, of effort and ease.” It’s like having an owner’s manual to your body.

An herbalist uses formulas comprised of substances such as plants, seeds, fruit, roots, shells, and stones which have energetic properties that resonate with different organs of the body. These ingredients are prescribed to the patient either in pill or powder form after reviewing the patient’s history, physical examination including checking and “reading” of the patient’s pulse, their tongue, abdominal assessment, palpation of meridians, skin color, eye color and assessment of their emotional status. Once the diagnosis is complete, a formula is created which is designed to treat specific organs as well as harmonize and balance the Qi (life energy) of the body.

Dr. Grace

Whole Body Cellular Detoxification – This is also another cutting-edge Western medical practice called ionic cellular cleansing, that pulls toxins out of the body through the pores in the soles of your feet. The feet have the largest pores in the body. By soaking them in warm water, the pores open and a simple physio-chemical ionic exchange occurs where toxins are pulled from the body into the water, like iron filings to a magnet. It’s amazing to see the water change from clean and clear to blackish and dirty, in less than 25 minutes!

The fabulous Dr. Grace.

Dr. Grace

Cold Laser therapy is a form of photonic light therapy that focuses on balancing cellular activity in the body. It comes out of the modern Western medical tradition and is rather cutting edge. The laser is a “cold laser” which means it doesn’t cut, unlike hot lasers currently used for surgery, which can cut through skin. The cold laser works by providing a specific light frequency that tunes in to each cell in the body and makes its biochemistry work better (i.e. skin cell, nerve cell, liver cell, etc.).

As a result, it directly affects diseased, or injured tissue with light-speed accuracy and quickness, to heal a particular physical problem from the inside out. For example, a bacteria will create a particular infection within the body. Once this infection is determined, the laser can be set at a particular frequency, applied to the area experiencing the infection, and help in killing the bacteria.

Or, immediately after surgery, the laser light can stimulate collagen cell growth, heal the area 50% to 75% faster and prevent unwanted scar tissue from forming

All in all, the laser creates healing within the body by restoring balance to the affected area.

Hypnotherapy is for people who are ready to create change in their lives.

Old, unwanted patterns (fears, habits, relationships, limiting beliefs) are easily changed by creating new patterns in your unconscious mind.

Access to this part of your mind is provided through a deep calming of the physical body, the emotions, and your thoughts. Focusing on the pleasures, rewards, and benefits of the new pattern you’re choosing in the hypnotic state automatically guides your unconscious to make the changes intuitively. You can effectively create new, positive patterns through therapeutic office visits, hypnosis phone sessions, or hypnosis mp3 downloads.

Penny Layne helping yet another person using EFT

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique. This technique works by manually “tapping” on acupuncture energy points on your body – primarily on your face and upper torso. The idea is to clear underlying negative belief patterns while engaging your physical body through taping, verbalization, and eye movements. This engages your emotional, mental, and physical self and creates change for the user on each level of awareness.
