Certified Biofeedback Therapist

Welcome Friends

I have been a Board Certified Biofeedback Specialist for 16 years.
I specialize in and have helped clients from Elite Athletes to Movie Producers to people with complex chronic illnesses, to reduce their stress and optimize their health.

Directed Self Care

'Self care' is so important - yet it can be hard to know where to put your
attention - 'do I focus on working on my physical, mental, emotional, environmental, spiritual body?'

I use biofeedback technology and techniques to ascertain what are the acute stressors showing up right now and
how to release that stress and replace it with frequencies that offer optimal health for your body / mind. Let’s
work together to come up with and implement a ‘self-care’ plan and program.

What is Energy Medicine?

Energy medicine has been around for centuries and is accepted in many cultures. Allopathic medicine has made great and life-saving progress in the past century. In Energy Medicine an assessment is based on the analysis of your unique energy patterns. Since this specialized branch of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) believes that all disease begins in the subtle energy body and then filters into the physical one, energetic disturbances are looked at first.

In Energy Medicine, the body is healed by activating its natural healing energies and also by restoring energies that have become weak, disturbed or imbalanced.

By accurately assessing your human energy field, therapeutic steps can be taken to bring your body, mind and soul into balance. Once the energy flow has been restored, you can enjoy better health and vitality.

A clip from the Lyme Summit interview on how I add 1 and let go of one to change the trajectory (in 2 weeks or less I will have the interview and can give you the specific start and end time to get this clip)

Deepak Chopra wrote “To promote the healing response, you must get past all the grosser levels of the body-cells, tissue, organs and systems—-and arrive at a junction point between mind and matter,the point where consciousness actually starts to have an effect.”

Looking to reduce stress ? According to the AMA and the US National Institute of Health, "stress in all of its forms is the most common cause of all disease".

Studies show that with proper management and reduction of stress, you heal, not hide, the resulting painful medical or psychological disorder.

Stress underlies all disease. This is now understood, accepted and proven. Yet I find the word ‘stress’ to be so amorphous. Is the stress physical - in my body or in my environment? Is it emotional from a current or past trauma? Maybe it is mental or spiritual - I feel like I don’t belong….So now we are feeling even more stressed trying to figure out what stress is underlying our pain or sickness!

This is why I say ‘Directed Self Care’ - we can use this amazing technology to help us see what some of our stressors are, where they are, and then run programs to re-educate the muscles, to let go of stressors that do not serve us and accept in frequencies to optimize our body/mind/soul.

Together we will make a plan for lifestyle changes, food and supplement choices, and remember: we only make small changes - add in one thing and let go of one thing and this changes our trajectory from illness into health, from entropy into synergy.

I look forward to walking this path with you.
Stress is made up of two characters:
The upper character represents: DANGER.The lower character represents: OPPORTUNITY.

Read on to learn about Hans Seyle, the first scientist to identify ‘stress’ as underpinning the nonspecific signs and symptoms of illness.

Hans Selye
Hungarian-Canadian endocrinologist

The relationship between stress and disease is now well established, but was not always recognised. The word ‘stress’ is used in physics to refer to the interaction between a force and the resistance to counter that force, and it was Hans Selye who first incorporated this term into the medical lexicon to describe the “nonspecific response of the body to any demand “. Selye, who is known as the ‘father of stress research’, disavowed the study of specific disease signs and symptoms, unlike others before him, and instead focused on universal patient reactions to illness. His concept of stress impacted scientific and lay communities alike, in fields as diverse as endocrinology, complementary medicine, animal breeding and social psychology.

The closest Chinese word to signify “stress” is written as two characters as illustrated below and can be translated as “crisis”.
Finding an acceptable definition of stress was a problem that haunted Selye his entire life and he would occasionally send me cards from all over the world such as the one above or notes containing tidbits of information. As usual, “The Greeks had a word for it.” Twenty-four centuries previously, Hippocrates had written that disease was not only pathos (suffering), but also ponos (toil), as the body fought to restore normalcy. While ponos might have sufficed, the Greeks settled for stress. The Japanese subsequently came up with their own version. Because it was clear that most people viewed stress as some unpleasant threat, Selye had to create a new word, “stressor”, in order to distinguish between stimulus and response. Even Selye had difficulties when he tried to extrapolate his laboratory research to humans. In helping to prepare the First Annual Report on Stress in 1951, I included the comments of one critic, who, using verbatim citations from Selye’s own writings concluded, “Stress, in addition to being itself, was also the cause of itself, and the result of itself.”

Reminiscences of Hans Selye, and the Birth of “Stress”

By Paul J. Rosch, M.D., F.A.C.P.
Stress has become such an ingrained part of our vocabulary and daily existence, that it is difficult to believe that our current use of the term originated only a little more than 50 years ago, when it was essentially “coined” by Hans Selye. How this came to pass because of a serendipitous laboratory accident is interesting, but not nearly as fascinating as the story of its discoverer, Hans Selye, who would easily qualify for the Reader’s Digest “Most Unforgettable Character I Ever Met” classification. Because of our long and close personal and professional relationship, I was privy to a considerable amount of information not available to others. Some personal reminiscences follow:

Hans Selye 1907-1982

Hans Selye (Selye János in Hungarian), was born in Komarno, Slovakia (at that time Komárom, Hungary) in 1907. Selye attended school at a Benedictine monastery, and since his family had produced four generations of physicians, entered the German Medical School in Prague at the age of 17, where he graduated first in his class, and later earned a doctorate in organic chemistry. As a medical student, Selye observed that patients suffering from different diseases often exhibited identical signs and symptoms. They just “looked sick”. This observation may have been the first step in his recognition of “stress”. He later discovered and described the General Adaptation Syndrome, a response of the body to demands placed upon it. The Syndrome details how stress induces hormonal autonomic responses and, over time, these hormonal changes can lead to ulcers, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, arthritis, kidney disease, and allergic reactions. His seminal work “A Syndrome Produced by Diverse Nocuous Agents” was published in 1936 in Nature. Selye’s multi-faceted work and concepts have been utilized in medicine and in almost all biological disciplines from endocrinology to animal breeding and social-psychology.

Selye spent a significant time of his life in Hungary, in Czechoslovakia, in the USA and in Canada. I first met Selye in 1949, when he was writing his monumental tome “Stress”. He was already internationally regarded as one of the world’s leading authorities on endocrinology, steroid chemistry, experimental surgery and pathology. Selye once told me that he never felt he really had any nationality of his own but also confided that he was most proud of his Magyar Hungarian heritage. When I was at his Institute, Selye’s average workday was 10 to 14 hours, including weekends and holidays. He habitually got up around 5:00 A.M. or earlier, took a dip in the small pool in the basement of his house, and then rode his bicycle six miles to work. We continued to keep in close contact while I was at Johns Hopkins, and later when I headed the Endocrine section at Walter Reed. He wrote to me frequently, often sending me amusing notes from all over the world, and periodically commissioned me to write articles, or review his own, even after I entered private practice. He had numerous requests for consultations, but to the best of my knowledge never saw a patient although he regularly referred many to me. Selye probably received more awards than any other physician (including the highest order of Canada), but not the Nobel Prize, although he was nominated for it several times. Many of his 40 books and over 1700 publications became bestsellers all over the world. Selye died in 1982 in Montreal, Canada; his influence on the scientific community is unbaiting and his work contributed to a better scientific and popular understanding of disease and its causes.

Advances in stress research have always been a function of the level of our knowledge of biochemistry and physiology. Much of what Selye believed and proposed was not entirely correct. He was unaware of a host of other components that were subsequently demonstrated to be important instruments in the stress orchestra. His real legacy can be summed up by what he often reminded me: theories don’t have to be correct – only facts do. Many theories are of value simply because of their heuristic value, i.e., they encourage others to discover new facts, which then lead to better theories.

Although Selye was fluent in at least eight languages, including English, and could converse in another half dozen, his choice of “stress” to describe the non-specific response syndrome he discovered, was unfortunate. He had used “stress” in his initial letter to the Editor of Nature in 1936, who suggested that it be deleted since this implied nervous strain and substituted alarm reaction. He was also unaware that stress had been used for centuries in physics to explain elasticity, the property of a material that allows it to resume its original size and shape after having been compressed or stretched by an external force. As expressed in Hooke’s Law of 1658, the magnitude of an external force, or stress, produces a proportional amount of deformation, or strain, in a malleable metal. Selye several times complained to me that had his knowledge of English been more precise, he would have gone down in history as the father of the “strain” concept. This created considerable confusion when his research had to be translated into foreign languages. There was no suitable word or phrase that could convey what he meant, since he was really describing strain. In 1946, when he was asked to give an address at the prestigious Collège de France, where Bernard and Pasteur had been friendly rivals, the academicians responsible for maintaining the purity of the French language struggled with this problem for several days, and subsequently decided that a new word would have to be created. Apparently, the male chauvinists prevailed, and le stress was born, quickly followed by el stress, il stress, lo stress, der stress in other European languages, and similar neologisms in Russian, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic. Stress is one of the very few words that are preserved in English in languages that do not use the Roman alphabet.
