Why should I take this course?

The physiological and emotional effects of stress, trauma, and disconnection are deeply embedded in modern illness. Yet most healthcare training doesn’t equip clinicians to address these mind-body dimensions.
In this course, you'll:
  • Understand the neurobiology of stress and attachment
  • Integrate spiritual and existential dimensions into patient care
  • Apply contemplative strategies to enhance therapeutic presence
  • Recommend movement and physical activity as personalized interventions
  • Expand your clinical toolkit with relationship-centered, mind-body skills
This course provides evidence-informed, experiential training in mind-body and movement-based practices, helping you deliver care that honors the full spectrum of human experience—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Whether you’re a physician, advanced practitioner, therapist, or allied health professional, you’ll come away with the tools to foster greater presence, embodiment, and healing in your practice.
