What should you expect in your treatment?

MBHA is a holistic lifestyle and stress management center.  We focus on facilitating healing and promoting all aspects of health.  From individual health to the health of our families and communities, MBHA is committed to assisting you in finding your path to a fulfilling life.

 

Mind Body Health Associates believes in the diverse expression of goodness in all people.
We recognize that we are more alike than we are different.
We welcome anyone hurt by the pain of exclusion, particularly as it relates to their race, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, addiction, and mental or physical abilities.
We are committed to acting in a way that heals society and mends broken systems.
We commit to creating a culture where all belong.

Natural Treatment

We all possess inherent abilities to heal.  Your treatment will assist you in identifying your own unique resources and clarify choices that promote healing and change.

Changed Perception

Our participants are in search of new ways to experience the world. We are attuned to and care about your perception, needs, and expectations.

Collaboration

w

It is our belief that therapy is a collaborative process. With this in mind, we discover how stress manifests in your life and where you are ready to make change. Together, we identify and implement the necessary changes that are needed to live well.

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

MINDFULNESS

A major premise of Functional Medicine is that, with science, clinical wisdom, and innovative tools, we can identify many of the underlying causes of chronic disease and intervene to remediate the clinical imbalances, even before overt disease is present. Functional Medicine directly addresses these imbalances by using a systems-oriented approach [see below] and by engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership.

In a mindfulness-based approach, we learn to pay attention to our thoughts, emotions, and body sensations in the present moment – so that we are experiencing our life more fully as it unfolds. Using mindfulness, we are also better able to respond, rather than react, to people and events in our lives. Participants learning mindfulness practices in a class setting can change the way they relate to depression and anxiety, pain, to name a few.  We offer an introductory 6 week program throughout the year.  Participants learn new skills and concepts to help them stay out of the way of negative thoughts and learn to manage the unpleasant emotions that typically stress.
