Mind-Body therapy honours each person as a whole and considers the interconnections of emotions, thoughts, body, spirit and life experiences in the personalized approach to care.
What is mind-body therapy used for?
Our Mind-Body Therapy service is informed by yoga therapy, which merges Western understanding of anatomy and neurophysiology with Eastern traditional yogic practices and philosophy and blends these practices with additional mind-body therapeutic services to offer comprehensive support. One-to-one sessions help to compassionately address and support the physical, emotional and neuropsychological states that are affecting one’s life through blending tailored embodiment, mindfulness and somatic tracking practices, with neurobiology, and trauma-theory education.
