• Learn how to choose the right equipment
• Learn how to operate top quality clinical/research grade equipment (hardware and software)

Learn biofeedback modulated tools to reverse and prevent stress related disorders.

Stress is a major factor in more than 80 percent of illness seen by a primary care physician. The workshop focuses upon teaching pragmatic skills which clients can mobilize to improve their health and reduce their stress. It is based upon the book Make Health Happen which has been taught to more than 5000 students who report an 80% improvement rate.

Based upon an evolutionary perspective of health, the workshop outlines the specific techniques and procedures which include monitoring awareness of stress, dynamic regeneration, breathing, hand-warming, cognitive stress reduction, imagery for healing, and behavior change with economical biofeedback devices that clients can use such as StressEraser, Emwave, My CalmBeat, GSR2 and Myotrac. Using these tools, clients have reduced their blood pressure, tension, headaches, stopped smoking, reducing eczema, eliminating warts, reducing back pain, lowering depression, controlling anger or anxiety, as well as increasing exercise frequency, improving diet, etc.
