Lowering Stress and Pain During Cancer
I recently had the honor and pleasure of helping a woman during her cancer treatments and one of the most difficult times of her life. She was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her medical treatment included surgeries for a lumpectomy, port placement, two rounds of chemotherapy, and radiation.

See it! Feel it! Believe it! Achieve it!
Welcome to 2014! Many people begin the new year with new goals and intentions for what they want to release in their lives and what they want to invite and bring into their lives.

CAM Not So Alternative Anymore: Holistic Healing Research Supports Efficacy in OT Practice
Here is an article I co-wrote with Holistic OT, Mandy Lubas. It was published in ADVANCE Magazine for Occupational Therapy Practitioners on June 10, 2013. While this is geared toward Occupational Therapy Practitioners, it is applicable to us all – whether you are a practitioner of health care or one who uses holistic care. Complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) is, by definition, healthcare that falls outside of researched and “proven” methods of mainstream healthcare. This has been determined by our modern-day, mainstream medical system. We are seeing a trend of increased research for what has been considered alternative demonstrate efficacy and are seeing increased use of these approaches. Much of what has…

The Power of the Mind in Healing
Here is an article I wrote for the Holistic OT column in ADVANCE Magazine for Occupational Therapy Practitioners. It highlights how the mind can heal and prevent disease and illness. Enjoy! New research shows we all have the ability to self-heal and prevent diseases. Mind-body healing can actually “switch on” or “switch off” gene activity or gene expression associated with disease. As occupational therapists, we can integrate these approaches into our lives and assist our clients with recovery and disease prevention for health and well-being. I had the honor of interviewing one of the premier mind-body healing physicians and researchers, Dr. Herbert Benson, MD, for this article. His research shows…

Expanding Holistic Care in to Mainstream Health Care
I am grateful to be able to share a Holistic OT column with Mandy Lubas, OTR/L in ADVANCE Magazine for Occupational Therapy Practitioners. We wrote this article, “Complementary and Alternative Medicine is an Emerging Specialty Practice Area in the Profession” in the Fall of 2012. We received such great reviews and responses that we now have a whole column dedicated to bringing Holistic – Mind, Body, Spirit Medicine in to health care through Occupational Therapy practice. This is the first article for our new column, “Light on Holistic OT.” Enjoy and thank you for all of the great support!
