Description

The goal of this course is to provide the student with an understanding of PNI from an energetic perspective as well as from a purely scientific perspective. It will allow the student to explore the theory that we contribute to the creation and/or exacerbation of illness—as well as its reversal— through our attitudes, emotions and behaviors. The student will learn numerous healing modalities within the field of PNI. Through this study the student’s understanding of the mind, body, spirit connection will be examined and amplified.
