Surgical Coaching
It is our belief that we each have within us the ability to influence our healing process. The Beyond Surgery® Program offers a combination of education, practice and guidance in the principal components which can initiate and support your body’s natural healing response.
You will learn to incorporate interactive therapies which reduce your stress and anxiety, shift your focus to positive outcomes, elevate your immune system functioning, and promote the deep physical relaxation which greatly enhances your healing process. Our coaching practices also assist you to incorporate family and friends into your healing process in a positive and supportive way. Surgery and medical challenges can be a wake-up call for changing your lifestyle; our coaching support can make that process more effective and comfortable.
Healing Touch
Featured on CBS News’ “Healthwatch,” Healing Touch is internationally used in hospitals and clinics. A hands-on energy therapy which activates and supports your natural ability to heal, Healing Touch works in harmony with standard medical care and is highly effective for relaxation, pain management, and accelerated recovery from surgery, illness or injury.

Guided Imagery
Our guided imagery techniques are based on documented data showing significantly reduced need for pain medication and decreased hospital stay with its use. Guided imagery is currently the most substantially documented integrative modality for medical procedures. It is recognized by Blue Cross/Blue Shield and used by a growing number of highly respected hospitals in the United States before and after heart surgery, transplants and other medical procedures. The Beyond Surgery® Program coaches you in customized guided imagery and provides you with an engaging guided imagery CD to help you participate fully in your own healing process.
HeartMath Technology
This widely acclaimed health management and stress relief system can measurably shift your heart rhythms and emotional patterns into a level of coherence which transforms stress and raises your immune system. Medical professionals are recommending this interactive feedback technology to activate physiological health and manage the stress levels of their patients. The Beyond Surgery® Program includes HeartMath Technology as an integral part of your healing.

Anxiety Release Technique®
Anxiety Release Technique® (ART) is a quick and easy-to-learn method for releasing anxieties surrounding a current situation. A derivative of Emotional Freedom Technique, it involves tapping gently on a series of key energy meridian points known to balance energy disruptions. Energy disruptions can cause anxiety, and perpetuate negative thoughts and emotions. Because physical health and quality of life are directly related to emotional health, clients are taught this method as an everyday tool to diffuse worry and concern.
Stress Management Education
Specific education and techniques are included in this program to assist in creating choices to alleviate anxiety and formulate patterns of health and balance before, during and after surgery. We teach you to be an active participant in your own healing process with techniques to reduce anxiety on the spot as well as holistic tools for long-term life changes which can prevent recurrence and sustain ongoing health and healing at all levels. An informative and instructive workbook is provided, consisting of a “toolbox” of interactive techniques to activate your body’s own innate healing response.
