As a holistic therapist and healer, I recognize that we all struggle at some point with the existential issues: aging, death, perhaps a spiritual search or crisis. Successful adults often feel that something essential is missing from their lives or that life simply is not as fulfilling or vibrant as they would like it to be. I believe that anyone's life can be richer. But it takes effort and concentration to reach this goal and recognition that we want to be happy even though the world is imperfect. My holistic healing approach is based on an integration of ideas from several wisdom traditions involving both healer and clients, and usually results in an inner stability that is sustaining through the difficulties in life.

Mary Anne is a 45-year-old woman, happily married with one child and a successful executive in an international real estate development company. She is somewhat perfectionistic and demands a lot of herself. Though happy in her daily life, she wants to feel connected to something deeper or larger in life; she's not sure if that's spiritual, but is open to the possibility. Childhood experience left her somewhat negative about her religious upbringing.  She now has a clearer sense of a spiritual dimension in her life.

John is about to turn 65 and and youthful. He is frightened of death, in part because of what he heard as a child, in part because he doesn't want to leave his children and grandchildren. He enthusiastically attended Kabbalistic Healing study groups and is excited about these new ideas. He is no longer fearful of death.

David is a professional man in his early 70's and caretaker of his slightly older wife. They are both active, although they both have health problems, hers more serious. He is an editor, now working on his first novel. He is having difficulty, in part because he sees life as a downward spiral and has difficulty finding personal meaning in a future that ends with death.  Holistic healing (Integrated Kabbalistic Healing) has given him a sense of possibilities in this stage of his life.
