When we approach wellness from a whole perspective, we look not only at the physiological aspect of health, but we endeavor to care for the mind and spirit as well. Meditation, cognitive healing, visual and positive imaging, empowerment coaching and varied forms of therapy and counseling are all considered complementary and alternative options that can nurture the mind, lift the spirit and support mental health. This is an important task when we consider the depression and anxiety that can accompany living with HIV. What precisely do we wish to accomplish by engaging in treatments that focus on the mind and spirit? Certainly, the answer to that question will be personally driven and different for each of us. For me, the one word that often comes to mind, and that I often hear from clients, is “empowerment.” Continue reading...

Meridians of Health
In the September issue A&U Magazine, my column, The Whole Perspective, focuses on an introduction to acupuncture.
Acupuncture is an Eastern healing modality that is said to have originated some 2,500 years ago. It falls under the umbrella of Traditional Chinese Medicine. While it originated in China, it is now widely practiced in the West. Very simply put, acupuncture is a form of complementary and alternative medicine that involves inserting thin needles into the skin, or pricking the skin or tissues with needles, to alleviate pain or to treat various physical, mental, and emotional conditions. But how does it work and why do people living with HIV sometimes look to acupuncture as a complementary therapy? The short answer is a small word with a vast meaning: qi. Continue reading....

Giving Back to the Community - Cycle for the Cause, the Northeast AIDS Ride
In some capacity, either professionally or personally, I have been an activist for a variety of causes for the past 25 years. I cannot stress enough, the importance of any community coming together to lend its energy, time and skills to further a cause.
In keeping with my longtime and strongly held beliefs that impact of giving is paramount, I am pleased to announce that I have signed on as volunteer massage therapist for the 2015 Cycle for the Cause -- the Northeast AIDS ride.
Every September hundreds of riders and crew members come together and embark on a journey like no other: Cycle for the Cause. Together they train, fundraise and prepare to make the roughly 275-mile trek from Boston to New York. Some are veteran riders and some have never cycled before, but they all share one common thread: their dedication to the cause -- fighting HIV/AIDS.
In addition to volunteering my professional skills, I am fundraising. If you are so inclined, and would like make a donation to this effort, please CLICK HERE.
