Aromatherapy has been used in her practice beginning with the understanding that she was practicing wellness. She became an aromatherapist to create her own products for the treatments she gave. Sea Salt Body Polishes, Facials and Hand and Foot treatments include use of her products during body treatments that are pure, natural and void of the toxins that her clients are seeking to release.

As her clients enjoyed the treatments, they asked about the aromas and oils. They wanted to have them at home, and thus Body Seasonings was born.

The center has 2 treatment rooms, office, waiting area(which is also used for gatherings) and a kitchen where she is blending herbs for all her products and preparing supplements for her weekly gatherings.

Blends are made for different mind/body and spirit conditions, and her natural handmade bath and body products are sold locally and available online.

PODCAST RADIO INTERVIEW with Brother Bernard (one of his favorites) http://www.shrinkrapradio.com/?s=seif

The National Catholic Reporter newspaper ran a well done article, primarily about by work with monastic interreligious dialogue. Here's the link http://http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-159921679.html

Chinese medicine, meditation, and neurotheology captivate me. I use these modalities clinically, along with additional behavioral approaches to health and wellness, in my clinical psychology practice. Clinical Hypnosis and lifestyle assessment, for example, may also be utilized.

Advice on Asian medicinal herbs and Western nutraceuticals may be among the exclusively natural and non-invasive options offered. Saliva, urine, stool, and hair testing through certified clinical & research laboratories is available as needed.

Medical Qigong and other forms of Eastern / Western Bodywork Therapy are utilized when requested and appropriate. I give workshops throughout the country and abroad when time permits and as invited.

Brother Bernard's Chinese name, Cai De Ren (Chinese characters are above under English name), is a goal he strives for. It can loosely be translated as "the Doctor who practices virture, especially compassion toward patients."

Acupuncture is the insertion of fine hair like needles into specific acupuncture points or sites. Stimulation of these sites encourages the body to rebalance and return to health. Acupuncture can affect numerous health concerns such as pain related to muscloskeletal issues, digestive and respiratory disorders, gynecological problems and even emotional issues such as depression. Deep relaxation and a general sense of well being is often experienced during and after an acupuncture treatment.

We offer 700 hour certification programs in Shiatsu and Tuina that will enable you to become nationally certified through the NCCAOM and ultimately licensed to practice. In addition to these trainings, we offer a range of Qi-development (Taiji, qigong, yoga, meditation) & continuing education classes open to everyone.

Try CEH - I can schedule a complimentary 30-minute session for you at your convenience. See what it's like to be free of that nagging pain, physical or emotional block and feel like you again.

This technique is equally effective for pets. I use it on my own geriatric cat. As a volunteer at Winslow Farms, a sanctuary for abused and neglected animals, in Norton, MA, I have done extensive work on many of the animals there. My most successful story from the farm is the story of Moses, a 17-year old goat. In June 2004, he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and given only a short time to live. When I arrived at the farm that day, Moses was curled up in a corner of the barnyard, unable to move and with no appetite. I worked on him 3 or 4 different times on one day and when I left, he was up and around and eating again. I checked on him frequently over the summer and found his energy to be strong. I went back to the farm in October and was met at the gate by Debi, the owner. When I asked about Moses, she responded "Even the vet says it's a miracle!" It took me all day to track him down and when I did, he came right up to me, almost as if he recognized me. Then he leaned over and let me pat him. He had gained weight, his heart was strong and his lungs were doing well. I checked him all over, made some corrections for him and left him for the season. Almost a year later, he is still doing well.

Although I cannot keep Moses from passing on, I can keep him comfortable, I can keep him free from pain and I can extend his life as much as possible. Moses continues to do well.
