A Collection of Integrated Holistic Books
Across the decades, my books have emerged from a deep commitment to an integrated holistic approach to living, healing, and thriving that honors the complexity of being human across the many layers of our experience. All were written with the intention of making healthcare, including yoga and other contemplative practices, accessible, meaningful, and beneficial for a wide range of professionals in therapeutic and healthcare settings. Rooted in ancient wisdom traditions and informed by contemporary insights from neuroscience, positive psychology, and interpersonal neurobiology, this long line of works reflects an ongoing exploration of how integrated holistic yoga practices, person-centered psychotherapy, and discerning lifestyles can support emotional and self-regulation, resilience, and a more compassionate and peaceful relationship with ourselves and others.
