MindTreeHealth Consulting Services

You can solve your problems in life... no matter the problem. The only real rule about this is that it has to be your problem.

Healing Modalities

Over the past twenty years, I've explored many scientific and spiritual techniques and have had successes with most of them. However, from the experience of solving my own problems and helping hundreds of commited, spiritual people to get unstuck, I've found that four professional approaches provide the most direct results in problem solving:

German New Medicine provides a precise map of the experiential causes of your physical and emotional symptoms. This person-centred biological healing approach provides you with immediate feedback about exactly how you are stuck in life. German New Medicine applies the five basic, scientific laws of healing in both a practical and spiritual sense. Therapy consists of discussion of your or your child's symptoms, emotions, and experiences, with no medical contact or prescription.

Mind Clearing goes right into the core of your belief system to help you complete and get clear of past overwhelming experiences which, hanging suspended in your mind, are keeping you stuck. By being genuinely listened to by another, we are able to tie up emotional loose ends from the past and move forward in life. Using the Clearing Communication Cycle, Mind Clearing technique gently draws you beyond your internal conflicts by helping you to see and free yourself from recurring negative patterns, beliefs and behaviours, as well as improve your ability to more authentically assert your true self. This technique helps you move toward your goals by helping you identify exactly what those goals are. Therapy consists of one-on-one discussion with no instruction on how to "improve" yourself.

Permaculture Design provides an ecologically-based system of turning your life circumstances into a set of assets and resources that can be put in service of your own goals. There is no doubt that your external surroundings and the type of interactions you have with people and other elements of your environment has a profound impact on your and your child's internal world, your thoughts, and your mind-body conflicts. Initially developed as an approach to ecologically-sustainable agricultural production, permaculture design is based on twelve design principles that are equally applicable to many other aspects of our lives, such as business design, home design, financial management, and other cultural endeavors. Permaculture design service consists of discussing your needs, goals, available resources, and specific problems and providing suggestions as to how you can shift the elements of your life to create a system that works better for you and your family.

Nia Technique is a mindful, sensory-based movement practice that empowers people of all shapes and sizes by connecting the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Nia’s purpose is to grow a worldwide community of healthy people who are empowered to do great things. Every one of us can live a fulfilling and meaningful life by engaging our senses and listening to our bodies, and Nia provides the sensory experience to facilitate that feedback process. We can become connected to others to shape a consciousness that extends beyond our own. Drawing from disciplines of the martial arts, dance arts and healing arts, Nia classes are taken barefoot to soul-stirring music and are adaptable to individual needs and abilities. Frankly, Nia can be better than sex; it's based on the pleasure principle... all gain, no pain.

All four of my favourite healing approaches were developed in the 1980's. I believe they are each an outgrowth of the new physics of Complexity Theory that emerged at that time. Perhaps as a result of that, these are beautiful, wholistic approaches that recognize the underlying divine basis of existence, while at the same being firmly rooted in the physical laws of the universe such as ecological laws, biology, and thermodynamics.

All techniques work from a combination of two things. First is the understanding that we're all on a developmental pathway which leads, step by step, to a life of truth and simple joy. Life becomes easier and more blissful the further we go along the pathway.

Second, there are real obstacles on that pathway that it takes effort and understanding to clear away. MindTreeHealth helps you, in a very practical sense, to clear those obstacles. As a result of clearing obstacles on your pathway, you will literally feel lighter, freer, and as though your life has more meaning. That's the direction we'll go. Nowhere else.

What MindTreeHealth Consultations are Like

In one-on-one sessions, I use the Clearing Communication Cycle. A typical session looks like this: my preparation beforehand by reviewing whatever information I have received about you so far, the two of us settling down into an uninterrupted consultation period (usually 1.5 hours), you and I identifying or re-identifying the current problem, identifying your deeper goals related to that problem, identifying the barriers to solving your problem, and then carrying out processes to shift those barriers. How much progress we make on this path is dependent on how well we can establish communication between us; however, you will gain clarity in the consultation that will be helpful to you in continuing to find your own solutions over the following days and weeks. At the end of the consultation, we will review your problem and ways that it has shifted during the consultation and we'll identify your next steps.

Alternatively, for German New Medicine or Permaculture design consultations, you can complete the questionnaire that I send you and I will give you a report within a week.

Clear Your Problem

In six 1.5-hour sessions, we will identify your main problem, clarify your deeper goals associated with this problem, discover what experiences in your life have created this problem and how it is continuing to impact you today, and then shift, dissolve, and clear away the problem. Our sessions can be one-on-one, through facetime such as Skype, or over the phone. 

The six session series should take place with no more than one week between sessions. Problem clearing is best undertaken in a series of three sets of two sessions over a period of three days to three weeks. Each pair of sessions will take 3.5 hours: 1.5 hours plus a half-hour meditation break in between. We have found that this approach provides the best momentum in surmounting obstacles, without overwhelming you.

Six-Session Problem-Clearing Block: $465

Shift Your Problem

In a single 1.5-hour session, we will choose one problem you are having, clarify your deeper goals associated with this problem, and shift the problem so that you will have a sense of practical goals and tasks that you can undertake on your own. Our session can be one-on-one, through facetime such as Skype, over the phone, or I can provide you with a summary of recommendations based on your responses to an online German New Medicine or Permaculture Design questionnaire.

Single Problem-Shifting Session: $85

Identify Your Problem

Sometimes you just need clarification about what, exactly, your obstacle in life is and from there you can roll up your sleeves and take it on by yourself. In this single 40-minute session, we will list your various problems, decide which one is most important at the present time, clarify your deeper goals associated with the problem, and identify obstacles related to the problem. Many people feel much lighter and more hopeful about their lives just from gaining clarity about what, exactly, their challenge is.

Disaster Relief

Everybody has problems in life (<ahem>... challenges!) and most of us are quite able to be helped. But sometimes our problems are so intense or numerous that they pre-empt the possibility of our receiving help. Catch-22!

By "disaster," I mean when life is such a mess that you can't set aside time for consultation, can't keep your appointment, or can't pay any attention during the appointment because of the overwhelming urgency of your situation. This could range from a raging toothache to a fragile relationship situation or being in immediate financial trouble.

In this situation, I can add my ability to your ability in order to create more discipline in your life to get your problems into a range where you can begin to proactively instead of reactively work on them. Together, we will quickly sort through your emergencies and set up a disaster relief plan which would involve me contacting you regularly over a certain period of time to monitor your carrying out of your plan. If you've been able to carry it out, we'll move faster to downgrade the disaster to the status of "problem." If you haven't been able to carry it out, we'll adjust the strategy and I will adjust the amount that I help you.

The goal of disaster relief is to downgrade your emergencies to the point where they become identifiable problems to be solved, instead of acute stresses that overwhelm your attention and ability to function. We will begin disaster relief with a one-on-one session in which we will clarify the situation you're in and book a one-on-one problem-solving session to be undertaken four weeks in the future. Then we'll set up a system for you and I to contact one another regularly over those four weeks.

I am open to negotiating a trade instead of monetary payment. I put together Lishui's Wish List one day while I was thinking about the kinds of things I would be happy to take instead of money.
