As a hospital-based program, the Institute for Health & Healing is committed to bringing the best in evidence-based therapies to the Marin community. Our holistic services are designed to work in harmony with your conventional medical care to help you create a healthy life balance. For those who are struggling with an illness, our services can help bring side effect and symptom relief. We commonly work with the following conditions: stress, cancer, insomnia, weight management, chronic pain and prenatal care.

Integrative psychotherapy offers a safe environment for the exploration of body, mind, emotions and spirit, and their impact on health, personal fulfillment and relationships. In a session with our licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, you may explore and transform limiting patterns, traumas and beliefs that block or inhibit your life. Approaches are uniquely tailored to the individual, and may include insight-oriented inquiry, lifestyle changes, EMDR (a technique used to address post-traumatic stress disorder), and guided imagery.

Work with a certified, well-trained nutritionist to discover healthy and enjoyable ways of eating, and learn about the most appropriate use of nutritional supplements and herbs.

We help you design a practical, customized approach to nutrition that is flexible and easy to adopt.

Instead of using needles to improve the movement of "chi" through the meridians, acupressure and other healing modalities are used to help clear emotional, mental and spiritual issues. This treatment combinesTaoist Five Element Acupuncture Theory with Bach Flower Essences and the vibration of tuning forks on specific acupuncture points to create a healing resonance in the body.
