Background and Foundations

Dr. Epstein received his ND degree from the National College of Natural Medicine in 1984, followed by a post-graduate residency program in preventive medicine and lifestyle counseling.

Since taking a course in 1984 called, "Healing, Consciousness and Transformation," Dr. Epstein has been living the question "Where's the Healing?"

He has come to know that being "holistic" goes beyond finding the right supplement, botanical extract, homeopathic remedy or trigger point. It is being able to contact the deeper essence of a person, whether you call it the spirit, soul or vital force. In contacting this deeper essence, the holistic physician is able to tap the person's true source of healing, and initiate a process that includes both healing and transformation.

Before beginning formal medical training, Dr. Epstein served as a Montessori school teacher. There he came to understand that true learning is a natural process and occurs spontaneously by creating an environment that fosters investigation. He brings this powerful truth to his work as a physician and teacher: healing is natural and happens when a healing environment is created and cultivated in one’s mind, body, heart and soul.

An important part of Dr. Epstein’s journey occurred when he co-founded and served as co-director of the Israel Center for Mind-Body Medicine near Tel Aviv, Israel.

Dr. Epstein emphasizes the clinical application and integration of all of these mind-body, whole-person oriented therapies with holistic counseling and natural medicines into his multi-disciplined, relationship centered approach to healing.

This distinctive "healing soup" philosophy is especially empowering and effective for people with stress related disorders, immune system issues and chronic degenerative diseases.
