About Us
Our Vision: What We Believe
We believe that overcoming anxiety is possible for everyone, no matter how bad it may seem or how long you've been dealing with it.
We believe it doesn't have to take months (or years) of trial and error or powerful psychoactive medications to find what works and gain relief from anxiety in a reasonable amount of time.
We believe there are specific strategies, when used under an integrative plan, that can effectively help you to manage, control and overcome anxiety.
We believe an optimal plan for overcoming anxiety is one that treats the whole person; mind, body and soul; the psychological, biological and spiritual (our deeper selves); our inner world and our outer relationship with others and the world at large.
We believe that these are not separate aspects of each individual but interrelated.
We believe all of this because we've been there and have pulled ourselves out of the depths of severe anxiety, panic attacks, fear and despair using the exact strategies we recommend.
We overcame anxiety through years of trial and error; research, trainings, books, seminars, supplements, herbs, medications, successes, failures and relapses.
We believe you shouldn't have to do the same, but instead you should have direct access to exactly what works and why.
