147. Mind-Body Medicine

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang

Mind-body medicine enhances the mind’s interactions with bodily function to improve overall health and well-being.

Mind Body Medicine is what the Mindful Healers Connect in Nature Retreat is about.

What did people have to say about the retreat?

“This was the best thing I did for myself in a very long time.”

“This retreat is really unique because it is run by physicians who understand the challenges of being a physician, how our training magnifies stresses, and the pathophysiology behind the stress and interventions.”

“Loved coming back for a second year! Such appreciation for Jessie and Ni-Cheng who lead with love and compassion. Loved the mindfulness session in the garden. Loved doing yoga on the deck. Loved doing yoga in the yurt. Loved the hikes and paddle boarding. Loved our time in Muir Woods. Loved connecting with other health care providers. Loved that I could come with my spouse and dear friend. Loved that I could reconnect with some folks and meet new folks. Loved the nourishing food. Loved the chocolate session. I really - loved it all : )”
