Mind-Body Health Pathways

In addition to being board certified in Neuromusculoskeletal and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine and Family Medicine, Dr. Daniel Gibbons and Dr. Jacey Goddard are board certified in Integrative Medicine which includes the Mind-Body approach. This wellnesss-based approach offers various pathways to one’s Health, which include emotional and spiritual connections to the physical body. These sessions are conducted virtually, and use methods including meditation guidance, counseling, and Osteopathic principles. We have found that these Mind-Body Pathways support the overall Health and allow for greater self-awareness and fulfillment. This approach can be often be more effective than hands on treatment of the physical body in addressing some issues by creating more lasting foundational connections to one’s Health and one’s Self. These include, but are not limited to, pain control, autoimmune and nervous system problems including long covid, stress management, and life path decisions.
