Rewind! We talk about Energy Work and the autonomic nervous system with Mara Benner, a Certified Energy Medicine Practitioner, Reiki Master, founder of Four Directions Wellness, and Spiritual Director at the GW Center for Integrative Medicine.
Mara has more than 30 years in the health care and aging fields. She began her career majoring in gerontology and working at various times in hospitals, nursing homes, home health, hospice and elder protective services. She has worked at the Federal and state level on healthcare and aging policy. She is now focused on mind-body-spirit connections through Reiki, Integrative Reflexology, meditation/guided imagery, Yogic Chakra Healing, executive coaching, transitional coaching, and integrative healthcare consulting.
Mara has always been intrigued by the body-mind-emotions-spirit connections. Her passion is in how we can adopt “whole person” care in partnership with the current healthcare system and with each person.
