Current Offerings:
Cultivating a Healing Presence: Discovering the Healer Within
While we may have spent years in school learning the technical skills and specific modalities of our professions, most of us have not devoted that same amount of time to consciously develop the healer within us. This highly experiential course focuses on enhancing our capacities to offer a healing experience for our clients through the presence and awareness we bring to the therapeutic relationship.
This two-day seminar begins with an emphasis on expanding your awareness, including embracing “healer heal thyself” as a necessary path to serve your clients with greater presence and compassion. The focus on the “self” is integrated into an awareness of others through exercises that interweave communication and coaching skills, somatic practices, and subtle energy observation and listening. In learning to develop greater trust, rapport, and connection with clients, you will also engage in an inquiry process that will help you to access a more authentic and embodied way of practicing your healing art. Explore how the healing presence you offer to others is a direct reflection of your own vitality and an expression of the passion and unique flavor you bring to your life and work.
This seminar will nourish you as a healer, deepen the heart and soul of your work and service, and allow who you “are” to become your medicine. Gift yourself, your clients, and the world by consciously choosing to cultivate your healing presence. Reconnect with your passion and find your work infused with vital energy.
Upon completion of this seminar you will be able to:
-
•Describe what it means to cultivate a healing presence.
-
•Define the gross, subtle, and causal realms of awareness.
-
•Use new practices to expand awareness, ground and center.
-
•Identify what it feels like to embody a healing presence.

Read what past participants have said of this program:
“In 13 years of continuing education, this was the most helpful seminar I have ever taken as far as enabling me to be a better physician."
“Above and beyond my expectations! I gained more than I thought I could or would, so I would add “brilliant” behind Dr. Deb’s teaching!”
“I would love to see Dr. Deb teach many many more courses as she truly teaches from her heart, and passion pours out of her soul! She is very present and grounded!”
“Dr. Deb is an incredible teacher. It is obvious this is not just what she is educated in, it is the way she lives. She is honest, open hearted and gentle with each person individually. She speaks in a way that is easy to grasp the concepts that are not so concrete and often foreign in our culture. I would highly recommend her teachings. I will not be the same moving forward.”
“The course is fun, challenging, thought provoking, stimulating, playful, and simply amazing. The 16 hours seemed to fly by. I would take it again and would recommend it to anyone.”
“Dr. Deb covers a lot of different aspects of what it means to cultivate a healing presence, but I was able to immediately apply all that I learned.”
“It is coming full circle to being fully more at home in yourself.”
“This class has tripled my awareness of not only myself, but others.”
“I’m going to be more aware of my behavior, speech, energy level and subtle details of working with clients. I’m sure I’m going to be more confident and courageous about how I relate one-on-one in my practice.”
“Dr. Zucker does such a wonderful job integrating life, job, healing and self in a constructive way.”
“This [workshop] will create a huge opportunity for more healing and understanding to flow.”
“I’d recommend this to anyone at any level.”
“What stood out the most to me was how well Dr. Zucker planned the course and integrated the phases of learning into a very whole and complete experience.”
