From Joel Elfman - I'm devoted to helping you create a happier, more fulfilling life.  I work with individuals, groups and businesses to achieve more of what they want in their lives.  And to give you (and them) the skills so you can continue to make further changes on your own.

What Do You Want? - I help people make change.  Folks come because they are in pain, confusion and upset.  They have habits, behaviors interfering in their life. Most often they come knowing what they don't want.  And have spent much less time considering how they want to be instead.

Finding the Gold - We can not go back and change what happened.  The GOLD is in changing your reaction to those past events that have limited you, and creating powerful resources for the future. 

My Skills - I'm well-trained in a number of modalities: I'm certified as a hypnotist with over 10 years experience, a NLP Trainer, a coach and a Reiki Master.  I'm also a NY state licensed and nationally certified massage therapist.  And I've explored many other modalities as well. 

I work where mind and body meet. Where the conscious and unconscious mingle.  Where the old and new are no longer stuck in the past and can create wondrous and different realities.  While much of the work I do uses NLP, hypnosis and coaching, you might be surprised to find how much change can occur in simple conversation.  With the consent of the client, sometimes other complimentary modalities are added as well. 

The Focus is You - The focus always remains to help you achieve the results you desire, in a way that is true to who you are now and who you want to be.

You Are Magnificent - You have an amazing array of knowledge within you.  You have survived, learned and grown for years and years.  Most of your skills are highly successful, and a small handful of habits, beliefs, skills serve you poorly, and you know you can do better.  Together we bring forth that better you.

Transforming Old Into New - Those rules, habits and reactions were created when you were younger, in times of stress or given to you by friends, family and society.  And with use of modern and ancient knowledge and techniques, we work together to change, create new rules, new habits, new beliefs and behaviors that will benefit you more powerfully, help you achieve the life you want.

Together we shift your:

• Mind - We all have ways we wish to be different and free ourselves from Conscious and Unconscious limitations of the past.  NLP, Hypnosis and Coaching Skills explore how to make those differences happen.
• Body - Too, often ignored in modern society, stresses, strains, patterns of tension and holding, even old memories are ignored while we rush everywhere or spend time planning what we will do next. Bodywork, Massage, Somatics and Somatic Repatterning release old stresses and strains and teach you to you recognize and embody the patterns of you at your best.
• Energy - Science is still trying to understand subtle effects of energy, electro-magnetic radiation, quantum mechanics are occurring in our bodies. Even if you don't believe is some of the more subtle energies, recognize our heart is the biggest electro-magnetic field generator in our bodies, and that science is just being to understand how those radiations effect us.  Reiki, Polarity, Touch for Health, EFT, Taoist Practices and other forms of energywork are used to facilitate transformation, change and healing.
