Abstract

When sudden changes happen in a person’s life, may it be due to an injury or outer force, inner balance tends to be disrupted. Dr. Prem will outline the importance of bringing the mind and body in alignment with the soul. Her approach is soul-oriented. Once the client has access to the soul, balance in the mind can be re-established.
