Integrative Body Psychotherapy

Majorie L. Rand, Ph.D.

I have been a psychotherapist for 30 years, licensed in 3 states: California, Colorado and New Mexico, and have trained psychotherapists world-wide since 1986. My training Institutes are located in Switzerland, Canada, Germany, Israel, South America and five in the United States. 

The focus of my work is body/mind/spirit, using somatic psychotherapy and meditation. As a Developmental psychologist, I believe that we are influenced by events starting at conception and through the first three years of life (based on Object Relations theory).

In addition to my practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am also a somatic psychotherapist, meditation teacher, supportive yoga therapy teacher and pre- and peri-natal psychologist.

A presentation of a new paradigm for healing which the authors have named Mindfulness-Base Somatic Psychotherapy (MBSP). This integrated approach may enable patients to get well faster as they progress through the healing process. In MBSP, emphasis is on patient participation, self-responsibility and an understanding of stress and lifestyle management, affect regulation, and the process of mind-body healing. This mind-body paradigm focuses both on the patient's core sens of self and wellness as well as the patient's presenting problem.
