#34 Author & Energy Healer Aubree Deimler Discusses her Path to Healing Endometriosis

After spending years in school pursuing degrees in Political Science and Business Administration, Aubree Deimler eventually fell upon her true passion...health and wellness.

Aubree Deimler.jpg

After spending years in school pursuing degrees in Political Science and Business Administration, Aubree Deimler eventually fell upon her true passion...health and wellness. This stemmed from her official diagnosis of endometriosis at 29 years old. This painful, chronic condition spurred her inner researcher to find a solution.

Rather than follow the conventional suggestion of drugs and surgery, she took an alternative road on a journey of whole healing - on a physical, emotional and spiritual level... and the rest as they say, is history.

As her body started to heal, Aubree was inspired to share a message of hope on her blog at peacewithendo.com. 

She continued her education at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) where she was equipped with extensive knowledge in holistic nutrition, personalized coaching and preventive health.

After graduating from IIN in 2014, her education didn’t stop. She delved more into the energetic and spiritual side of healing and learned how to clear and balance out energy through the chakra system.

As an author, coach, and energy healer, Aubree is deeply passionate about wellness and inspiring other women with endometriosis to reconnect with a life filled with love and positive rhythms.

She provides education and support for empowered women with endometriosis who want to manage pain through natural methods, increase energy, and find peace with endo.

To connect with Aubree further and to learn about upcoming happenings please visit www.peacewithendo.com.

#26 Psychotherapist Bette Galen discusses the Importance of Emotional Wellbeing

Bette Galen has been a Licensed Clinical Social worker for 16 years. Her specialties include – women’s reproductive health, trauma, and life transitions.

Bette Galen.jpg

Bette Galen has been a Licensed Clinical Social worker for 16 years. Her specialties include – women’s reproductive health, trauma, and life transitions.

Counseling in reproductive health issues includes the emotional, psychological, and relational difficulties that occur when individuals and couples have unexpected roadblocks to growing their family. 

She regularly provides consultations, education, and support for individuals and couples pursuing egg, sperm,  or embryo donation,  those seeking  a gestational carrier and those wishing to freeze their eggs for later use.  Each month she facilitates  a general infertility group and a couple’s infertility group.  In addition to working in her private practice, she is a social worker on staff in the Complementary Care department of a prestigious New Jersey  practice of Reproductive Endocrinologists.

When working with clients who have experienced trauma, be it infertility related,  or sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, Bette is informed by many  modalities of treatment including but not limited to  Internal Family Systems, Pia Mellody’s Post Induction Therapy for Relational Immaturity,  and EMDR.

As we age and grow, we all face any number of transitions – death or estrangement from loved ones, parenting or childfree living, divorce, or employment changes in these challenging  economic times. Learning cognitive strategies to neutralize negative thought patterns, building mind/body techniques to help with relaxation in order to get ‘unstuck’,  and learning to set boundaries, manage emotions and expectations, and operating  from your ‘best adult self’  can help while transitioning.

After  many years of working in the fashion business, Bette went back to school for her master’s degree in social work.  She had her own difficulty with infertility and is passionate about helping those going through that difficult journey. She is a member of The American Society of Reproductive Medicine, The Mental Health Professional Group of ASRM, a Resolve Therapist, and is certified in Internal Family Systems.

Today I discuss the importance of self care and how taking a few minutes a day can have a transforming effect.

When I worked in NYC and juggled the craziness of corporate life, I learned just how conditioned we've become and how my coworkers and I got rewarded for working inhuman hours.  I believe this type of pattern has impacted many in modern day society and think that this can have a detrimental affect on the mind and body.

James Schwartz, BCH, is a Board Certified Hypnotherapist, an NLP practitioner, and the author of The Mind-Body Fertility Connection. He is certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists and a member of the Colorado Association of Psychotherapists. James is the founder and director of the Rocky Mountain Hypnotherapy Center in Lakewood, Colorado, and is certified in Complementary Medical Hypnosis, NeuroLinguistic Programming and HypnoBirthing®.

James has been practicing hypnosis since 2003. Through his extensive work with infertility clients, James created and developed the Hypnosis to Promote Fertility program which focuses on healing the mental and emotional barriers that can often prevent conception.  This work led to his book, The Mind Body Fertility Connection®, which was endorsed by leaders in the fields of acupuncture, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and Maya massage

James’ latest book,One Voice, Sacred Wisdom(released in June of 2017), is a groundbreaking exploration into the communications we are receiving from other realms.  Through the use of hypnosis, James was able to gather information about life, death, the afterlife, karma, parallel planes, healing and why we exist on this planet from clients who were communicating directly with their guides.
