In this week's episode, we explore ENERGY HEALING as an alternative treatment that can be used to relieve anxiety among kids with ADHD. It is more popular for dealing with health issues, but is gaining traction in mental health. This is because energy healing is intended to induce relaxation and disconnection from many sources of fears.  You can learn more about energy healing and find a practitioner here.

We invited an advocate and expert on this subject, Dr. Cynthia Higgins, who will share with us her personal journey on how she discovered energy therapy and her realization that it is an extension of science in the healing process, rather than a competition or a replacement.

Dr. Cynthia Higgins is an Integrative Psychiatrist, Motivational Speaker, and Practitioner of Energy Psychology. Drawing upon her 20 years of experience as a physician and principals of Energy Psychology, Dr Higgins possesses a number of eclectic skills. Whether she is serving as an integrative psychiatrist, meditation teacher or entrepreneur, her overall goal is to help others bring clarity to challenging experiences to promote strength and resiliency.  Learn more about Dr. Higgins on her website here or schedule and appointment with her at her office in Sarasota, Florida by calling 941-378-9959.  Her candles and sprays can be purchased on Etsy through her shop Work of Angles.
