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.

  How Do You Want To Be? - I help people make change.  Folks come because they are in pain.  They have habits, behaviors interfering in their life. Most often they come knowing what they don't want.  And 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 reactions 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.  Much of the work I do uses NLP, hypnosis and coaching and I sometimes blend other modalities as well with the consent of the client. 

The Focus - 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 are becoming.

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 otherwise you would not be here.  And a small handful of habits, beliefs, skills serve you less efficiently, less elegantly.  They are getting you some results and you know you can do better.

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.
