Mandria Healing and Integrated Awareness may be appropriate complements to conventional
medicine and other conventional therapies, but it is not a replacement for them.
If you have or believe you may have a medical condition, we recommend that you
first seek the advice of a qualified medical professional.The hands-on and movement processes, the guidance into expanded perceptual
states and the enhanced response capacities associated with our work
are learning experiences and not medical procedures. Mandria Healing and Integrated Awareness
use a
set of avocational and spiritual skills. Mark Fourman, Rachel Gakenheimer and all of
their assistants
are teachers and they do not intend to, nor do they practice or operate within
a medical model. The changes and personal growth that students encompass as a
result of their studies with us are initiated by the students
and are a result of the information and recognitions mirrored back to them by
their teachers.
Your decision to learn through our work should be made in
consultation with your conventional health care providers. We recommend that you
keep your primary health care provider and other providers informed about your
work with us, so that they can ensure you have a comprehensive
and inclusive treatment plan.
