Dr. Ian Mussman, N.D.

Dr. Ian Mussman graduated from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1986. He uses natural remedies to eliminate the imbalances in the body that manifest as physical symptoms of disease or discomfort. The remedies he employs vary from homeopathics to herbal supplements to patient-specific diets and exercise and even into the realm of deeper examination of the beliefs we hold and how those beliefs may be affecting our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

“Just as our physical lifestyles affect our bodies and well-being, so do our mental, emotional and spiritual lifestyles. If we limit our investigation into our physical well-being to purely physical factors, we will likely miss the larger influence of these other parts of our psyche and lifestyle. My goal with every patient is not to simply relieve their symptoms – it is to expand their consciousness through a greater awareness of themselves, their beliefs, and their purpose in this life, and to help them reach an understanding of how they can come into alignment on all four of these levels.”

“Such an expansion in consciousness goes way beyond physical symptoms – it affects people at their core, at the level of happiness, peace, and fulfillment that they feel on a daily basis. That is true health.”

In addition to these traditional Naturopathic methods, Dr. Mussman uses a new technology, Digital Biofeedback Resonance Testing - a means of detecting electrical disturbances in the body that occur before illness manifests. By locating these disturbances and identifying the environmental factors and internal blockages that interfere with the body's ability to heal, Dr. Mussman is able to target the areas of imbalance. As the disturbances are eliminated from the body, the pathways to healing are opened.

Brandi Bennitt, M.A.

Brandi Bennitt is a graduate of UC Berkeley, holds a Master's in Organizational Psychology and is a Licensed Massage Therapist as well as a neurofeedback technician. She discovered neurofeedback in her search for a therapy that worked faster and more efficiently for impatient people (such as herself) who want to heal NOW. After her first few sessions of neurofeedback gave her a feeling of patience and well-being that she had never known previously, she largely abandoned her practice as a bodyworker to devote herself full-time to neurofeedback.
