BELLERUTH NAPARSTEK, LISW, BCD, is a gifted writer, psychotherapist, teacher and guided imagery innovator, the creator of the popular, Time Warner Health Journeys guided imagery audio series—over 2 million copies sold; studied in over 40 clinical trials, with efficacy established for acute and posttraumatic stress, as well as several other health challenges.

A keynote speaker in high demand, Belleruth only provides this level of in-depth, extensive training for us, in this workshop. Her first book, Staying Well with Guided Imagery, is a widely used wellness primer. Her second, Your Sixth Sense, has been called one of the most thoughtful and sophisticated looks on intuition. Her newest book on imagery and posttraumatic stress, Invisible Heroes, won the Spirituality & Health Top 50 Books Award and was described by the authors of Courage to Heal, Ellen Bass and Laura Davis, as the most useful book for survivors to be published in the last decade.

As Prevention Magazine noted, she has been quietly creating an underground revolution among mainstream health bureaucracies by persuading institutions like the U.S. Veteran’s Administration, The American Red Cross, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, Glaxo, Roche, Amgen, and nearly 2000 hospitals, mental health centers, social service agencies, health spas and recovery centers to distribute her guided imagery CDs.

Her website, healthjourneys.com is a heavily visited mind-body-spirit resource center, providing searchable databases of cutting edge research, programs, practitioners and training, while distributing experiential audios, videos and software programs (800.800.8661). Belleruth’s warm, dynamic, entertaining and compelling teaching style has trained and inspired thousands to use her imagery techniques to unlock the healing powers of their minds and bodies, renew their spirit, and propel dramatic change.
