Using Integrative Therapies at the End of Life: Connecting through the LifespanSophia's Garden Foundation
As hospice patients approach the end of life there are several valuable life tasks to perform. The use of integrative therapies allows patients and families to perform these tasks and connect the past, present, and future to self, each other and their community. Therapies such as aromatherapy, relaxation skills, massage, Reiki, music, animal assisted activities, or art, provide comfort to patients and families as well as helping them to incorporate important cultural traditions during the end of life. Aromatherapy, massage, Reiki and relaxation skills help to relieve pain, alleviate anxiety, and treat side effects from medication. Through techniques such as music, art, animal assisted activities and guided imagery, patients are able to find meaning in life, share feelings with others and connect to life events.
This workshop will give participants a clear understanding of how integrative therapies may be used at the end of life and the rationale for using specific methods. Case studies of an actual hospice patient, and her use of integrative therapies, will demonstrate the profound effect these techniques can have on patients and families, while on hospice. Case study include a 2 ½ year old pediatric patient with Niemann-Pick Disease, Type A. Finally, a template will be provided to help participants develop and implement their own Integrative Therapies Program.
When we ask ourselves why does God make us go through difficult times, we don’t realize the what/where these events may bring us. Only He knows and he will not let us fall. We don’t need to settle for the raw ingredients, trust in Him... And see something fantastic come about!
Everything in life is like any other thing by alone, but with the proper equation it gives a splendid output. Life is also mixture of all emotions,feelings,fluctuations,pros & cons..... :)

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
