Dr Scott has twenty years experience as a certified Biofeedback Therapist, Certified Holistic Health Alternative Science Specialist and a Certified Orthomolecular Dietary Therapist.

Dr. Scott has spent over twenty years studying the mind/body/self connection in health and healing. She has worked extensively with Dr. Robert Gerard on the DNA healing Project and numerous great masters in alternative healing and self mastery. She teaches workshops and on going classes in self mastery and Yoga therapy. She has also taught internationally Yoga Therapy mind/body self healing. She is on the faculty at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry, Oral facial Pain Clinic where she teaches students biofeedback and cognitive behavioral techniques in the treatment of chronic pain. Her most recent interest has been the study of left right brain wave re-balancing for pain control through the use of biofeedback EEG (brainwave Training). Through many years of research and learning the intricate details of the mind body self connection, and the study of yoga, Dr. Scott has developed techniques through breath, movement and cognitive behavioral restructuring that have shown good results. Her interests lie in studying the effects of the left-right brain wave re-balancing technique in pain control working with Dr. Bunker on the SPECT and PET imaging, how it truly effects the pain receptor sites and with Dr. Stemmer on the psychological aspects of pain. If we could learn self mastery over our body experiences could we be in charge of our pain and create a healthy body? Finding that inner peace and homeostasis is what all human beings ultimately crave, weather it is work, relationships or health.
