A book Review of Amy Lansky’s new book, Living in Synchrony.

By Vijay Vaishnav, MD (Hom), CCH

Dr. Heather Herington, a naturopath by training and profession, has incorporated her long association with very well-known psychiatrists and used her knowledge of the traditional and so-called alternative therapeutic systems, including yoga and homeopathy, to create a unique but effective path to healing the effects of emotional trauma.

She rejects the traditional conventional medical approach to the treatment of trauma, especially the pharmaceutical abuse of the body, and explores breathing techniques (pranayama), yogic asanas (postures) in addition to counselling and therapy. She also encourages her clients to also tell their story through the expressive arts - writing and visual arts, music and vocalization, movement and dance or acting. 

Health practitioners, patients and their family members would all find this book to be a very useful companion in the journey towards healing from emotional trauma.
