Dr. Audrey Halpern’s Vision

From the inception of my neurology training at Yale, followed by my subspecialty training in headache at Jefferson headache center, I gained a deeper understanding of how the brain and nervous system, the mind, and the body worked in harmony. One can throw the other out of whack, the harmonic system into chaos. I learned that in order to tame one, you must tame all. To truly heal the nervous system, you must address the mind and the body, and vice versa.

Early in life, I dreamed of becoming a doctor. Healing others is a part of my drive, my soul, my life’s work. My experiences in medical school solidified my core belief that the brain and the mind were one and solidified my feeling that this is where I could make a difference, where I could utilize my core strengths to help others.

With an openness to new possibilities, with an openness to new and cutting-edge therapies, and with many years of experience treating patients this has been reinforced. Many years of research have reinforced this as well.

There is a large body of evidence now, that neurological conditions can improve with a whole-health approach, utilizing a multifaceted approach including traditional medical therapies, but never ignoring Nervana’s Whole Health Approach.
