This best-selling PW publication provides a systematic thirty-day practice plan for PW Trainees and others - to assist them in utilizing the PW and EMI techniques to permanently transform maladaptive behavioral patterns into new, more effective, healthier ones. Each week, a major PW topic is introduced. Readers are asked to practice specific wellness exercises and complete daily Home Practice Charts, rating their before/after stress levels. The Workbook also contains four Assessment scales for readers to rate themselves before and after embarking on the Four-Week Performance Wellness experience. Daily journaling is required each week to frame the transformational process.

"The Performance Wellness Workbook changed my life! A few days after completing the Level I Training, I began to practice the PW techniques daily and kept track of my progress with the Home Practice Chart and journaling. By the end of the first week, I had more energy; the second week, more confidence; the third week, I stopped smoking; and the fourth week, I sang at my first "Open Mike" and received a standing ovation. Thank you PW!" - Janice Simpko - executive, amateur jazz singer

The Three-Level Certificate Training Program in Performance Wellness is designed to offer performers, educators, life coaches, nurses, and therapists a deeper understanding of the implications of stress in performance, as well as practical tools for allowing the body-mind to become a resilient "instrument" in the face of stressful situations. The training is based on 15 years of clinical practice and research at NYU with performers with stress-related disorders. The uniqueness of this approach involves the activation of "Essential Musical Intelligence" - the innate ability to use music and sound as self-reflecting transformational tools to bypass the limitations of the conscious mind and move directly to the emotional brain centers where memories, feelings, and desires are stored and activated.

The EMI Self Transformation Program is comprised of two 5-day experiential training retreats, the first for Basic EMI training, and the second for Advanced EMI training. This intensive program follows the outline of Dr. Louise Montello's book, Essential Musical Intelligence: Using Music as Your Path to Healing, Creativity, and Radiant Wholeness, starting with the presentation of practical tools for learning how to use EMI to create radiant health in the body; followed by exploring EMI in balancing and harmonizing the breath/energy realm; followed by transforming the mental/emotional body through EMI; then awakening the imagination/intellect through EMI and tapping this realm to transform deep-rooted mind-body issues; next, achieving states of bliss through EMI; and finally working through unresolved childhood trauma with EMI.
