Performance Wellness, Inc. offers the following services:
- Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic expressive therapy (both individual and group) for performers and others with stress-related disorders such as stage fright, addictions, and depression and anxiety associated with over-use injuries and mind-body illness (i.e. chronic pain, fatigue, asthma, eating disorders, etc). - Support groups
Recovery-oriented support groups for anxious, addicted, and injured performers and people with chronic illness. - The Performance Wellness (PW) Seminar - Stress Management for Performing Groups
The Performance WellnessSeminar, an integration of cutting-edge techniques from the disciplines of Music Therapy, Behavioral Medicine and Yoga Science, was developed by Dr. Louise Montello after fifteen years of research and clinical practice in working with professional musicians at New York University. This intensive experiential seminar assists performers in tapping the healing power of their own musical expression (a/k/a Essential Musical Intelligence) to work through creative blocks, anxiety, and self-destructive behaviors. In addition, the seminar offers specially-designed, clinically-tested stress management techniques to facilitate daily wellness and performance mastery. The PW seminar can be integrated into performers' EAP programs as an employee benefit. - Mind-Body Healing for Individuals With Stress-related Disorders/Chronic Illness
Every physical malady has an emotional component that can be explored and transformed through the depth-oriented Performance Wellness approach. After completing a series of mind-body health assessments, clients are alerted to possible underlying mental/emotional/postural causes of somatic symptoms. Next, they receive training using their Essential Musical Intelligence, along with a series of yoga-based techniques, as powerful tools for transforming stress "in-the-moment". In addition, clients are invited to participate in a number of transformational processes which assist them in uprooting and working through limiting beliefs, thoughts, memories, and emotions that jeopardize health, wholeness, prosperity, and mastery in life and in performance. - CEU's in Performance Wellness for Music Therapists
