Genetic Psychology: A New Approach to Health, Healing & Wellness

Workshop Overview

Genetic Psychology is a field that explores how genetic makeup (DNA) can influence thoughts, behaviours, emotions, and overall mental health. 

It looks at how the patterns, experiences and information passed down through generations can affect how we think and act. Essentially, it’s the idea that our genes not only determine physical traits but can also play a role in shaping our psychological traits and experiences. 

The Genetic Psychology workshop explores the real root cause of all illnesses—whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual—by looking at how a deep disconnection in our genes might be responsible.  

The goal of the workshop is to explain the basics of Genetic Psychology and show how it can be applied in real life. This includes training a new generation of psychologists, counsellors, coaches, healers, and healthcare workers to better address the needs of the future. 

Is this workshop for you?

This workshop is for anyone who wants a better understanding of how a fundamental problem in our genetic makeup could be the underlying cause of an illness, whether it’s in the body, mind, emotions, or spirit. It suggests that when our genes are not in harmony or connected properly, it may lead to various health issues.
