Interests

Dr. Lichtenstein's main passions are homeopathy and psychoneuroimmunology (mind-body medicine). He has studied and trained in biofeedback, breathwork, meditation, yoga therapy, and energetic bodywork (craniosacral, orthobionomy, Thai yoga therapy and reflexology).

Philosophy

Like medicine, education is an "art," and Dr. Lichtenstein views education as a co-creation where everyone is a student in this journey of self-discovery. More than the accumulation and acquisition of facts, this process pertains to that territory we call the "self" and our relationship with the others and the world. It is Dr. Lichtenstein's deepest wish to facilitate a safe, respectful and supported environment where everyone feels invited to participate in active, playful and joyful discussion, learning and self-reflection.
