Expand and melt.

Let go and achieve optimal health, transformation, personal growth, and healing for yourself and others. At the heart of this practice lies a distinctive feature – the profound ability to somaticize. In opening your heart, it creates a new kind of communication and catalyst for healing yourself, those connected to you, and the entire community.

This was a long awaited opportunity to learn and practice with Dr. Eliaz. His Open Heart Medicine healing and meditation approach has deeply informed my practice, my path, and my healing. Deep gratitude to Dr. Eliaz and his team for putting this together.
Corinne Saunders, MD

I was transported into a space where my body, heart, and soul were taken on a journey

This journey helped me realize that once the mind has the ability to quiet itself all we are left with is the knowing that we have power within us to heal physically, emotionally and energetically. Through his process, he made me realize that we do possess limitless love and compassion for our cells, our organs, and the systems that make up our magnificent body. Dr. Isaac has a very special gift and is the master who allowed that magic to happen!
