CCI CoCounseling has been thriving for over 35 years because it is one of the few places we can access our emotions in a positive way. In our society, we learn to stuff our emotions. In CoCounseling, we learn to release those emotions leading to substantial changes in old patterns that continually limit us. CoCounseling focuses on celebrating the self and opens us to a more conscious aware way of living.

Founded in 1992, the Connecticut Institute of Herbal Studies focuses on Traditional Chinese Medicine and offers a Nationally Certified Herbology Program with a foundation in both theory and clinical diagnosis as practiced in China today. Traditional Chinese Medicine has been practiced for over 4000 years. It employs a highly developed theoretical system which determines the appropriate application of herbs based on an individual's unique symptoms and not just on a named disease. In this way, TCM treats the causes of disease and not just the disease itself. All natural practitioners, from massage therapists and aromatherapists to doctors and nurses, can benefit from incorporating this holistic perspective of the human energetic systems into their modalities. CIHS is an approved provider for the NCBTMB for Massage Therapists and for the CT Chiropractic Association. Clinical Aromatherapy, international lecturers on Chinese Herbs, and University level professors provide advanced training in the art and science of plant medicines and TCM. Annual Cultural Trips to China have been arranged each November for 14 years and provide training in Tuina, Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine as well as offering adventurers a trip that is flexible, rewarding, and personal.

Typical methods of discipline usually do not work with intense & challenging children. Despite the best of intentions, these methods often fail because they inadvertently reward negative behavior. Through training of The Nurtured Heart Approach, we learn positive ways to channel the intense life force that these children own. The method does not single out the child in the home or in the classroom, creating an environment that helps all children to flourish by shining the light of greatness & success on our children, using present moment, clear, specific, and meaningful ways to nurture inner wealth.
