Inspired by Peggy Huddleston's program

I trained with Peggy Huddleston, a psychotherapist whose program  Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster (a book & mp3) has helped many thousands facing surgery to shift from feeling anxious to feeling peaceful – a state proven to speed healing.  Her program has been recommended by Andrew Weil, MD; Mehmet C. Oz, MD; Christiane Northrup, MD; Larry Dossey, MD; Caroline Myss; PhD, Jean Watson, PhD, RN and other leaders in integrative medicine.  

Surgery Success builds on that program with more resources and tools to fully address your preparations as well as the recover and rehab process afterwards.
