Personal Mentoring, Life Coaching, and Health Counseling

In my many years of medical practice it’s become clear to me that each of us, irrespective of age or circumstance, passionately desires a life of health, happiness, and wholeness. I’ve discovered in my personal life and that of others that we can clarify, enhance, and more efficiently navigate the unfolding of such a larger life through skilled mentoring and guidance. That is the central teaching of all the great healing and spiritual traditions. Throughout time and across cultures individuals seeking an optimal and profound well being of body, mind, and spirit have relied on wise mentors to guide them along the path toward the fruition of this goal. It’s no different now than it’s been in times past.

In our time it is not easy to find a skillful mentor. We do not value this capacity in western culture. Our focus on self-reliance has ignored the reality that there are things we cannot do for our self. This is quite apparent when it comes to our education. None of us could learn to read or write without the help of others. Similarly, none of us would consider trying to build a bridge without the instruction, guidance, and mentoring of a skilled engineer. But when it comes to the most important task of life – creating a life of optimal health, happiness, and wholeness – we act as if we can do it alone without help from others. As a result we too often squander our time and energy on fruitless efforts. The realization that we require the help of a skilled mentor and the willingness to enter such a healing relationship is an important step towards attaining an optimal well being of body, mind, and spirit.

Dr. Elliott Dacher has an extensive background in the outer healing practices of western medicine and the inner healing practices mastered in the east. He is currently offering personalized mentoring, coaching, and counseling sessions to a small group of individuals. These personal interactions will focus on specific life and health issues with the broader aim of using these concerns as doorways to a larger life of health, happiness, and wholeness.

Your initial concerns may include:
• mental stress and distress
• chronic illness
• addictive disorders
• mind-body self regulation
• life transitions
• spiritual concerns and meditative practices
• promoting optimal health and human flourishing
• end of life issues

As partners we will use these important life experiences to gain new understandings and to apply specific practices that provide you with personalized tools to move forward towards a larger life and health.

Consultations can be conducted in person, by telephone, or through video conferencing. Our first 30 minute introductory discussion is complementary. This will allow both of us to determine whether we should move forward together in a mutual effort to attain the desired goal. If you would like to explore this next step in the unfolding evolution of your life this opportunity may be right for you. If so, please contact Dr. Dacher by to arrange for an introductory discussion..

Healing Holidays
Intensive Healing Retreats

There are times in each of our lives when it’s necessary to remove our self from day-to-day life in order to intensively focus on health, healing, and human flourishing. This may be at the time of a major life transition, sudden change in health, or at the urging of a persistent and insistent call from within urging you toward a larger life that is destined to unfold your deepest potential.

Your intensive retreat, lasting 3 -7 days, will consist of two individual mentoring sessions each day with Dr. Dacher and time to reflect, study, and engage in practices. The daily meetings will allow for a full evaluation of your needs, a tailored program that addresses your specific goals, ongoing feedback, and post-retreat follow-up sessions as needed. You will also have time to take part in a variety of rejuvenation services and enjoy the magnificent surroundings of your retreat. This is a very special opportunity to turn a new corner in your life.

Lodging and meals will be arranged according to your needs.
