Distance Mind Body Integration℠
(DMBI)℠)

A guided somatic meditation based on the ancient understanding that “qi follows the mind” – with the ability to reduce physical and emotional pain, as well as create a greater flow to support people in living into
who they know themselves to be.

You’re not Making it up

You’ve done all the things to “stay healthy” – eating right, sleeping, getting exercise, taking time off…

Or…

You have worked with a great therapist, discovered creative outlets, learned to tell a bigger story…

And… still, your mind and your body seem to be at odds. Something is still not right.

This is where DMBI℠ Comes in

The first thing to understand is that, in the medicine I practice, the “mind” does not reside in your head, it lives in your heart. Your brain is a very valuable, high-paid legal counsel, that should never be running the show.

The second thing is that your body is very wise and faithful. Whenever you experience something that you just can’t ingest, reconcile, or make part of who we are, your body agrees to sock it away for safekeeping. Unfortunately, when that happens too often, the closet doors fall open and out come aches, pains, latent diseases, and other ick.

Our work together will be to get your heart back in charge and remind your body that it can let go and relax.

How Does It Work?

Check out the supporting research here

A woman sitting cross-legged on a bed with black and white covers, holding a cell phone in her left hand with her right palm gesturing as she faces an open laptop. She has curly hair and is wearing black-rimmed glasses. She is wearing a light jean shirt over a white t-shirt and blue jeans.

Each live video session includes:

Review of your history (either from the form at the first session, or what’s happened since your last session).
I will ask a variety of follow up questions. Some may be factual in nature, while others may be experiential. Examples of the latter may include:

“What happened right before you experienced ‘x symptom’?”
“What happened in your body when ‘y’ was going on?”
“What do you notice in your body right now?”

From your responses and your delivery, I will then assess possible blockages in your emotional, mental, and physical body. They are, in fact, all one thing – just different layers of density.
I will then lead you in a guided somatic meditation. There will definitely be “audience participation” during the session.

There may also be homework.

This may include anything from a physical exercise to a soup recipe, an embodied practice to “go see a funny movie”. All are designed to equip you with tools to look after yourself going forward.

What to Expect

Prior to your first full session:

You will fill out a detailed history form, providing me with important information about how you got to this point in your life and in your body. You may tell me as much or as little as you want.

My major interest lies in how you are carrying it in your body and the nature of the stories you are telling yourself. We will then set up a series of live video sessions.

My goal is to empower you to tend yourself.

Not be dependent on me. I’m just the pit crew. All of our work together will be based on one or more of the following:

Frequently asked questions

Not seeing your question here?

Drop me a message on the Contact page and I’ll respond to you directly, and add it here, de-identified, of course.

Can this really work online?

Yes. Since DMBI℠ is based on the ancient understanding that qi (energy) followed the mind (attention), you will be the one affecting any changes. I will simply be guiding you to do so in ways you may have not explored before.

Do I have to keep doing it indefiinitely?

That is up to you. Because you will be doing the work yourself, you will be able to return to the practice of it and creatively riff off of it to release any blockages on your own. That being said, many people find value in having regular weekly, monthly, or quarterly ” DMBI℠ tune-ups” to provide maintenance support.

Can It Help With Physical Stuff too?

It can. People have experienced a drastic decrease in migraines and headaches, relief from arm, neck, and back pain, calming of digestive issues, deeper sleep, etc. The division between our bodies, minds, and spirits is artificial. So, reintegrating ourselves, through DMBI℠, can bring an ease in all levels of who we are.

Does this conflict with my religious beliefs?

Only you can answer that question. However, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Pagans, Atheists, and others have all benefited from DMBI℠. Most faiths and philosophies accept the idea that we are individualized creations of life and that integrating our consciousness with the rest of us is beneficial to living a happier, healthier existence in service to the greater good. I am happy to discuss this with you if you have any further questions about this.

Is there science that backs this up?

Yes! Please check out the DMBI℠ Supporting Research page on this website. We continue to update it from time to time.

Does this work for groups too?

Yes. Please check out the DMBI For Groups page for more information.

What Others are saying about DMBI℠

Stephanie Kunkel, M.Sc.

“In today’s world we spend a lot of time in our brains and it can be hard to pay attention to our bodies. Janice’s amazing Distance Mind Body Integration sessions help patients through pain, brain fog and more… It’s not just one session or treatment.. there’s a long lasting effect that almost seems to re-pattern the brain to make positive changes even after the fact.“

Anna Addoms

“I have been experiencing chronic, severe migraines for 23 years and nothing has really helped with my pain – either prevention or acute pain management. I saw Janice for a DMBI session while experiencing a migraine with a pain level of 6. By the end of our 1 hour session, not only did I not have a migraine anymore, my brain fog was gone, and I had energy and an appetite. All of this without any medication!

I continued to feel fantastic. Despite major outside factors that would usually trigger a pain episode, I have been 2 weeks without pain. This experience with Janice is a game changer and I cannot recommend working with her enough.

Go book a session with her and see for yourself!”

[UPDATE: August 2023-present Still no migraines!]

MAtt Schultz

“There is a degree of ableism in my approach to facilitation that I’ve recently become aware of. I use many Theatre of the Oppressed techniques to get people on their feet and interacting with others to collectively express and create solutions to issues in their lives. However, not everyone can get on their feet.

At the same time, working with Dr. Campbell has been making me more aware of how we express and hold so much of our experiences and emotions in our bodies…learning body awareness with Janice allows me to further develop the Theatre of the Oppressed work in new and more inclusive ways of embodiment.”

Meghan P. Murray, M.Ed.

“I have been getting Distance Mindy Body Integration℠ (DMBI℠) for a year. She has helped me tremendously dealing with many different challenges. For example, Dr. Janice had me identify where my body holds tension and how to let go of it. She is very knowledgeable and experienced. I appreciate Dr. Janice’s insights and meditation style. Highly recommend!”
