About

Integrative Mindworks, created by April Rubino, is a unique collection of holistic counseling and hypnotherapy (deep relaxation, guided visualization and therapeutic dialogue), yoga therapy (mindful movement, breathwork and meditation), energy therapies (EFT, Reiki, Biovalent Systems, Light Body), and practical teachings for mind and body to apply at home.

What is 'Mindworks'? Mindworks is any practice that guides you to focus within yourself with the intent of changing some aspect of your life. Mindworks then helps you relax your resistance to achieving that intention. Mindworks builds a bridge between your conscious mind and your deeper, creative mind, thus providing the means for you to break through your current limitations, be they physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, and develop new habits that support the life you want.

Why this mix? Everyone is unique in their way of learning and perceiving. The diversity of approaches in Integrative Mindworks gives virtually everyone a method of learning and changing that best suits them. And all of these methods enable you to work more directly with your deeper, or subconscious, mind.

Why is the subconscious mind important? You might say that our mind is multidimensional. What psychology terms the 'conscious mind' is the rational, linear, critical part of our mental body. It is not well developed until around age 11 and exerts far less control over our lives than the various levels of the 'subconscious mind'. The highest level of the subconscious mind might be more accurately termed the 'Superconscious', as it is the source of creativity, inspiration, intuition and unconditional love. The 'Bodymind' contains the intelligence geared toward survival. It rules the autonomic nervous system that serves as the master controller for our body's functions and governs our 'gut' reactions and physiological responses to perceived events. The Bodymind also houses habits, emotions, memories, and early childhood programming about who we are and how the world works.

Because of this early programming our subconscious mind tends to retain many false core beliefs and unfounded fears. As we mature, these faulty ideas stop us from realizing our full potential, creating a pattern of self-sabotage carried out below our ‘radar screen’. We see it when stored trauma and repressed emotions show up as disease. We see it when childhood coping behaviors interfere with our lives as adults.

Fortunately, you can change the ideas and feelings you hold as well as the habits you maintain, using Mindworks. You can also access your own profound personal wisdom or "higher knowing" with these processes that guide you to fulfill your highest potential.

Whether you do private sessions, participate in group processes, listen regularly to personally tailored audio recordings, or learn to practice self-hypnosis and EFT, you can create the life you’ve dreamed of.

How long will this take? You will often get surprisingly rapid results on a particular issue, perhaps within 1 to 6 sessions, IF YOU ARE READY TO BE DIFFERENT. It is important to note that your results are gained as you are able to let go of the old and embrace the new. The timetable of that process is not "force-able"; it is a very individual thing and comes about in its own time. However, you can trust that once you have committed yourself to achieving personal transformation, it WILL occur.

I offer individual phone or face-to-face appointments as well as audio recordings and group trainings to help you achieve the desired outcome for any issue you’re addressing. If you'd like to schedule a private session, refer to the 'Contact Us' page and call or e-mail me to set up a time. For upcoming group trainings, see the 'Workshops & Classes' page.
