A Physician’s Experience with Mental Health and Holistic Healing ~ Guest, Dr. Kenneth James

 

Let's Talk Wellness - with Host, Mara James

What is it like to have a loved one receive a mental health diagnosis?  This week, Mara welcomes her husband, Dr. Kenneth James to the show to talk about some of his experiences having mental health diagnosis in his family.

Dr. Kenneth James is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist practicing in Orange County, California. He has been in private practice since 1998. He comes from a proud family of OBGYN’s being the fourth of seven (his father is the first and his son is the 7th). Dr. James started a collaborative physician-midwifery program over 5 years ago and now his vision is being modeled by multiple medical groups and several hospitals all over the county. His alternative practice style combined with his outlook to the future of medicine has made him a leader in the field.

His involvement in mental health, beyond his training in medical school and dealing with patient’s highs and lows of their lives, peaked when his wife experienced a significant manic episode. He was guided to use both traditional medicine and holistic healing therapies to aid his wife in her recovery,  Inspired by his wife’s experiences on her incredible healing journey, Dr. James was able to heal his own mental health issue of severe bouts of anxiety.  By way of hypnotherapy with a HUGS healer, he experienced immediate and profound results and has been free from anxiety from that moment on.  His life forever changed and he became a true believer in alternative healing.

Dr. James proudly supported his wife in bringing the inspiration of her personal experience to the world with the creation of the Extraordinary Lives Foundation and the HUGS for Life Healing Center.  Both ventures are aimed at early education, management and treatment options for multiple mental health challenges using both  traditional and alternative healing options.
