Background and Credentials

Keith began his study of the mind-body interface in 1971 with his introduction into transcendental meditation. In 1980, he began his training in Kriya yoga, an active-minded, breath-based yogic meditation. This work inspired Keith to study medicine, and he went on to become a psychiatrist. Keith worked in private practice for over 40 years, offering psychiatric care, integrated management of metabolic challenges, psychotherapy, nutritional therapies, mindfulness, auricular acupuncture, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Keith also holds a Masters of Divinity with an Interfaith focus. Keith has taught Kriya Yoga meditation privately for over 45 years. 

Inspiration for The Center for Human Holistics

The Center for Human Holistics was created to share Keith’s interdisciplinary view of wellness with others through guided self-reflection to improve mind, body and spirit. Keith’s holistic coaching focuses on behavioral changes and emotional awareness. The burnout coaching and prevention is for professionals that are overwhelmed by the stresses of their work and want to find balance in their life. Lastly, the yogic meditation work is based in the Kriya yoga lineage and can help you either learn or formalize your practice.

Today’s healthcare system sees the body as a machine, expecting predictive outcomes and standardized processes. This is not always optimal, as we are complex, multi-dimensional beings with a variety of needs. True holistic wellness relies upon working with the body, mind, and spirit as the integrated whole. Our physical, mental, and spiritual wellness exists on a spectrum that is fluid, rather than fixed. What works for one may not work for another. Coaching is an active and creative process. We utilize our curiosity and compassion to learn, adapt, reflect, and transform. Traditional medicine often leads to compartmentalizing and holistic coaching can help us to clarify, reconnect, and reintegrate within ourselves.
