Get to know more about Reorganizational Healing & Living
Reorganizational Healing is an approach to transforming our experience of life circumstances and our bodies, including pain and disease, into opportunities to go beyond our baseline level of health, functionality and well-being by giving you the tools to create a map “to self-assess and draw on strengths to create sustainable change.
Instead of being meaningless, people’s problems become diseases of meaning…helping them become stronger, to live more fully and with more understanding.
Through Reorganizational Healing, you can understand your individual formula, refashion it and choose a path through which your health and living can evolve.
Dr. Suzanne is now including FREE workshops in her calendar so that YOU can get it. You are partaking in a life changing paradigm. Expand the depth of your understanding and reap the benefits.
These workshops are recommended for:
-New patients (required within 2 months of joining the practice)

The Nature vs. Nurture debate has been part of the conversation around how generational changes occur for quite some time. Most experts speculate that there is a mix of both of these factors. While psychologists and other people studying behavior can lean on modeling as a mechanism for how changes occur through “nurture” finding biologic mechanisms for behavior to prove the “nature” side of the debate have been more challenging.
Recent research at The University of Zurich is reporting a newly found biological mechanism for how behavior is passed down through sperm. The study focuses specifically on how traumatic experiences make changes in the second and third generations of mice. They found that when mice are exposed to traumatic situations their offspring tend to demonstrate behaviors as if they, themselves, had been exposed to the trauma.
The mechanism for this occurs in a molecule called microRNA (sometimes called miRNA). microRNA are smaller RNA molecules that are transcripted from the DNA. They serve primarily in regulatory functions like controlling how many copies of a specific cell should be made.
Researchers found that when a mouse had been exposed to traumatic events the quantity and type of microRNA cells were altered from the population of mice that had not been traumatized. They found these altered microRNA primarily in the blood, brain and sperm. They also found metabolic variations in the second generation of the traumatized mice who had significantly lower blood sugar and insulin.
The researcher’s primary interest was to understand classifiable mental health issues but they did state they believed this was a mechanism that could prove to be in action outside of just mental disorders.
The field of Epigenetics has been popularized by Bruce Lipton in his book The Biology of Belief. Epigentics tells us that our genes are a blueprint for what may happen and that the way that we think, feel and believe has a significant impact on whether the gene that controls any single characteristic will actually express. The summary soundbite for epigenetics is “your life is not controlled by your genes.”
This adds an interesting twist to this epigenetic conversation. Fundamentally it is true, the way we think, feel and believe impacts the genetic expression and yet, it seems, that we are genetically predisposed to certain perspectives, behavioral characteristics and habits based on the way our parents (father in this case) decided to think, feel and behave.
Looking at this from a Reorganizational perspective is especially interesting. In Discover we see this “problem” as one more roadblock to stop us from experiencing happiness and success, in Transform we see it as one more roadblock to overcome and change into fuel to experience success and in Awaken, of course, we say we say “roadblock? What roadblock? All I see are gifts”
The amazing benefit of Reorganizational Healing and Living is that we have a framework to understand and transform these potentially damaging experiences. We know that we are responsible for the way we think and feel and that has a specific outcome in our lives, the lives of those around us and the lives of our children. But understanding this and having tools to consciously heal these possible traumas is critical.
Reorganizational Healing and Living provide opportunities for early detection and prevention of these traumas if they are lifestyle based. It also creates the opportunity to heal these traumas and allow the microRNA to resume normal function in the first, second or third generations. This has profound positive implications for overall health and wellness of a family, lineage and society.
It has been said by Donald Epstein, developer of the Reorganizational Healing model, that when someone heals the effects ripple through time to affect many parts and times of their life. This new research now shows us that when we are healing and helping others heal the beneficial effects may actually be rippling through generations.

The children of people who have experienced extremely traumatic events are more likely to develop mental health problems.
And new research shows this is because experiencing trauma leads to changes in the sperm.
These changes can cause a man’s children to develop bipolar disorder and are so strong they can even influence the man’s grandchildren.
Psychologists have long known that traumatic experiences can induce behavioural disorders that are passed down from one generation to the next.
However, they are only just beginning to understand how this happens.
Researchers at the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich now think they have come one step closer to understanding how the effects of traumas can be passed down the generations.
The researchers found that short RNA molecules – molecules that perform a wide range of vital roles in the body - are made from DNA by enzymes that read specific sections of the DNA and use them as template to produce corresponding RNAs.
Other enzymes then trim these RNAs into mature forms.
Cells naturally contain a large number of different short RNA molecules called microRNAs.
They have regulatory functions, such as controlling how many copies of a particular protein are made.
The researchers studied the number and kind of microRNAs expressed by adult mice exposed to traumatic conditions in early life and compared them with non-traumatised mice.
They discovered that traumatic stress alters the amount of several microRNAs in the blood, brain and sperm – while some microRNAs were produced in excess, others were lower than in the corresponding tissues or cells of control animals.
These alterations resulted in misregulation of cellular processes normally controlled by these microRNAs.
After traumatic experiences, the mice behaved markedly differently - they partly lost their natural aversion to open spaces and bright light and showed symptoms of depression.
These behavioural symptoms were also transferred to the next generation via sperm, even though the offspring were not exposed to any traumatic stress themselves.
The metabolisms of the offspring of stressed mice were also impaired - their insulin and blood sugar levels were lower than in the offspring of non-traumatised parents.
‘We were able to demonstrate for the first time that traumatic experiences affect metabolism in the long-term and that these changes are hereditary,’ said Professor Isabelle Mansuy.
‘With the imbalance in microRNAs in sperm, we have discovered a key factor through which trauma can be passed on.’
However, certain questions remain open, such as how the dysregulation in short RNAs comes about.
Professor Mansuy said: ‘Most likely, it is part of a chain of events that begins with the body producing too many stress hormones.’
Importantly, acquired traits other than those induced by trauma could also be inherited through similar mechanisms, the researcher suspects.
