Our Founder

Dorothy A. Martin-Neville, Ph.D.,DCEP,

LMFT, LPC, EMP

Dorothy is an international lecturer, teacher, author, psychotherapist, medical intuitive, and healer. In addition, she is an adjunct faculty member at the University of Connecticut Medical School, as well as, co-chair of the advisory board for the Frontier Medicine Grant funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Having had a private practice in psychotherapy for over 20 years, having taught at the graduate school level, and most recently as faculty at the University of Connecticut Medical School, Dorothy has also founded her own educational institution: The Institute of Healing Arts and Sciences, Inc.. IHAS offers a four-year Energy Medicine Practitioner Program and the school is approved by the Connecticut Commissioner of Higher Education. The purpose of the school is to train those interested in developing their healing skills in energy medicine while supporting each student in overcoming the obstacles that keep them from their truth and living their soul’s purpose.

Dorothy has combined her training in numerous modalities of alternative health care and psychotherapy to create her own method of treatment, The W.I.S.E. Method™ (Wholistic Integrative, Spiritual, Energy). Her research in the field has led her to being appointed co-chair of the advisory board committee of a $2 million FRONTIER MEDICINE GRANT from the National Institute of Health. In addition, Dorothy has personally been awarded a grant to research her own methodology in working with fibromyalgia patients. As a result of all the research needed, Dorothy has founded The Foundation for Energy Medicine Research, a non-profit research foundation.

In all that she does, Dorothy consistently shares her message of passion, joy, humor and faith as the necessary tools for living. Her life purpose is to bring back the awareness of spirituality and unconditional love. Energy medicine is the venue she has chosen to teach the power of unconditional love. Dorothy, a compelling, faith-filled woman is an inspiration in living.
