Specialties
Get rapid relief today while you build deep, durable resilience for tomorrow. Dr. Miller’s goal is to help you succeed physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually using deep relaxation, guided imagery, self-hypnosis, meditation, EMDR-style techniques, and practical life coaching.
Common goals include:
1) Calming stress, anxiety, and overwhelm in a world of constant uncertainty and information overload
2) Sleeping deeply again, even if you’ve tried “everything” for insomnia
3) Reducing pain and physical symptoms influenced by tension and past trauma
4) Healing early emotional wounds that still shape your reactions and relationships
5) Ending negative patterns—worrying, procrastination, addictions, anger outbursts, and self-doubt
6) Reclaiming creativity, motivation, and joy after burnout or life transitions
Each session is highly individualized; Dr. Miller listens carefully, helps you clarify your intention, and then guides you into a deeply relaxed, focused state where real change can occur. You then use your personalized audio between visits, turning each day into active “retraining time” for your brain and nervous system.
This is ideal if you:
A) Are ready to take responsibility and actively participate in your healing
B) Prefer a holistic, evidence-informed approach over quick fixes
C) Value working directly with an experienced physician and pioneer in mind–body medicine
History
Established in 1970.
Emmett Miller, MD, has been a pioneer and recognized founder of modern Mind–Body Medicine. In the early 1970s, his book Selective Awareness introduced physicians and psychologists to a more holistic way of understanding illness and healing, moving beyond the old “body as machine” model. Through his career, Dr. Miller has shown how imbalances in the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and behavioral levels are interconnected—and how restoring balance (homeostasis) in the whole person promotes healing. He developed and popularized Guided Imagery by integrating meditation, hypnosis, prayer, and autosuggestion into practical tools that patients could use at home. His recordings, books, and trainings have influenced therapists, physicians, and coaches worldwide. Today, he continues this work by seeing patients and coaching clients in his Nevada City office, as well as securely by phone and online (Zoom or FaceTime), serving people across the country and around the world.
