Dr. Sam Berne

Taking a new path to wellness... together

Conventional eye care focuses on physical symptoms and treats the eyes as separate from the body and mind, but "vision" is how your eyes, brain and body work together. Your movement, attitudes and beliefs, posture, and energy field patterns significantly influence both how you see and react to life situations.

Dr. Sam Berne has developed a holistic approach to eye therapy that gives you tools to create your own new vision. For more than 25 years, Dr. Berne has customized vision therapies for his private practice patients. Most are successful at re-educating their eyes, brain, and body to work together with more harmony - and greater vision has emerged!

Go beyond a mechanistic set of eye exercises to daily practices for improving mind-body integration and balancing your health and vision. These include vision therapy, movement and vestibular stimulation, color therapy, craniosacral therapy, nutrition, and medicinal plant/tree essences.

When your vision is relaxed, you see with an integrated brain and respond to life in a balanced and harmonious way.

News in view

The Berne Method has helped many children with a variety of learning, behavior, and developmental challenges. One of the key factors that affects these children is their birth experience. Recently, I read an article published in The Sun Magazine titled: "Oh Baby: Ina May Gaskin On The Medicalization Of Birth: . Ms. Gaskin practices at the Farm Midwifery Center in southern Tennessee. In the article, she discusses the increase in C-section and Breech Birth deliveries and the overall pros and cons between hospital birth versus home birth. As a Craniosacral therapist, I have treated many school-aged children with C-section and Breech births. The shock and trauma energetic imprints I have measured using my EPC camera has taught me the importance of administering this therapy to lessen the effects of these imprints. I applaud Ms. Gaskin for her pioneering work. Her full interview appears in the January 2012 Sun Magazine.
