What is Health Realization?
Health Realization is a philosophy that has been identified as a best practice for resilience and strength based programing. When used as a foundation for bringing mental well-being to organizations, individuals, families, and comunities, the princiles of this model transform resilience from a good idea to an achievable reality.
This asset or strength based modality is based on the premise of innate health and resilience as an unlimited, ever present, natural resource to all human beings. As people connect with this natural resource and live in a higher state of well being, they are able to care and serve others, as well as themselves with more common sense, compassion and understanding. This results in more natural and deeper connections in our personal and professional relationships. Through this understanding people are able to better direct other's to their internal guidance system to navigate their way through life with greater ease. People are able to rise above their life circumstances.
Benefits for individuals
This Understanding is a gift for anyone who feels stressed, overwhelmed, too busy, or desires a more manageable, joyful and meaningful life. People learn how to maintain their peace of mind regardless of what is happening in their lives. It gives them the tools to stay grounded in challenging times and live life with greater presence, which in turn allows us to experience improved relationships. People consistently report less worry, anxiety, and job burnout and experience an increase of personal effectiveness, creativity and improved physical health.
Benefits to organizations and managers
When people understand this framework they create healthier professional relationships and work environments. They transition through change with more ease. In these times when we are asked to do more with les, employees manage the workload with improved quality and less co-miseration . Service oriented organizations notice a direct corelation between the health of the helper and the impact on clients and outcomes.
Health Realization offers a "best practice" to deal with customer service , diversity, conflict resolution and other employee issues. It provides a common neutral language that can be used throughout the organization. As employees feel empowered, relationships and team work improve. They become more creative and operate in a "state of service." When we enjoy coming to work, there is an increase in productivity and potential cost savings for the organization through a decrease in turnover rates, staff efficiency, benefit costs and liability. There is a natural decrease in the demands on the managers and supervisors by employees and the organization.

Health Realization has shown me that I have the power to create my reality. It reminds me of how Dorothy had the power to go home all along, but she didn't know her shoes were magical. I now know that I manifest all my desires, both on a large and small scale. Even when faced with devastating challenges, I can be optimistic and rebuild a life that is better than what I had before!
Megan Hartnett
After hearing from some of my respected colleagues about the potential benefits of Health Realization, I decided to make a commitment for the first level. In the beginning I was a bit skeptical as it was hard for me to get past my concrete background and in-the-box thinking. Here I am Eleven years later and I value Health Realization and Cindi's teaching style above and beyond ANY academic, personal or professional development that I have experienced. It has given me insights into my innate core and has made me a more grounded, patient, and insightful person. If you are open to making yourself the best you can be, take the plunge- you won't be sorry.
Ann Coates, Health Realized, Eden Prairie Schools
Knowing about Health Realization has helped me to frame things differently in my life, so nothing seems as difficult as I used to think it was. Cindi models a calming prescence, which is how I'd like to be ( and feel much more than in the past). As a parent, it has helped me to respond in a way that's helpful, instead of exacerbating the situation with my own fear. Having my children learn about the model has helped us all have a common language, and it's amazing how much they "get it."
