Mindfulness to embrace your inner-potential.
Mental health is a journey
Life is difficult. STRESS, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, and ANGER are only some of the emotions we face when confronted with life's challenges. When we travel the road with an experienced traveler, we will arrive at our destination faster. With over 45 combined years of experience, IMI has extensive experience in working through emotional challenges. From counseling to coaching, we are here to work with you side-by-side.
About
Jai & Monte McPheron
"As a husband and wife team, we started IMI because of a strong passion for helping people overcome mental health trauma and create a better world. You can connect with us and our journey in helping to evolve our culture through podcasts, music, education, workshops and virtual sessions"
If you are seeking to evolve your state of being, contact us. We would love to be part of your journey.
Life coaching versus therapy
With IMI, you can chose both. Jai is a certified professional yoga therapist and a life coach. Monte is a professional mental health therapist and Tai Chi Instructor who works extensively with meditation and mindfulness based techniques.
"Therapy helps you do a deep dive into your psyche and reconnect the dots of who you are. Life coaching helps you take on external challenges and become the version of yourself you know you have the potential to be."
Stephanie Hairston, Open Counseling
Trauma
According to Trauma-Informed Care, trauma "results from exposure to an incident or series of events that are emotionally disturbing or life-threatening with lasting adverse effects on the individual’s functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, and/or spiritual well-being."
IMI works with mindfulness practices to elevate subconscious thoughts to help overcome some of the adverse effects that trauma has on our lives. We all experience trauma in different ways. Working to live mindfully can provide a peace of mind and personal confidence.
IMI also works with veterans and the unique challenges they face. Mindfulness and meditation based activities are used extensively through Department of Veterans Affairs programs.
“Veterans suffering from PTSD find that mindfulness-based stress reduction reduces the severity of PTSD symptoms.”
