“Swift, effective and simple techniques that anyone can use anytime.”
               Paul J. Rosch, MD, F.A.C.P. President, The American Institute of Stress

"This is it! Streamlined, easy to learn, rapid results and totally effective against daily stress build-up. Robert's work is really cutting edge. We are lucky to have him here in the Pacific Northwest."
               Tamela Thomas, Wellness Manager, Washington Athletic Club

“Participants raved about these techniques to eliminate stress damage, resulting in a groundswell demand for more classes. Our governmental organization is under increasing pressure to respond to growing & changing work demands with ever-decreasing staff resources. It makes sense to incorporate stress elimination techniques like Optimal Health Trainings into health care management strategy. Calm employees make better decisions & fewer mistakes.

”As a physician, I was intrigued with Robert Siegel’s approach given the problems stress causes for people’s health. It becomes clearer and clearer to me every day that the body’s reaction to chronic stress is the source of a lot of disease that we see.  While it’s not necessarily a simple equation of reducing the damage from stress and healing all illnesses, it is obvious that stress and the way we respond to it factors heavily into how we respond to infection, injury, tumors, and other assaults upon the body.

After an introductory learning session with our medical providers, we decided to have Robert come in to do one of his trainings with our staff.  Everyone had a great time and had good things to say about the experience.  Even though we just went through the first few steps of his program, the staff were able to experience right away the physical calming that comes with his simple techniques.  All of us have used them since, and occasionally remind each other to “belly breathe” when things get tough!

I highly recommend Robert’s techniques and approach to anyone who wants to have greater control over how they respond to stress, and it just plain feels good, too!”

Over the past 10 years, Robert Siegel has brought his talents, expertise, innovativeness and experience to the Washington Athletic Club in several ways. As a member of the WAC Speaker’s Bureau, Robert has spoken to many of the club’s Corporate Members about a variety of critical topics including; lowering medical costs, improving employee productivity, and the competitive advantages of “producing” health. His Optimal Health Trainings, both in private and group settings, have been extremely well received.

Robert brought his Optimal Health Lunchtime Lecture series to WAC employees and inspired our staff with his keen insight into the areas of stress reduction, presence of mind and energy health which led to a renewed energy and focus at the WAC. He is an outstanding presenter, who articulates topics filled with scientific data, Eastern philosophy and effective practices to handle current day challenges in an easily understandable way.

I highly recommend Robert.
