Sleep Matters
“For 25 years I have specialized in helping people sleep. Even the strength of your immune system is dependent on healthy sleep. My book Rewired for Sleep: the 28-Day Insomnia Repair Program, can help you achieve your peak health and get a good night’s rest.”
Daniel R. Bernstein, Sleep Specialist, Author.
I help people sleep. It’s what I do. It is a mission. Some twenty-five years ago it became clear to me that standard medicine can’t help you sleep. As a result, I studied different systems to see what can help you. Along the I used my training in acupuncture, Herbal medicinals, Guided Visualization and medical hypnosis, along tools from Functional Medicine to focus on sleep. The good news is that solutions exist. The protocols I use help the person who cannot get to sleep, stay asleep or a combination of the two.
Once the repair process is in full swing, I show the patient how to do “maintenance” on their own. This is important for those whose situation was chronic. Since maintenance is so crucial to continued success, I wrote “Rewired for Sleep: The 28-Day Insomnia Repair Program. The book is geared to the person looking to maintain a healthy relationship with sleep and explains many self-help methods a person can use. What is the bottom line? Insomnia, CAN be repaired naturally. Contact us now.
At Blue Phoenix Wellness We help People Sleep
If you are having problems sleeping due to anxiety, stress or for another reason, your nervous system may be stuck in what’s often called, “fight or flight mode”. Given all the stressors in our lives, it’s almost more surprising when people tell me they’re okay. If you’re experiencing unwanted side effects of stress–including insomnia– we’ll help you sleep again, naturally and on your own
At the Blue Phoenix Wellness, our goal is to help you sleep without resorting to drugs or uncomfortable “sleep studies”. The methods we use are safe, and have proven to be successful far longer than synthesized drugs. We use a mix of therapies culled from East and West. They may include acupuncture, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hormonal rebalancing, along with Functional Medicine. We also find that it is beneficial for you when we address secondary issues. One or more of the following is usually present with insomnia. Imagine no longer having to deal with:
- Pain: Neck, shoulder, back, leg—any pain that impedes a person’s sleep or wakes them up is fair game.
- Anxiety: Many people with insomnia also have anxiety. Acupuncture, herbs, and NLP all diminish it.
- Depression: Whether chronic or situational, depression is treatable using natural methods.
- Digestive Issues: Success with GERD, Acid Reflux, IBS, constipation and diarrhea.
- Stress: This under-treated modality can ignite heart problems; depression, and a great deal more.
However your insomnia shows up, don’t despair. As we repair one issue, others fall away as well, and you’ll be sleeping normally sooner than later. Curious about the book, Rewired for Sleep? Explore it here.
Hypnosis (and more)
AT HOME
Hypnosis using Zoom or FaceTime
For the last ten years I’ve used hypnosis with patients from around the world to help them create rapid, effective and long-term change.
Whether you have insomnia, anxiety or other issues, you can get treated for them in the comfort of your own home. This has two terrific advantages:
- You don’t have to be in NYC
- You don’t have to travel home after your treatment.
For those cases where acupuncture would normally be required, we will utilize the power of acupressure then cater the rest of the session to include an herbal prescription, deep breathing, meditation, nutritional guidance, or simply connecting in a supportive conversation.

Rewired for Sleep Online and in Print
Over the years that I have worked with patients struggling to get a good night’s rest, I have created a library of guided meditations, audio trance inductions and exercises to help patients learn to control their sleep. The techniques you will learn in Rewired for Sleep are built upon the sleep repair and enhancement wisdom of wise healers of both ancient and modern traditions from across the world.
The Rewired for Sleep program has been refined through my own practitioner experience over 25 years in NYC, the “nerve-center of America” in more ways than one, the city that famously never sleeps. For decades, my healing techniques have been helping impatient, stressed-out, living-it-large, medication-dependent, frequently traumatised and wide-awake New Yorkers switch off their mind chatter and find deep and peaceful sleep night after night.
And now, finally, I have brought all these resources together and published my book Rewired for Sleep: The 28-Day Insomnia Repair Program. To complement the book and make the process of repairing your insomnia easy and enjoyable, I have built a companion website at rewiredforsleep.com to help you to find your own way to a solution with a structured, online 28-Day program that gently guides you towards life-changing new habits, self-care skills and insights so that you can make insomnia a thing of the past.
