Bruce H. Lipton, PhD is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Stem cell biologist, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief and recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, he has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national and international conferences.
Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist. He received his Ph.D. Degree from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville before joining the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine in 1973. Dr. Lipton’s research on muscular dystrophy, studies employing cloned human stem cells, focused upon the molecular mechanisms controlling cell behavior. An experimental tissue transplantation technique developed by Dr. Lipton and colleague Dr. Ed Schultz and published in the journal Science was subsequently employed as a novel form of human genetic engineering.
In 1982, Dr. Lipton began examining the principles of quantum physics and how they might be integrated into his understanding of the cell’s information processing systems. He produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cell’s equivalent of a brain. His research at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the environment, operating though the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. His discoveries, which ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by the genes, presaged one of today’s most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics. Two major scientific publications derived from these studies defined the molecular pathways connecting the mind and body. Many subsequent papers by other researchers have since validated his concepts and ideas.
Dr. Lipton’s novel scientific approach transformed his personal life as well. His deepened understanding of cell biology highlighted the mechanisms by which the mind controls bodily functions, and implied the existence of an immortal spirit. He applied this science to his personal biology, and discovered that his physical well-being improved, and the quality and character of his daily life was greatly enhanced.
Dr. Lipton has taken his award-winning medical school lectures to the public and is currently a sought after keynote speaker and workshop presenter. He lectures to conventional and complementary medical professionals and lay audiences about leading-edge science and how it dovetails with mind-body medicine and spiritual principles. He has been heartened by anecdotal reports from hundreds of former audience members who have improved their spiritual, physical and mental well being by applying the principles he discusses in his lectures. He is regarded as one of the leading voices of the new biology.

Parenting is tough, but it isn’t complicated. From tantrums to texting, the secret of happy parenting is a close relationship with your child. Thousands of research studies over the past four decades show us exactly what kids need to turn out great:
Love (nurturing, respect, empathy, cherishing)
and
High -- but age-appropriate -- expectations.
As both a mom and a Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Laura Markham sounds two clear themes in her advice to parents. The first is that when we feel good, we're better parents. Quite simply, we can only give what we have inside. That's why her daily parenting inspiration emails are about how to take better care of ourselves and manage our own emotions.
Her other theme is that parenting effectively always depends on our connection to our kids. Without that connection, we have little influence ("My kids won't listen!") and, frankly, parenting becomes an exhausting, thankless task.
Deepening our connection with our kids and keeping it strong as they grow is the work of parenting. Of course kids need guidance, but that only sticks if the connection is there to support our teaching.

I founded Coaching from Spirit in 1997 when my daughter Joy was born. It is a powerful story that Jack Canfield asked me to write about in his book “Mastering the Law of Attraction”. My chapter is called A Leap of Faith and that really sums up Coaching from Spirit and what we do. We support you to take a leap of faith and allow yourself to have the life and work of your dreams!
I have coached thousand of people in programs and as individual clients to live an empowered life and work. All of our programs are based on the system I was given when I was having a dark night of the soul in 1995. I really was not even sure I wanted to stay on this planet and had a very powerful, some may say mystical experience. On that fateful night I connected to a knowing that we are all ONE. Maybe that sounds cliche nonetheless it is true. No matter what your religion is, there is an energy that connects us all and when we really REMEMBER that we will transform not only our live and our business, our careers .. but also the world. I know that is a tall order! But I am here to tell you. You CAN live an empowered life. How? Having a community that can support you is helpful. Having a system that helps you to manage your emotional energy and leverages universal law of attraction is needed. Having ways to be effective in marketing and selling if you have a business can move you in quantum ways to more flow and ease too.
