In her clinical work Dr. Vora has found time and again that the symptoms of anxiety can often be traced to imbalances in the body. The emotional and physical discomfort we experience sleeplessness brain fog stomach pain jitters is a result of the body's stress response.

Once the body's needs are addressed Dr. Vora reframes any remaining symptoms not as a disorder but rather as an urgent plea from within. This true anxiety is a signal that something else is out of balance in our lives in our relationships in the world.
