Peggy Huddleston's
Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster Workshop^(TM)

In this two-day training, Peggy Huddleston shows you how to give a one-hour workshop for people facing surgery or to lessen the side effects of chemotherapy and reduce chronic pain. The program is based on her book, Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster and its companion Relaxation/Healing CD.

Research shows that Huddleston's method of preparing for surgery helps people feel profoundly peaceful before surgery, use 23-50% less pain medication and heal remarkably faster.

In addition you'll learn how to implement this Pre-Surgical Program in a private practice and in a hospital setting. It can also be offered by Human Resources as an employee benefit by requesting that the insurance provider include it as a covered benefit.

Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster Workshops are recommended in hospitals across the US including, Brigham and Women's Hospital (a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital), NYU Medical Center in New York, Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, Hartford Hospital and Greenwich Hospital in Connecticut and Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center in Santa Clara, California.

Her ground-breaking clinical work and writing focus on the ways positive emotions and the human spirit enhance healing. A study at the New England Baptist Hospital, a Tufts University School of Medicine teaching hospital, with 44 patients having total knee-joint replacement documented that patients using her Pre-Surgical Program were calmer the day before surgery and left the hospital 1 1/3 days sooner than the control group. Benjamin E. Bierbaum, MD, an orthopedic surgeon, was a Principal Investigator.
