Seal Bait – Your mind body and spirit connection

In 1991, Gordon founded the nonprofit Center for Mind-Body Medicine. The mission statement on its website reads,



The Center for Mind-Body Medicine is a non-profit, 501(c) (3), educational organization dedicated to reviving the spirit and transforming the practice of medicine. The Center is working to create a more effective, comprehensive and compassionate model of healthcare and health education. The Center’s model combines the precision of modern science with the wisdom of the world’s healing traditions, to help health professionals heal themselves, their patients and clients, and their communities.



The organization is going about this mission through several different educational programs, including the Professional Training Program in Mind-Body Medicine, where health professionals can learn to lead Mind-Body Skills Groups; Food as Medicine integrative nutrition training; and CancerGuides® training in integrative oncology. CMBM’s program, “Healing the Wounds of War,” an offshoot of the Professional Training Program in Mind-Body Medicine, is engaged in global trauma relief: CMBM faculty train health, mental health, and education professionals in war-torn and disaster-stricken areas in mind-body skills in a way that is designed to help them care for themselves and, in turn, better care for their patients. This has been extended to include clinicians and counsellors working with US veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and their families.
