Mindful Physiology Institute s.reamer@bp.edu Sandra Reamer, M.F.A., C.S.T. is a uniquely talented and highly qualified artist, internationally known as a gifted painter and as a major player in the tradition of “Fantastic Realism.” A primary objective of her 25 years of dedicated professional work has been to reveal the practical significance of artistic expression in the contexts of healing, health, performance, and the study of consciousness. These efforts are now embodied in her work as a psychotherapist and as Executive Director of Mindful Physiology Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Ms. Reamer’s artwork appears in books, magazines, and manuscripts in the fields of poetry, art, culture, science, and technology, e.g., American Artist Magazine, Science & Mind, and Quest. Her public forum experience ranges from university teaching, e.g., University of Denver and Naropa University, to five years of TV and radio presentations and interviews in New York and in Europe. Experience in healthcare settings includes breathing training, cranial-sacral therapy, art as therapy, crisis intervention, reflexology, trauma counseling, naturopathy, yoga, martial arts, physical training and behavioral assessment. Ms. Reamer earned her Master’s Degree in Fine Arts from the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn (1997), New York, where she graduated Cum Laud in painting and graphic design. She earned her Bachelors degree in Art and Education (B.F.A) from the University of Denver (1991), graduating Cum Laud in painting and ceramics. She is a licensed to teach in pubic schools for grades K-12. Sandra completed training as a CranioSacral Therapist (Upledger Training) at the Full Circle School of Alternative Therapies in Edwards, Colorado in 2003.

Her professional education includes numerous workshops, seminars, courses, tutorials, certification programs, and apprenticeships in art, performance training, and healthcare. Ms. Reamer, as a psychotherapist, specializes in teaching clients “inside-out” thinking, where emphasis is on learning self-regulation skills and cultivating self-awareness in the context of integrating physiological and psychological processes for improving health and enhancing human performance. Cranial sacral therapy and breathing training are examples of some of the behavioral-physiologic applications that she uses to teach the meaning of “embracement” (heartful) psychophysiology.
