Dr. Elizabeth Harris has worked in general practice for 20 years and holds further qualifications in complimentary health and functional medicine. She has a passion for emergency medicine and rural medicine, having worked in small towns in both New Zealand and the Australian Outback. Working for the past 10 years in the new area of brainwave biofeedback, she uses the latest technology in medical EEG recording which allows for "brain mapping" and training to address brain related conditions such as ADHD, depression, anxiety and traumatic brain injury.
In 2017 Dr. Harris became the first New Zealand Board Certified Neurotherapist and recently opened the first private clinic in the country to offer LORETA neurotherapy. With an interest in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Fibromyalgia, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and chronic unexplained illness, Dr. Harris combines an individualized biochemical and genetic approach with brain health measures and interventions in an aim to address previously unresolved medical symptoms and conditions.
Presenting: “The functional medicine you need to know to both improve your patient's outcomes and know where to look when Neurotherapy isn't working.”
This talk will empower you with the tools you need to find the functional medicine resources for the patient in front of you on a daily basis. First, we will go over a primer/ framework of functional medicine so that you will have a better understanding of the map and where to look. And then we will cover the people/ programs in functional medicine that are massively shifting the needle that you're going to love to hear about! You will walk away from this talk with a "if this, then that" guide to connect your patient with the functional medicine solutions that will augment your work together and solutions where their progress is stuck.
Education Level: INTERMEDIATE
Content builds upon the learner's foundational knowledge, familiarity with the literature and/or experience in a content area. Programming at this level includes more depth than at a beginning level program. It could also serve as a refresher course for individuals who have a background in a content area and are interested in learning more contemporary applications. The primary goal of this particular program is to broaden the clinical, consultative, and research knowledge bases of attendees and was deemed intermediate, by the definition above. For those psychologists using the modality of biofeedback and interested in efficacy, science, and latest clinical applications. This conference presents research relevant to psychological practice, education, and science; (2) it is our intention to host an offering to help psychologists to keep up with the most current scientific evidence regarding assessment, intervention, and education; and (3) we believe that this program would allow psychologists to increase competencies to improve services to patients. This conference is IN NO WAY a substitute for the basic academic education and training needed for entry into the field of psychology.
