Completed by CPH's Graduate Assistant, Michelle Janosik, MSW, LSW “I originally became interested in holistic health and well-being while completing my undergraduate degree at Kent State University. It was here where I was initially exposed to the "non-traditional approaches to medicine", such as yoga, autogenic training, and mindful breathing. Years later, I began working as a Social Worker within my community after receiving my master’s degree from Youngstown State University. I found myself actively working with individuals who had been enmeshed in a world of trauma, chronic pain, abuse, neglect, and even addiction. While working together as a team, I began to teach stress-management techniques, deep breathing, active stretching, and guided imagery in order to reduce stress and promote healing. Dan, (Dr. Winkle) is a previous co-worker, and a wonderful friend of mine. I began to see how intertwined he became in the subject of holistic health and healing, and I decided to join his up-and-coming Mind-Body Medicine group that he was facilitating. The techniques I had grown to love for my patients were now front and center within my own personal journey, and I immersed myself even further. As a Doctor of Occupational Therapy student at Slippery Rock University, my interests are primarily centered around mental health, anxiety reduction, and holistic well-being in regards to medicine, which is explained in great detail throughout our interview noted below”. Mind-Body Medicine: Putting the Pieces Together with Dr. Daniel Winkle, MD.![]() Completed by CPH's Graduate Assistant, Michelle Janosik, MSW, LSW Personal Website: www.eagleseyehealing.com “I am a physician trained in allopathic medicine (MD) that currently resides in the bay area of northern California. I received my medical degree from the University of Toledo College of Medicine and then studied Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) at The Ohio State University. I have always been interested in studying and expanding the promotion of health beyond what is offered with medications. My interest in PM&R was fueled by the inherently integrative approach to the specialty and its willingness to embrace multiple paths to healing beyond just medication or surgical means. Recently I have completed certification process in mind body medicine through the Centers for Mind Body Medicine and working on local program development. This page was inspired by a desire to teach and provide a collection of material that can start to inspire true healing. In addition to an interest in medicine and healing I have had an intense interest in philosophy and spirituality which has influenced my approach to healing immensely. I have had the pleasure to volunteer and lead a rehabilitation focused medical mission for Mission of Love. During our adventure, I was able to learn from the indigenous Mayan people of Guatemala native forms of healing with ancient roots”.
