Gary Bello received his Masters degree in psychology in 1979, followed by postgraduate work in lifestyle counseling and body/mind therapy. He has founded and directed wellness centers in Montreal, Canada, central Vermont, and South Florida. He and his wife, Radha, founded the Essence Meditation Institute in Marshfield, Vermont, a residential facility that provided ongoing stress reduction, breathing, relaxation and meditation classes as well as extensive teachers’ training programs. In 1980, with Dr. Peter Albright, M.D., Gary cofounded New Directions in Health, a holistic medical center in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, that offered individual optimum wellness programs. Based on his years of experience studying and teaching the science of the interaction between the body and mind (psychoneuro­immunology), he has developed a system that utilizes physical postures, exercise, breathing, and relaxation techniques. This method is currently being taught to and utilized by physicians, therapists, and counselors in the United States, Europe, India, and Canada. Gary travels extensively, teaching and ­lecturing on the science of living a balanced, peaceful life.
