Specializing in Integrative Medicine and Medical Acupuncture, Dr. Robin Eckert is a Board Certified Family Physician who believes that the path to optimum well-being and health is approached from a holistic reference frame, that combines the healing of one's Mind, Body and Spirit.

Most physicians are taught to focus only on the Body, the physical part of this three fold equation. Even if one takes care of their body, eats a healthy diet, loses weight, exercises, takes vitamins or supplements, often one finds that this is not enough. This fundamental sense of lacking, depressed vitality or mood is often caused by neglecting the needs of the mind and spirit. Therefore, Dr. Eckert spends time with her clients to fully listen with an open non-judgmental heart and mind, so she may best serve them in creating an individualized integrative treatment plan that combines the best of conventional western medicine with the best of eastern and mind-body medicine.

With over 31 years of experience practicing meditation, Dr. Eckert provides to her clients Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs that are modeled after the work of Jon Kabat- Zinn, Ph.D. and similar to other MBSR programs that are offered at many prestigious hospitals, including the University of Massachusetts, Harvard and Stanford University Hospitals. MBSR integrates insight meditation with various techniques such as body scanning, walking and eating meditations, along with movement therapies such as Yoga and Qi Gong. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction provides the student-patient with many tools that they can use to enhance their overall sense of well-being, including freedom from pain, chronic disease and mood disorders. MBSR and meditation has been shown by scientific research to greatly improve chronic physical conditions such as psoriasis, chronic pain syndromes and high blood pressure, to name a few.
