Our Founder/Director and Staff
Nutritional Supplements We Offer
Shelley Smith, Founder and Director of Mental Wellness Therapeutics, Inc/Yoga Meditation & Therapy Center, is a Behavioral Therapist specializing in cognitive behavioral modification techniques. She is also a registered Yoga Therapist and a certified Yoga Teachers' Trainer, in addition to being an author and a public speaker.
Ms. Smith has been teaching Yoga and training Yoga instructors for over 35 years. Her teaching conveys a depth and conviction that come from her expertise in many aspects of Yoga, and she has established several non-profit teaching and therapeutic Centers incorporating behavior modification techniques, individual and group counseling, Yoga, Meditation, and Yoga Therapy.
In addition to teaching, Shelley Smith offers seminars, retreats and training for health professionals using behavioral modification techniques, throughout the United States. She also offers in-depth study of classic Yoga texts. Her book of reflections, Mother Light, was published in 1994 and describes her meditative path of self-discovery. The book’s foreword was written by a former Archbishop of Canterbury who used the book for his morning meditation.
Shelley Smith has trained all instructors for Mental Wellness Therapeutics, Inc/Yoga Meditation & Therapy Center. Our instructors have each trained for a minimum of four years and are teacher-certified. The Center’s staff includes Anne Harvey, Betty Higgins, Jim Holzman,
and Martine Holzman.
