With her extensive training in health and brain research, Dr. Mona Lisa A. Schulz (a.k.a. "Dr. Mona Lisa") has been a practicing Medical Intuitive for almost two decades. Dr. Mona Lisa received her doctorate in Behavioral Neuroscience from the Boston School of Medicine. Medical intuition is the direct perception of the emotional and psychological patterns that form the basis for a person's state of health or disease. A medical intuitive perceives patterns of energy and information that are beyond the scope of conventionally accepted definitions of space and time. Dr. Mona Lisa believes that all of us were born with intuitive ability and the capacity to read energy fields, but that this innate ability gradually diminishes over time because it has been culturally feared and devalued instead of cultivated. One of the many joys in her life is teaching people how to acknowledge, trust, and develop their own intuitive skills. Dr. Mona Lisa has completed her first book Awakening Intuition, with Harmony Books/Random House, which not only scientifically validates medical intuition, but is also a practical guide for those seeking to tap into their own medical intuition, to address and heal the root patterns associated with their health problems. Dr Mona Lisa’s another book, The New Feminine Brain (Free Press 2005) is an action-oriented, solution-based manual that teaches people how to access their intuition, in order to identify and change the emotional patterns that predispose them to, or exacerbate illness. Her work is featured in the popular One Step Beyond television series on the Discovery Channel. She lives in Yarmouth, Maine with her four cats.
