Judith Swack

Judith Swack

Needham, MA
PHD
Judith Swack, PhD, holds a profound belief that each individual possesses a radiant and beautiful soul. She understands that souls are embodied in human form to fulfill their unique soul mission and to fully experience life. When individuals find themselves off-track with their life’s purpose or struggling to achieve desired outcomes, it often signals an underlying interference pattern causing misalignment across the conscious, unconscious, body, and soul levels. Judith developed the innovative Healing from the Body Level Up (HBLU) methodology, which is designed to swiftly and effectively eliminate these interference patterns at all levels. HBLU is a holistic psychotherapy approach that harmoniously combines somatic, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. By integrating biomedical science, psychology, and spirituality, along with techniques from applied kinesiology, NLP, Energy Psychology (including TFT, EFT, and TAT), Judith offers a comprehensive system rooted in original research focused on complex damage patterns. This methodology empowers clients to tap into their innate wisdom, enabling the identification of interference patterns and the locations of negative energy within the body. By thoughtfully matching each interference pattern with the appropriate interventions, HBLU provides a pathway to feeling ‘unstuck’ and supports individuals in navigating their journeys with clarity and purpose.
