Instructor Bio: Brian Thompson, Founder of Bnew4life LLC

Brian Thompson's creative foresight and love for healing humanity are the driving forces behind the BNEW4LIFE philosophy. Sadly, at an early age Brian lost his beloved mother, grandmother and many family members to failing health. Hypertension, diabetes, high-stress, diets, and other factors contributed to their departures.

In 2003, Brian was inspired to become part of the solution while working as an activity specialist in a partial hospitalization program on Chicago's south side. He saw a need for self-empowering others to heal themselves through the connecting forces of natural healing and began close study, practice, and meditations of complementary and holistic medicine.

As a behavioral health coach, Brian also implements energy wellness for parenting and child conduct guidance. His vision influenced close friends and advisors to join in the effort to not only heal others but to help them understand their own capacity for self-healing. In May of 2005, BNEW4LIFE held the first Tai chi, stress management and self-defense workshop in Dolton, Il. The healing innovation has seen dramatic growth and results since then. BNEW4LIFE prides itself on impacting lives in the most positive, natural, inspiring, and healthy ways. We do so by offering a variety of services to help all of our clients and groups achieve improved health in mind and body.
