“Just follow Jan’s advice, and watch your headaches go away.”
— from the foreword by Alexander Mauskop, MD, Director of the New York Headache Center

“I have followed Jan Mundo’s work for many years and have found it not only useful but profound. Although the focus of this book is on headaches, it speaks to a much bigger subject: the quality of our relationship with our feelings, our minds, and our bodies. I hope The Headache Healer’s Handbook will find its way into the hands of millions of professionals and headache sufferers who wish to empower themselves with superb healing strategies.”
— Gay Hendricks, PhD, author of The Big Leap and Five Wishes

If you want to relieve headaches and migraines naturally and quickly without medication, the Mundo Program is a powerful choice. It will not only relieve you of your pain but also enable you to prevent future headaches and migraines.”
— Michelle S. Fondin, author of The Wheel of Healing with Ayurveda and Chakra Healing for Vibrant Energy

“Jan Mundo has long been a masterful practitioner in the somatic art of healing headaches. Now her new book will bring her tested methodology and techniques to many more who are suffering from migraines and their causes.”
— Richard Strozzi-Heckler, PhD, author of The Art of Somatic Coaching and The Leadership Dojo
