Jaime Carlo-Casellas, Ph.D.

Stress Management Specialist and Life Coach

In 1999, Jaime Casellas, Ph.D., founded the Stress Management & Prevention Center in Rancho Mirage, California, to help those who are suffering from physical and emotional stress, who feel depressed, and who feel stuck and do not know which way to turn.

His mission is not to be a mentor or teacher but to help you discover  the genius and brilliance within you and start living a more joyful and peaceful life.

Although not a therapist, Dr. Casellas's intent is to help those who feel that they do not need, or are apprehensive about, seeking the help of a mental health professional.

Those who come to his clinic include individuals suffering from conditions such as chronic stress, persistent pain, addictions, anxiety, work related issues, life threatening illnesses, sexual identity issues, and other physical, psychological and emotional stress-related disorders.

When you come to his guided meditation, meditative yoga, and stress reduction sessions, imbued with soft candle light, music, his poetry and the sound of a cascading water fountain, you will be treated to a life changing experience. Moreover, since his doctoral training, included anatomy, physiology, and body mechanics, he will coach you in the safe alignment and engagement of the different yoga postures.

As to his background and academic training, Dr. Casellas, received his Ph.D. in experimental pathology in 1976 from the University of Maryland School of Medicine, doing part of his doctoral research at Johns Hopkins University.

He is a Certified Life Coach (Coach Training Alliance), and a Certified Yoga Instructor (Kripalu Center for Yoga Health). Also, he is registered by the Yoga Alliance and is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists. In 1984 he trained in mindfulness in medicine at the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Healthcare and Society established by Jon Kabit-Zinn, Ph.D., at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

Yet, in spite of his experience and credentials, you will find that Dr. Casellas has more to offer his students and clients, and more in common with them, than they might expect.

As a prolific writer, Dr. Casellas integrates his poetry into most of his sessions. His publications and editorials appear in LA Yoga Ayurveda and Health magazine, Healthy Times Newspaper, Health and Fitness, and Desert Health News. His acclaimed book, Chaos & Bliss - A Journey to Happiness, is a collection of verse and poetry that address the chaos in our lives that interfere with our happiness, healing and empowerment.  The book is available at Amazon.com, or through the Stress Management & Prevention Clinic.

Jaime Casellas is proud to be part of the Mesothelioma Community Resource Coaching Network, as part of the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance, a coalition of top cancer care centers, complementary/palliative treatment providers, caregiver resources, and mesothelioma Attorney Information.
