ABOUT DR. KAPLAN

Dr. Stuart Y. Kaplan is a True Holistic Healer who has a deep understanding of what constitutes Health. He employs a wide variety of wellness techniques to help patients achieve “full body” health goals and he specifically hones in on the mind-body connection.

Dr. Stuart Kaplan’s journey into the power of the mind began over 40 years ago during his military service, where he spent long periods in isolation at remote locations. To cope with the solitude and stress of his responsibilities, he immersed himself in the study and practice of yoga. He was deeply intrigued upon discovering that the first definition of yoga is: “Yoga is control of the mind.” This realization sparked a lifelong passion for exploring the mind-body connection.

After his military service, he traveled the world seeking out renowned teachers who had mastered their minds. His dedication led him to study with Swami Satchidananda, under whom he became a certified yoga teacher in 1975.

Inspired by the vast potential of the mind and body, he pursued a career in holistic health, earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1980. Over decades of practice, he has continued expanding his knowledge, attending thousands of hours of advanced training while listening to and learning from more than 100,000 patients. Recognizing the profound role the mind plays in healing, he developed a unique approach that integrates both physical and mental well-being.

In 2010, he became a certified hypnotherapist and began creating guided recordings to help individuals harness the power of autosuggestion. These recordings support personal transformation—improving health, overcoming challenges, and enhancing performance in both social and athletic pursuits. They are now available to you on this website.

Dr. Kaplan maintains his holistic healing practice in the mountains of North Carolina where he enjoys hiking, dancing, teaching yoga and exploring human potential. He is putting his life experiences into a book that is planned to be completed and published in 2023.
