Stacie Bigelow has an independent practice as a psychophysiologist in Edina, Minnesota. She shares a practice with a rheumatologist and works with a variety of medical issues including anxiety disorders, chronic pain, rheumatic conditions, functional medicine diagnoses (irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, cardiac, respiratory/hyperventilation syndromes, non-degenerative temperomandibular pain etc.), headache, cardiac psychology and soon neuropsychology. She uses biofeedback training, restorative yoga, education and other mind-body interventions with her clients.

Stacie is also a Health Behavior Change Consultant who consults and does training for cardiac and other rehabilitation professionals on Stages of Change Theory and counseling skills.

Students at the Adler Graduate School say that Stacie is able to communicate complex issues in an understandable way and that she's an entertaining teacher. "I like to set the bar high," says Stacie, "and to help my students get there. I love celebrating with students when they achieve something they didn't think they could do."

"Teaching and learning are forms of transcendence to me. There is an exhilarating nobility in seeking to understand ourselves and our world, and being a part of the process for others is among the most rewarding activities imaginable for me."
