Biography    

Brent Michael Baum, STB, SSL, ICADC, LISAC, CCH 

Brent Baum’s development of Holographic Memory Resolution® (HMR), founded on the principles of Quantum Physics, has led to his involvement internationally in crisis intervention.  Working with survivors, family members, and rescue personnel of the Oklahoma City bombing, Brent’s work bridged into intervention with airline crisis team members addressing the aftermath of TWA Flight 800. He also worked with survivors and rescue personnel from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C.   

Completing post-graduate training at the Gregorian University in Rome, Brent served as a Catholic priest, a faculty member of Notre Dame seminary, an archeologist in the Near East, clinical director for Cottonwood Treatment Centers, Inc., and is a certified addictions counselor and a clinical hypnotherapist.  Brent maintains a private practice in Tucson, Arizona and is one of a select group of alternative therapists providing services at Miraval: Life in Balance in Northwest Tucson. He is the co-founder of “Michael’s Gift” (www.michaelsgift.org), a non-profit charity devoted to education, training, and dissemination of trauma resolution strategies to the diverse populations affected by the many faces of violence and abuse in our world. He travels throughout the world providing workshops, training and lectures on new and innovative strategies for resolving the trauma. His book, The Healing Dimensions, chronicles his discovery of the principles of HMR and trauma survivors whose experiences paved the way for these revolutionary breakthroughs.  

Holographic Memory Resolution® is a client-centered, body-centered non-traumatizing approach which resolves “frozen” feelings held in the bodymind. Understanding the human body to be a system of coordinated energy patterns that are in continual motion, Brent views disease as resulting from inhibitions in the flow of energy. HMR teaches mastery of those states of consciousness that compromise the flow of energy in the bodymind and result in disease and imbalance.  

This gifted therapist and teacher developed his approach, in part, through his highly developed intuitive abilities, which enabled him to locate and monitor the release of pain from the nerve centers of the body. By focusing on strategies that prompted the release of the painful encoding induced through trauma, he was able to refine this approach for his clients who were seeking release from emotional and physical imprints of trauma. He views his role as that of facilitator and catalyst, empowering clients to achieve their own resolution and healing. An internationally recognized instructor, trauma resolution specialist, and psychotherapist, Brent perceives life as more than chemistry and biophysics, and healing as more than treating symptoms.
