Dr. Jim Manganiello is an award winning clinical health psychologist, mindbody scientist, teacher and author. He’s a longtime innovator in the areas of stress, well-being, personal growth and “inner fitness”.

“Dr. Jim” is a sought after personal growth and well-being consultant. He works in-person and by phone with people from all over the world.

He has presented his work on inner fitness and “Presence” worldwide. His work pioneered the integration of depth psychology, behavioral medicine and the eastern meditative and contemplative sciences. Dr. Jim is one of the few westerners authorized to bridge and introduce rarely available eastern meditative and healing practices to westerners.

Dr. Jim’s life work aims to put powerful knowledge, knowledge that is typically unknown and unavailable, into actionable forms and then make it available to people so they can enjoy long, well-lived, loved and understood lives.

Just one example of this is his Fast Acting Stress Relief Pack. The “Pack” contains resources for fast relief from stress, and stress hormone driven anxiety, panic attacks, phobias and depression. The Pack not only provides fast relief but it also trains people to stabilize the Stress Free State so they can live from an experience of calm, clarity, self-assurance and power.

Dr. Jim earned his B.A. and his Ed.D. at Boston University, where he was directly admitted to doctoral candidacy under a full fellowship awarded on the basis of outstanding promise for professional excellence.

He completed his clinical internship at Boston City Hospital and went on to teach psychology at Boston University for 5 years. He also taught and trained therapists at Lesley University Graduate School for an additional 4 years. He has an academic rank of associate professor. At Lesley he pioneered some of the early mindbody strategies for deep inner growth, stress resilience and holistic health.

Dr. Jim developed an organization to gather and disseminate his work called MESICS®, LLC. Stress Radio is a media resource for MESICS.

His vision for MESICS was born of more than thirty years of research and development. M-E-S-I-C-S is an acronym for the Latin phrase “Mens Sana In Corpore Sano”, which means “A Sound Mind in a Healthy Body”.

Dr. Jim personally developed MESICS Training, a powerful array of health, well-being and “inner fitness” practices. MESICS Training was created, tested and perfected for people who want to train safely and reliably for exceptional well-being, inner freedom and quality of life.

Dr. Jim Manganiello is married to Wanda Stevens, R.N., M.A., LMHC, a women’s health specialist. Wanda runs the MESICS Training programs for woman in midlife and menopause.
