IIMHC was founded and is organised by Sohial Farzam, an Australian registered and practicing Emotional Wellbeing Acupuncturist for 19 years. His personal interest and inspiration in the area of mental health and emotional trauma specifically has been his line of work and clinical experience for the past 10 years.

As a long-term ex-lecturer at the Endeavour College of Natural Health (formally known as the Australian College of Natural Medicine) and an international speaker on emotional trauma, Sohial developed connections with like-minded practitioners who share the same passion and love for helping clients experience personal transformations and transcending trauma.

Sohial’s main area of speciality is in Psycho-Emotional imbalances and emotional empowerment. He is a well-known practicing acupuncturist in Australia and he currently presents many seminars on psychological and mental health conditions all around Australia and abroad.

He has a special interest in human psychology, human behaviour, neuroscience, quantum physics and philosophy. He integrates all these study angles into Chinese Medicine concepts to fully understand the dynamics of the psyche. By helping to enhance the awareness and understanding of the true and brilliant nature of the psyche, along with his ability to deliver and communicate such concepts to be applied and understood clinically, Sohial has been able to dramatically help his clients with deep breakthroughs from long term mental health challenges, as well as practitioners with ever expanding shifts in their perception and understanding of mental health and disease.

His primary work in viewing emotional trauma is aligned to the nature and intelligence of the body and psyche in that emotions are signals and cues to a greater purpose and lesson rather than suffering and pain. He argues that emotional trauma serves a purpose in re-aligning people to a more innate way of living…one that is congruent to the value structures of each individual, but one that was deviated due to subordination likely from guilt and shame (early upbringing).

Sohial is also a long-term Facilitator of the Demartini Breakthrough Method. A method developed by world-renowned human behavioural specialist Dr. John Demartini. Sohial has completed many trainings offered by Dr. John Demartini and the Demartini Institute and is a certified Demartini Facilitator.

He has observed four phases of transformation that people experience – these are liberation, breakthrough, elevation and mastery. In other words, and in the great words of a distant mentor of Sohial and well-known teacher Jeffrey Yuen, “the redemption of shen from jing”. The redemption of spirit from matter.

This event was created by Sohial as a platform for uniting the very talented and experienced practitioners to provide an accessible global platform to connect, to share, to educate and upskill fellow health professionals in the services of mental health and wellness. To keep alive the classical traditions of our medicine whilst bridging the gap with current integrative therapies and sciences.
