Why this course
This course is for anyone who has ever felt the power of meditation, visualisation, intention, compassion, energy work, intuition, or connection — but hasn’t always had the science or language to explain it.
Over six months, we’ll explore the real research behind these practices in a clear, grounded, and accessible way, so you can:
- stop second-guessing yourself
- feel confident when questioned
- and finally have words for what you already feel is true
This isn’t about proving anything to anyone else.
It’s about feeling secure in your own understanding.

What's Included In The Course...
MODULE 1
The Mind-Body Connection
Understand how your thoughts, emotions, and expectations shape your biology.
In this foundational module, you'll discover how the mind genuinely influences the body - not as a vague idea, but through real, measurable mechanisms.
You'll explore:
- How the placebo effect actually works in the brain and body
- How meditation reshapes neural circuits and supports health
- The true role of the vagus nerve in calm, resilience, and inflammation
- How visualisation creates real physiological change
- Why the brain doesn't fully distinguish between real and imagined experience
By the end of this module, you'll feel clear, grounded, and confident explaining how the mind-body connection really works- without exaggeration or doubt.
MODULE 2
The Active Ingredient
Discover what truly helps people beyond techniques and tools.
This module explores the often unseen forces that make healing encounters effective - the human, relational, emotional, and environmental factors that quietly shape outcomes.
You'll learn about:
- The Natural Healer Effect
- Mirror Neurons and emotional resonance
- Why environmental factors (nature, sound, scent, safety) matter so much
- How empathy influences healing
- How belief, trust, and expectation shape outcomes
You'll come away with a deeper understanding of what really helps people - and how to optimise your own presence and effectiveness in any supportive or therapeutic setting.
MODULE 3
Biofield Therapies and Other Healing Practices
Understand energy-based practices in grounded, scientific language.
Energy healing is often dismissed - yet many people experience real benefit. This module gives you a balanced, honest, science-informed framework for understanding why.
You'll explore:
- What biofield actually means in scientific terms
- What research on Reiki, Healing Touch, and other practices show
- How intention, attention, and connection may play a role
- How crystals are thought to influence perception and energy
- where science ends and where meaningful uncertainty remains
You’ll finish this module able to speak about energy work clearly and confidently, without overclaiming or underselling it.
MODULE 4
How to Find and Interpret Scientific Research Yourself
Learn how to become your own trusted research guide.
This empowering module will show you how to access and understand scientific studies directly - without needing a science degree.
You'll learn:
- How to use PubMed and other scientific databases.
- How to interpret abstracts and key findings.
- How to recognise strong vs weak research
- What sources you can trust (and some you can't) to tell you science facts
- How to summarise studies in everyday language
- How to communicate research clearly to others
By the end of this module, you’ll no longer rely on second-hand summaries — you’ll have the tools to explore and explain the research yourself with confidence.
MODULE 5
Science and Spirituality Parallels
Explore where ancient wisdom and modern science quietly meet.
In this reflective and fascinating module, you’ll explore how ideas once considered purely spiritual are now echoing through modern scientific thought.
You'll explore:
- What quantum physics actually says - and what it doesn't
- Commonly misunderstood quantum ideas, explained clearly
- Where Buddhism and modern science share a relational worldview
- Where science is pointing toward a more interconnected understanding of reality
- How meaning, consciousness, and relationship sit at the heart of healing
You’ll come away with language that honours both science and spirituality — without confusing the two.
MODULE 6
Perception, Consciousness, and Psi
Explore the deeper questions about awareness, reality, and connection.
This final module opens the door to the biggest questions of all — explored with openness, balance, and scientific humility.
You'll explore:
- Current theories about consciousness
- How perception shapes what we experience as “reality”
- Research into interconnectedness and non-locality
- What modern psi research suggests about intuition and awareness
- What all of this may mean for how we understand ourselves
You’ll finish the course with a broader, calmer, and more integrated understanding of reality — and your place within it.

YES, I WANT IN!MEET YOUR GUIDE
I'm Dr David R. Hamilton
Hi, I’m David. I started my career as an organic chemist in the pharmaceutical industry, where I worked on developing drugs for cardiovascular disease and cancer. I loved the science, the research, and understanding how the body works.
But during those years, I became increasingly fascinated by the ways people healed in ways that couldn’t always be explained by chemistry alone. Their beliefs, emotions, expectations, relationships, visualisation skills, even their sense of meaning — all seemed to impact their recovery.
This curiosity eventually led me to leave industry and spend the next 20 years exploring the place where science meets spirituality, writing books (I'm author of 12 books including, 'Why Woo-Woo Works: The Surprising Science Behind Meditation, Reiki, Crystals, and Other Alternative Practices' & 'How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body'), speaking internationally, and helping people understand the extraordinary ways the mind influences the body.
Along the way, I discovered something important:
Many people can feel the truth of these practices —
but don’t feel confident explaining them.
That’s why I created Why Woo-Woo Works.
To give you the scientific understanding to speak clearly and confidently about the practices you already use and believe in — and to bridge the gap between experience and explanation.
My hope is that this course helps you trust your intuition, deepen your understanding, and feel empowered to share your insights with others.
I’d love to be your guide on this journey.
— David
