Robert N. Koppen, MD was born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Having started his career in the very traditional field of ear, nose and throat surgery, he has gradually moved away from dealing with symptoms to search for underlying causes for illness. After studying the body-mind-spirit connection for many years with teachers in Holland, England, and the United States, he has by now been working in the mind-body medical field for over 26 years in Scottsdale, Arizona, specializing in emotional release work, sometimes including clearing unresolved past life issues, spiritual counseling, and explaining and clearing mental and emotional causes for physical illness. This work has initially only been with clients who came to him in person, but in recent years the work has expanded to a national and even international network of clients with whom Dr. Koppen has worked by telephone.
